A couple of years ago, I spotted this goofy article from the Associated Press. There apparently was a four-week study done through the Journal of Sexual Medicine to determine the optimal amount of time for sexual intercourse. 1500 couples participated in this venture. And it was determined that the time floats between 3 and 13 minutes, with a median time of nearly 8 minutes....Now friends, we're only talking about actual penetration, pumping and orgasm from the male...that's it. They strapped stopwatches on women to determine such a thing....
Oh and another thing.... this study was done in 2005! It took three years for the damned thing to be published in May of 2008! It doesn't count foreplay (which as we all know can be most of the fun anyway) or any other sexual act. And apparently, it makes no difference how old or young the male was....the results were startlingly similiar. It mentions nothing of the quality of what was going on, or any variant factors involved (position, diet, conditions, influences, preferences), or how many times each couple fucked each other in the four weeks, or whether the women had orgasm, or if any comments about even enjoying this kind of factory fucking were offered as evidence of anything important.
Shall I go on? Believe me, Uncle Ron loves sex and all of its variants. But as a lab rat???
Okay...so now the other day I read that young men these days are getting prescriptions for Viagra, Cialis, etc., and are taking it recreationally, because they believe it will help them last longer. They are willing to spend upwards of $300 a MONTH to achieve something that, with taking care of yourself in the right way, you can get to at 25-30 years old ANYWAY. What I wonder is: Where in the hell do they get the fucking money to do this every month??? And why in the world do you need to buy it when you are 25 years old??? THIS is where we've evolved to. I swear to you, sometimes I'm embarrassed to be in the company of these idiots.
I would take it all with a grain of salt, in any case. It's NEVER mattered to me how long NEARLY as much as how WELL we can fuck and enjoy each other, ladies. If it's three minutes to bliss, fine. If it's thirty minutes or longer, wonderful. Just tell me what I can do to make it BETTER... not necessarily LONGER. If it takes longer and we want it that way...we'll go the way of the old joke "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?
....practice, practice, practice...."

We all know that youth is wasted on the young!
I think they have this culture where a pill can fix everything... even when it dont need fixing, it will make it better.
Rather than putting in the effort to actually find out how to make it better and enjoying the journey. They just want to get to the destination and stay there for as long as possible.
It's such a shame because they have so much more information than we did at their age and yet they want to do everything on some form of high and dont understand that the best sex can be had stone cold sober as part of a pairing who know what they're doing.
Some interesting figures there. I like what Joanna says about youth being wasted on the young. I surely squandered the best years of my life and struggle to this day to get some of those times back.
I remember in Psych class a while back the professor telling us that intercourse lasted, on average, about two minutes. The class was NOT impressed.
It's actually quite hilarious in retrospect...
Sex is like religion when it comes to science. You can measure and factor in every variable all you want, but in the end, the product on the whole is so much more than the sum of its parts. You can't bisect sex on any one figure to say which is best for the masses... sheesh.
...just my 2 cents...
