I think we’ve got to define average, first. Certainly there are a lot of instances where premature ejaculation is a culprit. There are most certainly other times where the couple keeps going until they’re too exhausted to continue.
All in all, 18 minutes seems about right. Let’s go with that.
I’m not sure the average person checks the clock following coitus.
Alfred Kinsey published two studies on this fascinating subject in 1948 and 1953. His sample mainly comprised 5300 white males and 5940 white females. A point to consider is that most of the participants were younger white adults, so his figures need to be viewed with caution if an average of an all-aged population is required. He reported like so:
A more recent study, if any, might reveal different results with the advent of better sex education during the past 56 years.
It’s very rare to see a porno scene with 18 minutes of coitus- most of them are in the 8-10 minute range, which seems closer to being correct to me. Not including foreplay, of course.
Average for myself I couldn’t say. Gone up to 1.5 hours without finishing (was just physically exhausted), and as quick as 3 minutes. There is no discernible science that I can read into why sometimes more, sometimes less. It is just different in every situation and with different people.
My measurement of success or failure is basically the level of satisfaction I provide for my better half, and I don’t think that can be measured in time.
The OP wasn’t asking, “How long does it take to rub one out?” That time is noticeably shorter, at least for me, because I’m doing it with the sole purpose of getting off. The in between steps aren’t as fun.
Wouldn’t the position used factor into it? One friend told me he might last 5-8 mins using missionary or doggy-style. However, if it was cowgirl, he could read the sportspage (15-20 mins).
Depends - there’s one (gay) porn scence that comes to mind which is shot with one camera and so it’s all one continuous shot, there’s no editing. In it five tops fuck one bottom in succession, and each man’s penetration to orgasm time varies quite a bit (roughly something like 3 minutes, 1 minute, 10 minutes, 30 seconds and 10 minutes).
That said how well you know the person you’re having sex with has an impact too; sex with a one night stand is a whole different affair to someone you’re married to.
THREE HOURS??? Good GOD, who wants THAT??? I’d be screaming “UNCLE” at the 20 minute mark!
I dated a guy who was a marathon fucker… I didn’t last long with him, in any respect! It was like, “Ok, ok, I’m impressed, now could you please cum and get the hell off of me!!!”
That describes me - if I’m being a top you’re guaranteed to get fucked for a looooooooooooooooong time (in fact I’ve only cum from penetrating someone once, but then I don’t top that often).
You’d think people would be pleased with such a prospect, but I had to stop seeing a fuckbuddy because he wanted me to fuck him and cum relatively quickly but frequently, and I’m just not able to do that.
Are we just measuring insertion to first ejaculation? If it’s kept in for additional ejaculations, are we restarting the clock? And are we including oral in the data?
