I think there’s a lot of misinformation being spread here and on the sexual records web site. A few points related to the discussion above or to the web site:
-The average penis size is not 6.2 or 6.5 inches. It is not clear exactly what it is, but the Kinsey data which is assumed as being accurate (and always quoted) was collected using an honour system, where men were asked to measure themselves privately and their measurements were taken on faith. I have read of two more recent studies that have had proper controls and avoided private measurement. In the first it was determined that the average erect penis size is 5.1 inches in length and 4.9 in circumference. In the second, 5.7 inches in length. Other studies concluded that the world average penis size is about 5.1 inches. I’ll note that Uncle Cecil himself appears to have fumbled this question when he answered it years ago.
-A man needs an average of 3 minutes or so to reach orgasm, ranging up to 5 minutes. That is if no control is applied and if the man is enjoying what is happening, but of course most men do apply control to prolong intercourse and enhance the pleasure of both parties. Those are the stats for the average man.
-The gangbang records by pornstars mentioned were laughable affairs in which masturbating or sucking a penis counted for one count. There were fluffer girls stuffed with antibiotics to get the men hard and nearer orgam. 200+ men were involved and the porn stars probably did have 200+ penises in their vaginas, but I doubt if a single one of those men had a proper sex session lasting, say, 15 minutes each. Note that the women were still completely battered after the ordeal.
-Then there’s Special, who smugly and superciliously mentions that 6-8 hours of sex is not unusual for her. This leads me to question her statements–just try to rub your fingers on the back of your hand for 8 hours and see what happens. The human penis is capable of an unmatched feat of hydraulics (we have no penis bone to induce erection, unlike other mammals) but I seriously doubt that even 0.1 percent of the healthy adult unmodified population could maintain an erection for 8 hours straight–especially not on a regular basis. So how is it “not unusual” for you, Special?
-Multiple male orgasms are no mystery. You can have varying degrees of orgasms, and you can have more than one orgasm. Some men have a fast recovery rate, while others are able to continue sexual intercourse after a full orgasm with proper stimulation. Two full orgasms before rigidity is lost are not unheard of, and it is possible to have any number of partial orgasms (little or no ejaculation) in a session. This also prevents the man from becoming numb and keeps him excited during long sessions.
-Women can’t “receive” indefinitely. That is, most women. The supply of natural lubrication is not unlimited, and the skin and mucous membranes in the genital area get rubbed raw even with lubrication. Assuming that a man and woman have normal-sized genitals, soreness will set in sooner or later and make the experience unpleasant. A woman wth a large vagina, or a man with a small penis, could theoretically have abnormally long intercourse with less damage.
-According to the Durex survey (also based on the honour system) the average copulation time changes by country. The Americans and the Australians were the ones who had sex for the longest periods, reported at about 20 minutes if I remember correctly. Of course, individual performances are dramatically different, but the survey gives you a rough idea of the top average.
-Orgasms vary in intensity. If you have a full mind-numbing orgasm you probably will not want to do anything except enjoy it. If you have a milder orgasm you can remain more functional and even continue to have sex. That goes for men and women.
-In spite of Special’s cute condescending little comments (“you poor babies”), sexual preference varies widely among individuals. Some women require extensive stimulation to come, and so do some men. Some people have difficulties in reaching orgasm; this is a disorder and not a privilege. Some people find stimulation just after an orgasm to be uncomfortable, while others like it. Some women don’t like extended bouts of sex because of soreness or other reasons, and some men find that they go numb and lose their erections after a certain period.
And so on. As Woody Allen said, “everyone lies about sex”.
