Speaker:
00:00:37
Hello there, Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong. I'm a sexual health
Speaker:
00:00:41
specialist, medical doctor for 25 years, who treated over 7000
Speaker:
00:00:46
men. In today's episode, we're going to talk about most common
Speaker:
00:00:50
question any man or woman will ask, how long does sex usually
Speaker:
00:00:56
last? Everybody has an opinion about this, so I'm just going to
Speaker:
00:01:00
show you what is in the research, and then you can make
Speaker:
00:01:04
your opinion from there. So this is not anything that is
Speaker:
00:01:08
concrete. This is individualized. This is just
Speaker:
00:01:12
something to start conversation with.
Speaker:
00:01:14
Study consistently show that the duration of penetrative vaginal
Speaker:
00:01:19
intercourse varies widely, but most research point to an
Speaker:
00:01:24
average range of 3 to 7 minutes per session. This figure is
Speaker:
00:01:30
based on the time from vaginal penetration to ejaculation,
Speaker:
00:01:35
often referred to as intravaginal ejaculation latency
Speaker:
00:01:45
time or IELT, that is the only the time it doesn't account for
Speaker:
00:01:48
foreplay, doesn't account for anything else. So what's
Speaker:
00:01:50
considered adequate or normal? 3 to 7 minutes. Too short, 1 to 2
Speaker:
00:01:56
minutes. Desirable, 7 to 13 minutes too long, maybe 10 to 30
Speaker:
00:02:04
minutes, because it may cause some discomfort for some. Now,
Speaker:
00:02:07
these categories come from a survey of sex therapists and
Speaker:
00:02:11
studies involving hundreds of couple using stopwatch to time
Speaker:
00:02:15
intercourse. And the range is broad, some session lasting as
Speaker:
00:02:19
little as 33 seconds to other lasting 44 minutes, but on
Speaker:
00:02:24
average, remains about 5 to 7 minutes.
Speaker:
00:02:28
Now I want to say that there are multiple factors affecting
Speaker:
00:02:33
duration. Number one, definition of sex. Most studies only
Speaker:
00:02:37
measure penile, vagina, intercourse, foreplay, oral sex
Speaker:
00:02:42
or other activities are not included in the averages. Number
Speaker:
00:02:46
two, individual and couple variability, such as age, health
Speaker:
00:02:51
status, relationship status and personal preferences all play a
Speaker:
00:02:57
role in how long sex last and what is considered satisfied.
Speaker:
00:03:01
Number three, partner satisfaction. Satisfaction is
Speaker:
00:03:05
not strictly linked to duration. Some partner may prefer shorter
Speaker:
00:03:10
or longer sessions, and communication about preferences
Speaker:
00:03:14
is really key.
Speaker:
00:03:16
Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and you don't have to
Speaker:
00:03:20
suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating, and even
Speaker:
00:03:25
defeating. The endless guessing, the quiet shame, the weight of
Speaker:
00:03:30
not feeling like yourself is exhausting. But here's the
Speaker:
00:03:34
truth, you are not broken. You are not alone. You don't have to
Speaker:
00:03:40
figure this out alone anymore. The Get Wood Now Boost Program
Speaker:
00:03:45
is your step by step, path to sexual confidence and
Speaker:
00:03:50
restoration. No more suffering in silence, no more trial and
Speaker:
00:03:55
error, just real solution, real result and the confidence you
Speaker:
00:04:00
deserve. It's time to take back your power on your term. Let's
Speaker:
00:04:04
get this journey started together. Check out the course
Speaker:
00:04:08

Speaker:
00:04:13
Now, let's talk about foreplay and total sexual experience.
Speaker:
00:04:16
When including foreplay and other sexual activity, the total
Speaker:
00:04:20
duration of a sexual encounter can range from 20 to 60 minutes
Speaker:
00:04:25
or more, depending on the couple. However, the actual time
Speaker:
00:04:29
spent in penetrative intercourse remain much shorter, like I
Speaker:
00:04:33
discussed before.
Speaker:
00:04:34
So in reality, the key takeaway is this, there is no single
Speaker:
00:04:38
normal duration for sex. Let me say that again, no single normal
Speaker:
00:04:41
duration for sex. Most penetrative vaginal intercourse
Speaker:
00:04:49
lasts about 3 to 7 minutes, and note, but satisfaction depends
Speaker:
00:04:54
on individual and partner preferences, not the clock. So I
Speaker:
00:05:01
just wanted to present that, because it's the most common
Speaker:
00:05:04
question people ask, and it's kind of like those questions you
Speaker:
00:05:07
want to ask when you're embarrassed to ask. Well, I kind
Speaker:
00:05:10
of state the fact and the research, but there is a wide
Speaker:
00:05:14
range of variability that I want to stress again, there is no
Speaker:
00:05:18
single normal duration for sex. No judgment here. Everyone is
Speaker:
00:05:23
individualized. So the duration of sex does not mean
Speaker:
00:05:28
satisfaction in any sense of the word.
Speaker:
00:05:31
So I hope you find this interesting and good
Speaker:
00:05:35
conversation, and everybody has an opinion on this. So let me
Speaker:
00:05:40

Speaker:
