More suffer from rapid ejaculation, in which they cum faster than it takes them or their partner to feel satisfied. It’s something to dread.īut at some point in their lives at least a third of men suffer from premature ejaculation, regularly finishing within one minute of penetrative sex to their distress. All too often, porn sex isn’t something to emulate.

In fact, for a number of women, more than ten minutes of pure jackhammer action is just too much. (Data on non-hetero sexual desires and performance is, unfortunately, harder to come by.) It should also by now be common knowledge that ample foreplay is often far more important for a good sexual encounter than a long slog of pure pumping.

The consensus opinion among sex therapists seems to be that most heterosexual couples think seven-to-13 minutes of pure penile-vaginal penetration is desirable, but that three to seven minutes is completely adequate. In truth, most men shouldn’t worry about their sexual endurance.
