How long should sex last?

I’m just curious to see what everyone’s opinions are on this matter. My girlfriend and I usually average about roughly 45 minutes to an hour but sometimes she doesn’t want it to end and we go for 2 hours. By that time I’m done. It doesn’t feel great anymore and just starts to feel like a chore. She insists it isn’t very long but yet I do most of the work. . So what does everyone else think? 1 hour or more too long?

  • More than one hour of sex is just a pain. What the hell? I couldn’t imagine going that long. Maybe she just takes longer to orgasm and after and hour she does? I don’t know… That isn’t really normal or desirable to me.


    There’s some studies saying “sex should last from 3-7 minutes”
    Some saying that “10-30 minutes is too long”
    And “7-13 minutes is desirable”


    My boyfriend lasts 7-13 minutes I think, it depends on position, location, and foreplay. Anything past 15 minutes can get tiring. I really don’t need to go for so long, neither does he.

  • Generallly for me?
    Foreplay 30-40 minutes.
    Peneration in doggy or pronebone position :-
    1 minute of slow and shallow thrust to warm her up. ( I Insert around 1-3” into her)
    2 minutes of slow thrust where it is 4 shallow, 1 deep ( a bit more than half of mine into her) and every 3rd or 4th it would be 5-8 shallow and 1 or 2 full.
    2 minutes of fast thrust 5 shallow ,2 deep 1 full.

    then change to missionary:-
    5-10 minutes of long, fast and deep strokes till she cums.

    After that deep, fast strokes till I cum usually 3-5 minutes.

    If we do a 2nd round then there won’t be a warm up.

  • Hmm... Personally its hard for me to cum unless she's super into which requires a lot of foreplay and getting her off as much as I can. Totall for a round i would say 20-45 depending on the sexual dynamics of how you be screwing. Now if she likes to go longer, maybe don't screw as hard and learn to enjoy the her/your sensations leading up to climax rather than bang for half an hour and pop one off. Ya know? You might want to get into couples edging techniques. Wonderful way to explore sexual limits with each other 💯

  • Seriously after 20 minutes I do what it takes for myself, and some times it takes over an hour or more. But after an hour I take a break and come back to it in 10 to 15 minutes.

  • Quickies have their place, but I like to go as long as my girl is comfortable with. Often this involves multiple orgasms over time from both of us (more so from her). As a guy I might not be able to do that forever, so might as well while I can lol. Ideally we sort of check in with each other periodically, so the action stops when one or both of us gets tired. The actual time varies depending on time of day, what else went on that day, individual stress levels, etc.

  • When it stops being fun, stop. You get to have an opinion too, and if it’s a chore it will make the next time a little bit worse for you etc until you start to resent it.

  • As long as you both have to enjoy it sometimes a 5-minute quicky to hours in foreplay and teasing

  • It should last as long as it has to.

  • 10 minutes including foreplay. I take a stop watch. If it's 10 minutes. I just stop. No reason to do more than that.

  • Depends on the 2 people. If both are satisfied after 20 minutes then ok.
    Once a girl kept me up all fucking night. I mean I aim to please but
    that was too much. I would say 45 min. is typical.

  • It depends on the situation..

  • Until both cum in my opinion

  • Hours upon hours lol

  • 15-20 minutes I wished I could find someone that could go that long.

  • About an hour is good

  • If you're good at foreplay than you can proceed for longer hours
    I personally feel anything over 20 mins of thrusting is just exhausting.
    You can always use your fingers and mouth to help her orgasm fast so that you don't leave her unsatisfied

  • For me the target goal for a decent hanky panky is 30~45 minutes.
    Foreplay, 7~10 minutes first pump, about 15 minutes on the second, sometimes third but I can't always finish reliably at that point.
