How long should sex last?

[dfresh3]

Not fucking or drunk sex, but a normal satisfying session. I know answers are going to vary a lot but I'm curious because i read an article recently that surprised me because i believe on a massive survey that the average time including foreplay was like 6 or 7 minutes. Seems a little shorter than ideal to me.

After 90 minutes I'm spent unless I get a good long break.

Your times may vary depending on, well you know.

I like long foreplay but am happy if sex only lasts 10 minutes haha. If I've already had an orgasm during foreplay then I'm happy. If I've orgasmed during sex in 10 minutes then I'm happy for the guy to cum. If I haven't orgasmed in that time then it's likely I won't and I want it to be over with I've never been into really long sex. Men have never seemed to mind.

I have never had any sexual episode last six or seven minutes - not even my first time!

Even if he gives me an orgasm during the first seven minutes it's then his turn. And, boy howdy, we could be there a good bit because if there's one thing I've learned about older men is they have stamina in spades! Sometimes that's good. Sometimes that's bad.

In our case, I can count on not scheduling anything for at least 45 minutes. Of course, a weekend bed and breakfast is a weekend. Breaks included, of course. We wouldn't want to wear anything out.

Usually it's ok 20 minutes, I can say 30 minutes is good, everything included.

I don't want too long....I mean, I really like sex, but I have a life too

hmmm my experience includes everything from minutes long against the wall quickies to hours long smexy days
i've gotten off during all of them, that same for my partners
don't really have an ideal time frame for the love down
it really depends on the energy of the session

60-90 minutes of intense foreplay, penetration anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. If it starts to hurt because I'm getting sore then he can finish in a minute or two once I give him the go ahead to finish.

I am not into marathon sex. My ADD brain gets bored really quickly.

You mean guys can actually last past 60 seconds...

This seems like a you know it when you see it kind of question. It should last long enough but not too long.

My sexual pleasure has lasted 4-5 hours at times. All night long at least once in my lifetime is on my bucket list.......... but only in a dream.......

...until someone cries "uncle!"

Routine rote sex...10 mins (just get done please)

But sincere "I've missed you and can't wait to fuck you" long and slow...make sure we are both worked up .. anywhere between 45 mins and 2-3 hours... depending on availability of time. ..and need. (This... is what I miss most. It was so much a part of our life....sigh. sorry that's an entirely different thread)

Good lord, 6-7 minutes including foreplay?

I guess I'm the opposite If foreplay goes on too long it annoys me.
Give me just enough foreplay to get me wet and then bring on the penetration for at least an hour

Sex should last Forever all through Eternity. I would be in my Glory.

To the satisfaction of all parties. That could be 5 minutes or it could be 3 hours. Time is not so important as much as passion and awareness of your partner/partners.

And it also kinda depends on the intent... is it a quick "just get to O as fast as you can" shag or is it a passionate session where you really want to learn what feels good between the two of you... totally different duration.
