How much time you spend on intimacy is also strongly linked<\/a> to your personal circumstances. Some of the most common factors affecting the duration of sex are:<\/p>\n For example, older couples may need to extend their preparatory phase. As we age, we need more caressing and manual stimulation to be ready for intercourse.<\/p>\n Another group affected by “special circumstances” is new parents. They typically master the art of quickies. To stay intimate as a couple, they need to get creative and use the little free time they have during naps or between feedings.<\/p>\n Many people think that sexual intercourse is like a marathon, but it is really more of a sprint. According to one study<\/a>, conducted in five countries, the average time of penetration was 5.4 minutes.<\/p>\n Another interesting questionnaire<\/a> was conducted among American and Canadian sex therapists. Based on their professional experience, “adequate” length of intercourse was between three to seven minutes, with “desirable” duration ranging from 7 to 13 minutes.<\/p>\n If we look at the total length of the intimate act, including caressing and position changes, results will vary widely, depending on the country. For example, an average sexual encounter takes about<\/a> 41 minutes in the United States and only 21 minutes in South Africa.<\/p>\n Short intercourse is not necessarily reason to worry. Many couples find bedroom satisfaction beyond penetration. Activities such as kissing, hand jobs or oral stimulation can help you both make the most of your intimate moments.<\/p>\n Being able to delay ejaculation can, however, be very important if your partner enjoys so-called vaginal orgasms. According to a 2020 study<\/a>, women need on average over 13 minutes to climax during intercourse.<\/p>\n Surprisingly, ED medication goes beyond enabling an erection. It can also help you last longer in bed. Pills such as Cialis<\/a> or Viagra\u00a0<\/a>will give you a reliable hard-on. This means you will be able to make love without interruptions.<\/p>\n Modern erectile dysfunction treatments have one more positive side effect. They shorten your body’s refractory period. After taking the pill, you will be able to have sex again sooner. If your lover could not reach full satisfaction the first time around, after a short rest you will be ready to have another go.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t delay finding professional medical advice if you suspect erectile dysfunction. Modern treatments are safe for most men and very effective.<\/p>\n\n
