The duration of intercourse is a very complex issue, depending on many external factors and the personal preferences of the couple. With this in mind, I’m sure each of us has our own idea of what ideal intercourse is. However, there are studies conducted by sexologists that determine how long a successful intercourse should last. It was mentioned by a therapist from Philadelphia, Dr. Sonya Maya. The expert runs her own TikTok channel dedicated to sexual education.
What she said shocked many followers of her profile – as evidenced by the comments under the video. Contrary to popular opinion, mutually satisfying intercourse does not have to take a lot of time – it lasts on average “from 3 to 9 minutes”, according to Dr. Maya. According to the specialist, men are often afraid of premature ejaculation. In her opinion, the definition of this phenomenon is different than it commonly seems.
The proper definition of premature ejaculation ends after a minute or even less
– Dr. Maya explained.
She added that if ejaculation occurs within 5 minutes, it is completely normal. – 5 minutes is the average, looking at the whole world – she clarified. She also explained that this issue can be looked at from an “evolutionary perspective” – earlier ejaculation may be better for procreation because sperm spreads more efficiently.
How long should satisfactory intercourse last? There are studies
Scientists have done quite a lot of research on this topic. For example, the National Institute of Health published data in 2019 showing that men need an average of 5 to 7 minutes to achieve orgasm. A year later, another study was conducted, which showed that on average women need 13 minutes for this.
The answer to the question about the ideal duration of intercourse is not simple. This issue was also looked at by therapists who took part in the study, the results of which were published in the “Journal of Sexual Medicine”. It is a peer-reviewed medical journal published on behalf of the International Society of Sexual Medicine.
Experts were asked to establish specific time frames, divided into the following categories: “appropriate”, “too long”, “too short”, “desirable”. Studies have shown that vaginal penetration lasting 1-2 minutes is considered “too short.” In turn, intercourse lasting from 10 to 30 minutes was considered “too long”. Intercourse lasting 3 to 7 minutes turned out to be “adequate”. The term “desirable” was defined as an intercourse that took an average of 7 to 13 minutes.
In the cited recording, Dr. Sonya Maya explained that premature ejaculation can only be called a situation in which a person has no opportunity to delay it and control it. Such circumstances may result, for example, from the stress to which the person is exposed. As for the research results that define the average time frame for successful intercourse – really sexologists recommend that, first of all, we should be guided by ourselves and our partner, our emotions and needs, which are, after all, very individual.
The length of sexual intercourse is influenced by many factors, such as the atmosphere, mood, well-being during the day, stress, fatigue, and even the meal eaten just before intercourse. Therapists recommend that, first of all, you focus on honest and open communication in this regard, regarding your own feelings and preferences.
