How long sex should take?

It seems that being able to deliver a “long lasting” performance in bed has a key importance for most of the guys out there. One of my regulars often complains about having a quick orgasm. Maybe he feels like an underachiever… I am not sure if there is such a thing, but certainly it inspired me to do a little research and possibly write a blog post about it. I found a non representative article that suits the topic. According to the findings in the article, a sole intercourse lasts about 5,5 minutes. Of course the entire game with all the fore play and after play lasts much longer than that. I have never met a person who had complained about having too long foreplay, so we are only considering the length of the actual intercourse. Here is the entire article, so you might want to read it just for the fun of it. After all it's not the length of sex that matters but the intensity and the joy of it.

This is how long sex supposed to last
A scientist, though, would phrase the same question in an almost comically obscure way: What is the mean intra vaginal ejaculation latency time?
The other problem is that people don’t necessarily know how long they go for. Sex isn’t something people normally do while monitoring the bedside clock, and unassisted time estimation may be difficult during a transportive session of love-making.

Why do we have sex for so long?
Why we last so long is a pretty complicated question with no clear answer, but a clue may be in the way the penis is shaped. In 2003 researcher showed– using artificial vaginas, artificial penises, and artificial sperm (corn syrup) – that the ridge around the head of the penis actually scoops out pre-existing syrup from the vagina.
What this suggests is that men’s repeated thrusting might function to displace other men’s semen before ejaculating, ensuring their own swimmers have a better chance of reaching the egg first. Incidentally, this could explain why it becomes painful for a man to continue thrusting after ejaculating since that would risk scooping out his own semen as well.
So what to do with this information? My advice would be to try not to think about it in the throes of passion.”
