\*Originally posted by reprise \* “Personally, I don’t accept any of these cites. . .” I don’t either. No hard numbers. The general consensus there is “as long as it takes”. “So now all you need to do is arrange the funding for the SDMB study into the mysteries of female orgasm…” Funding schmunding. That’s why they call them “volunteers”. ---

[sub]I can’t believe I’m posting this, but…[/sub] Generally, the handmade ones 😉 take five to ten minutes. I’ve tried using a vibrator, and it took much longer and for some reason, it wasn’t as good. Paired with a little porn, though, it was much more effective. My record is under three minutes. I didn’t really make it a point to time it; my clock radio happens to be near my bed. ---

Are we counting from the point of not-even-thinking-about-anything-sexual to eyes-rolling-back-in-the-head-edge-of-unconsciousness? It all depends on what is getting me from point to point. If I am just entertaining myself because I have nothing else to do, it takes longer–maybe twenty minutes. If I’m looking at porn or something similar, it takes a litle less–say 5-10 minutes. However, if I am reading something highly erotic, it barely takes any time (or any effort) at all! However, all of these are just estimates. There are times that I can recall a particularly stimulating mental image and get off immediately. ---

i made the mistake two years ago of informing my friends that i could do it, start to finish, in under thirty seconds. i _can_ do it under thirty seconds, but after i made my announcement, i couldnt go in my room without being followed by a crowd with a stopwatch. thirty seconds is an approximation - i’ve never bothered to time it exactly (29.5? 31.43?), but it is definitly close. of course, if i’m in the mood to stretch it out a bit, it can go for a good deal longer… lately (sad, pathetic sigh), i’ve been the only person i can turn to for that kind of satisfaction. i can pee really fast, too. when i was a swimmer, i could go from in the pool, to the locker room (where i’d pee), to the pool, in less than a minute. impressed? i thought so. : ) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Geobabe \* > \*\*I just responded to the GQ thread but I’ll give a more detailed response here. My record is about 30 seconds (I was watching an MPEG video so I know exactly how long it took). Most times, between 1 and 5 minutes depending how aroused I am to start with and whether I use _ahem_ aids, visual or mechanical. \*\* **Geobabe** just became my favorate female poster!
