This podcast is for you, the Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong,
Speaker:your host. I'm an intimate health medical doctor and best
Speaker:selling author of the book, Erectile Dysfunction Fix. I'll
Speaker:do a deep dive into sexual health and performance and how
Speaker:it affects men of all ages and backgrounds. So let's get
Speaker:started, and be sure to visit my website at
Speaker:sexualhealthformenpodcast.com for more information and
Speaker:resources from the show. See you on the inside.
Speaker:Hello there, Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong. I'm a sexual health
Speaker:specialist, medical doctor for 25 years, who treated over 7000
Speaker:men. In today's episode, we're going to talk about most common
Speaker:question any man or woman will ask, how long does sex usually
Speaker:last? Everybody has an opinion about this, so I'm just going to
Speaker:show you what is in the research, and then you can make
Speaker:your opinion from there. So this is not anything that is
Speaker:concrete. This is individualized. This is just
Speaker:something to start conversation with.
Speaker:Study consistently show that the duration of penetrative vaginal
Speaker:intercourse varies widely, but most research point to an
Speaker:average range of 3 to 7 minutes per session. This figure is
Speaker:based on the time from vaginal penetration to ejaculation,
Speaker:often referred to as intravaginal ejaculation latency
Speaker:time or IELT, that is the only the time it doesn't account for
Speaker:foreplay, doesn't account for anything else. So what's
Speaker:considered adequate or normal? 3 to 7 minutes. Too short, 1 to 2
Speaker:minutes. Desirable, 7 to 13 minutes too long, maybe 10 to 30
Speaker:minutes, because it may cause some discomfort for some. Now,
Speaker:these categories come from a survey of sex therapists and
Speaker:studies involving hundreds of couple using stopwatch to time
Speaker:intercourse. And the range is broad, some session lasting as
Speaker:little as 33 seconds to other lasting 44 minutes, but on
Speaker:average, remains about 5 to 7 minutes.
Speaker:Now I want to say that there are multiple factors affecting
Speaker:duration. Number one, definition of sex. Most studies only
Speaker:measure penile, vagina, intercourse, foreplay, oral sex
Speaker:or other activities are not included in the averages. Number
Speaker:two, individual and couple variability, such as age, health
Speaker:status, relationship status and personal preferences all play a
Speaker:role in how long sex last and what is considered satisfied.
Speaker:Number three, partner satisfaction. Satisfaction is
Speaker:not strictly linked to duration. Some partner may prefer shorter
Speaker:or longer sessions, and communication about preferences
Speaker:is really key.
Speaker:Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and you don't have to
Speaker:suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating, and even
Speaker:defeating. The endless guessing, the quiet shame, the weight of
Speaker:not feeling like yourself is exhausting. But here's the
Speaker:truth, you are not broken. You are not alone. You don't have to
Speaker:figure this out alone anymore. The Get Wood Now Boost Program
Speaker:is your step by step, path to sexual confidence and
Speaker:restoration. No more suffering in silence, no more trial and
Speaker:error, just real solution, real result and the confidence you
Speaker:deserve. It's time to take back your power on your term. Let's
Speaker:get this journey started together. Check out the course
Speaker:at getwoodnow.com. I'll see you there.
Speaker:Now, let's talk about foreplay and total sexual experience.
Speaker:When including foreplay and other sexual activity, the total
Speaker:duration of a sexual encounter can range from 20 to 60 minutes
Speaker:or more, depending on the couple. However, the actual time
Speaker:spent in penetrative intercourse remain much shorter, like I
Speaker:discussed before.
Speaker:So in reality, the key takeaway is this, there is no single
Speaker:normal duration for sex. Let me say that again, no single normal
Speaker:duration for sex. Most penetrative vaginal intercourse
Speaker:lasts about 3 to 7 minutes, and note, but satisfaction depends
Speaker:on individual and partner preferences, not the clock. So I
Speaker:just wanted to present that, because it's the most common
Speaker:question people ask, and it's kind of like those questions you
Speaker:want to ask when you're embarrassed to ask. Well, I kind
Speaker:of state the fact and the research, but there is a wide
Speaker:range of variability that I want to stress again, there is no
Speaker:single normal duration for sex. No judgment here. Everyone is
Speaker:individualized. So the duration of sex does not mean
Speaker:satisfaction in any sense of the word.
Speaker:So I hope you find this interesting and good
Speaker:conversation, and everybody has an opinion on this. So let me
Speaker:know what your thoughts are. I just wanted to have an open
Speaker:conversation and just know that you can have sexual longevity.
