A male reader, Mr Clark United States +, writes (20 December 2010):

The only thing that really matters is if you like it. But, here's what one survey of sex therapists had to say:

"ScienceDaily (Apr. 2, 2008) — Satisfactory sexual intercourse for couples lasts from 3 to 13 minutes, contrary to popular fantasy about the need for hours of sexual activity, according to a survey of U.S. and Canadian sex therapists. . . .

The average therapists' responses defined the ranges of intercourse activity times: "adequate," from 3-7 minutes; "desirable," from 7-13 minutes; "too short" from 1-2 minutes; and "too long" from 10-30 minutes.

'A man's or woman's interpretation of his or her sexual functioning as well as the partner's relies on personal beliefs developed in part from society's messages, formal and informal,' the researchers said. 'Unfortunately, today's popular culture has reinforced stereotypes about sexual activity. Many men and women seem to believe the fantasy model of large penises, rock-hard erections and all-night-long intercourse.'"

A male reader, Illithid United States +, writes (20 December 2010):

Illithid agony auntI think this is a problem of definitions. "Sex" meaning actual intercourse isn't going to last as long as you're thinking. 10-45 minutes is a fine run. Hell 45 minutes would be a marathon. When people talk about "sex" lasting hours, they mean ALL of sex, including making out, undressing, engaging in foreplay, exploring one another, taking their time, and then yes eventually having intercourse. In some cases, they even mean having sex, then cuddling and going back to foreplay and having sex again later without leaving bed in the middle.

Red591 agony aunt2 hours ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha .........ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. You are awesome and I needed that. Movies lie. Cosmo magazine lies. 30-45 min is outstanding but to be honest I would not enjoy it after an hour anyways. It's like enough already I'm sleepy and I have a cramp. Lol

smiliek agony auntUmmm sex itself could go from 30secs to a couple hours. Depending if the guy is drunk also.. But normally sex wouldn't even last 40mins. I think you should learn a bit more about sexual activity before engaging in it, please tell me you're using protection?? Generally, sex shouldn't last that long. It can start to hurt the girls (sometimes the guy) and unless he's drunk it means he's got a problem orgasming. Generally. If you have the idea of lasting hours from porn, please understand that porn is false. Whats depicted in it shouldn't transfer across to real world (apart from the 'normal' aspects.) Oh, and some guys orgasm within seconds of sex, so be thankful your first was a long laster

marcia99116 agony auntLOL - it only lasts that long if you have a very very experienced partner and they are interested in your pleasure as much as theirs! Typically sex lasts from 10 minutes (his orgasm) to 30/40 (if you are reaching orgasm too). 2 hour sex is for the extra creative and sensual.

Pick up Cosmo - they have lots of suggestions for talking about sex with a partner. The best advice I have read has been starting with what you like about sex, sharing your fantasy, what you would like to try and all when you are not having sex... maybe teasing him by whispering it in his ear when he is not expecting it - turning him on in a place where he cannot have you so he is thinking about it... until he can. Etc - but like I said - cosmo great for all kinds of tips in this department!

30 OR 40 MINUTES!

You have a lot to learn about sex, I'll tell you that. I don't know where you got the figure of an hour or 2 from, but if sex is lasting that long, usually it means that the guy has problems, or that neither is turned on. Maybe if you include lost of foreplay you can make the hour mark, but that's really it.

The length of sex is completely varied, could be as little as 5 minutes or be a marathon session of a few hours
