Sex on a Timer
So there was a recent survey by sex therapists that concluded that the “optimal amount of time for sexual intercourse was 3 to 13 minutes”. So out the window goes that notion that in order for sex to be satisfying it has to last a long time, right? right? right?
Of course there will be those that disagree with the findings. Some of us (this writer included) don’t mind having sexy time for quite a while. In fact, to reference a previous post, it makes a great nightcap (and sleeping pill). But what about this idea that the ideal time is the 3 to 13 minute mark? Do you feel that there’s an optimum time during sexual activity where you get the most pleasure?
And what about all of these sex aids that allow you to have intercourse for longer periods of time? Wouldn’t you think that they are designed mostly because people enjoy that good long session?
Me? I think that sex of any length (as long as it’s good and satisfying) is fine.
Til next time,
Best Wishes for Better Sex
