While some have already returned to work and others are still enjoying their last moments of idleness, the HuffPost asks a fundamental question this morning: “How long does a sexual relationship normally last? »
We can always laugh at the idea of reducing lovemaking to a temporal performance, the fact remains that those who have never thought about it belong to a tiny minority of the population.
Moreover, underlines the platform in this blog, even scientists are wondering. But in chosen terms. The “average latency of vaginal ejaculation”, as they say, is not easy to determine. By basing a study on the declarative, the specialists fear that the results will be overestimated. It’s human !
So, to answer this back-to-school question, the HuffPost referred to a work carried out more than ten years ago. From all over the world, 500 couples had to measure the duration of their intercourse for four weeks with a stopwatch.
The result borders on the big gap. From 33 seconds to 44 minutes, answered the guinea pig couples. But for those who would like to have a standard value, know that the median duration is 5.4 minutes. In other words, 50% of the participants are below this bar, the other half above.
A few details to spice up the dish. Condom use or circumcision have no influence on the result. In this list, the Turks seem to be the most in a hurry (3.7 minutes). Finally, the older a couple, the shorter the sexual relations.

Difficult when you have in mind the figure of 44 minutes!
