A Penn State University study concludes that satisfactory sexual intercourse for couples typically lasts only three to 13 minutes, which counters the robust claims that satisfactory sex requires more time.
In their study, Eric Corty and Jenay Guardiana, researchers at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, surveyed 50 members of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research who've collectively seen thousands of patients over several decades. About two-thirds of them responded to the survey and rated a range of time lengths for sexual intercourse -- from penetration to ejaculation -- under the categories of "adequate," "desirable," "too short" or "too long."
The results, the study continues, should help to change expectations and "prevent distress" among those who feel they're not involved in sexual activity long enough before climax.
"These results may also be beneficial to couples in treatment for sexual problems by normalizing expectations," Corty said.
"If both people are enjoying the experience, that's what matters," he said. "If it's five hours, great. If it's five seconds, great. Relax and have a good time and don't worry about how long it lasts."
