I saw an article yesterday that had some interesting stats, but I don't know if I believe all of them. One of the stats was that the average time people have sex for is 7 minutes. Is that true for you and your SO?

Hubs is a morning person, so that doesn't leave us much time. Terribly unromantic, though.
I'd be interested in reading this article, if you could link to it!

It feels a lot longer but it's usually around 7 minutes. A "long" time for us is about 15. I can stay wet that long (TMI) so I prefer it not to go all night

Um, are they talking about actual P in V time or like, foreplay and everything else?

I am actually jealous of the people in the 1-7 minutes camp. I like sex to be short and sweet, but sometimes it's not possible!

Quickies under 10, normal session under 20, usually, I think!

Intercourse only. We are in the 16-30 min category. I wouldn't mind if it took less time.

We're in the less than 15 minute camp, but ~10 minutes sounds about right!

I voted start to finish. I have no complaints about the time it takes.

15 minutes?! I voted 30-60 but that's on average, a really good romp will be 1-2hrs.
ETA: this time range includes foreplay but there's some going back & forth

@babyjmama: "really good"?? A 2-hour romp sounds like my worst nightmare!!

@lawbee11: @babyjmama: This may be TMI, but 1 to 2 hours for the actual act (not foreplay)? I would be having some issues down there!

@babyjmama: whaaaat? 1-2 hours?! Ouch.
Um, it's about 10 minutes.
Start to finish? 30.

@BakerBee: well we kind of...uh...make it last. Wink-wink...?? We have foreplay then DTD, more foreplay and a make out sesh, DTD so I guess I can't time it but we had a quickie (we did time it-8min) last weekend and we were both sorely disappointed!!!!

@BakerBee: me too! We would have to stop for sure...I wouldn't make it!

I think they are including "foreplay" or lack there of in the average total.
If not then I guess we have sexy time for 0 minutes.
I voted 16-30.

I'd say most of the time we have "quickies" that last less than 15 minutes. On weekends when we have more time it probably could go up to 45-50 minutes. No complaints here!

I'm guessing they are counting actual intercourse, so I voted based on that! I'm good with the time it takes.

I know it's supposed to be fun and romantic, but when we've gone out to dinner and had a few drinks it takes longer for him to finish... and when it takes any longer than, like, 30 minutes, I am over it! It's usually about 15 minutes, start to finish. I'm happy with that!

I voted based on start (clothes off) to finish and voted in the 16 to 30 minute range, but I'm sure it's closer to 16 than 30. Maybe 20? As long as I get mine, I'm good with that length of time. Much longer than 30 minutes and I'd get bored. And sore.

@babyjmama: holy mackerel! we don't have time for that! get it girl!
i voted start to finish.

I voted 16-30 minutes but that's definitely not all tab a, slot b time...ouch!
persimmon / 1135 posts
I voted including foreplay 30 min to an hour. gosh I miss sex!
persimmon / 1177 posts
I'd say about 20-30 minutes - and probably 2/3 of that time is foreplay.

No idea! For actual p in v time, the shorter the better lol
pomelo / 5000 posts
The p in v comments are cracking me up! I honestly don't know. We've had lots of quickies during fertile windows. I'm going to keep an eye on the time next time!

Start to finish (foreplay to p in v) I voted 30 to 60 min. 3/4 is foreplay. And I have no complaints.
