Keep working on it. You should be able to build up to a decent stamina in no time. My record is six hours. That’s right, six hours straight and eight orgasms. They said it couldn’t be done. ---

What are you smoking? 8-10 orgasms in 15-20 minutes. HA. That girl lied to you, my friend. Anyway, let’s see, if you did it for an hour, and she sues you for palimony for 18 years…scribble scribble…that makes 200 seconds of pleasure for each year of child support you have to pay! Wow! Now _that’s_ getting your money’s worth. ---

We were both virgins when we started going out and neither of us has any reason to lie. I work at getting her off. 1 or 10 orgasms don’t make any real difference (in fact, everytime she reaches her “O” it prolongs sex because I gotta stop for a moment!) so there isn’t any reason to lie at all. Of course YMMV and all that. ---

Yes, I remember realizing we’d been going at it for 5 1/2 hours once back in my early 20’s. That was decades back though and now I remember it more like some fanciful dream. ---

> [@UrbanChic](#): > > Congrats, teemingONE. > > Was it an hour including foreplay or was it an hour of nonstop boinking? There was about 15 minutes of foreplay before the boinking ( for her, I’m still a little weird about getting anything from her). Then there was about 3 sets of boinking. Meaning we stopped for a couple minutes to just grab on each other and kiss passionately without worrying about thrusting or what was going on down there. Maybe I was a little generous in saying that I lasted an hour, I was up and hard for the whole thing, even when I wasn’t inserting it anywhere. It still counts right? ---

Erm, I’m not sure if you’re joking or not there are those of us who are able to have multiple orgasms per sexcapade. I’ll admit that 8 - 10 are numbers I haven’t seen in years but more than three is not unusual for me. ---

Maybe I was a little generous in saying that I lasted an hour, I was up and hard for the whole thing, even when I wasn’t inserting it anywhere. It still counts right? Well, what’s it matter? No one’s keeping track. I kind of think of it like having a hamburger for supper. I _can_ eat it for an hour, but I’m going to enjoy it more if I finish it in about 10 minutes. If you can go from an hour, why not 2? Why not 3? There comes a point when it’s just too long. I guess when you’re younger and first dating, it’s kind of fun to just hang out in bed fondling each other naked for a couple hours straight, so more power to ya. Anyway, it’s nice when you start getting control of matters, too, instead of just _hump hump phhhfffttt!_ So, Kudos on that. But there’s nothing special about an hour, exactly, IMHO. ---

You can still say you lasted an hour: I was just curious, that’s all. Trunk, perhaps you missed the first part of the OP but it seems teemingONE may have had a problem in the keeping-it-up department. Congrats, again, teemingONE. ---

Just poking you back (in a completely non-sexual way). 8-10 is our upper limit (and what I aim for) while 5-6 is “normal”. 5 1/2 hours? Holy shit. I bow down to the master 😃 My record is ~2 hours. And that included strawberry jam, a bathroom counter and a jucuzzi in a $500 / night hotel 😃 ---

Good job, **teemingONE**. Sounds like you both had a great time and you were a major stallion. So long as you don’t get obsessed with quantifying “success” in sex (by time, number of orgasms, etc.) or trying to outdo yourself (heh), this will hopefully give you the confidence you need to achieve even greater feats of sexual glory. And that is good. ---

And now a word of warning: I had a friend in college who had to undergo surgery for a hernia in the groin/abdomen region that he got from **fucking his girlfriend too hard**. 😮 Don’t let this happen to you! Know your limits, even when you’re testing them!! I have to say there is something I am very curious about: You girls who have “multiples” regularly: Is 8 orgasms in 20 minutes really realistic? It just sounds completely ridiculous to me. I’ve had four non-self-induced in one night, over about three hours or so, and I’ve had two self-induced in about 20-30 minutes (I wasn’t really watching the clock), but 8 in 20 minutes just sounds, well, made-up, let alone 10 in 15 minutes. So, my question is, can you come 8 times in 20 minutes? How about 10 times in 15 minutes? (Also, if this happened to me, I would die. My orgasms are very very strong and make me very sensitive afterward, and I really think after like five in a row I’d be in physical pain. I’m pretty happy with one big one myself, but cheers to the girls who can, um, achieve more.) ---

Since I’m not all that “experienced” I have no idea if 8 or 10 in 15 minutes (or 20 minutes or even an hour) are difficult to achieve. I know the timing is about 13-17 minutes (not including foreplay) because of the TV. Very strong orgasms stop sex (as a male I can understand how sensitive things get) but “quickie” ones don’t. I can keep going straight through 3 or 4 orgasms with my GF (usually the first few are the strongest, while the others get progressively weaker). The last ones usually take a lot of work and can end up hurting (which is why we aim for 5-6 normally). Wow, maybe I should tape our sex next time to prove things to you folks 😃 ok, maybe not.
