How Long Should Men Last During Sex?

Men have turned to Reddit to spill the juicy details on how long they last during sex before they reach orgasm and... Well, let's just say there were no heroes in the responses. In other words, the dudes on the NSFW thread were surprisingly honest. "Anywhere from 2 minutes to 25 minutes," one user wrote. Another said:  "About a minute or two, usually." Read on below.

How long do you *think* a man should last in the bedroom? Sound off in the comments section. 

User “VincentGrayson.” "I honestly don't know anymore. I'd guess 5-15 minutes. I've been f*cking the same woman for 12 years at this point, and we tend to either orgasm at the same time, or one shortly after the other, and neither of us leave dissatisfied, so I don't really think about it.”

User “makesmecringe.” "Anywhere from 2 minutes to 25 minutes. Average time, honestly, around 5 minutes. Upshot: mastery of fingers and tongue has been achieved.”

User “Crazyeddie123.” "About a minute or two, usually. I make damn sure she's gotten off before I go in, and usually manage to push her over the edge once more during the main event."

User “ReverendDizzle.” “Forever.

I've absolutely never got the cultural jokes about guys not lasting. It wasn't until I was older that I realized I must have some sort of Zen like mastery over my junk because I orgasm when I want to orgasm. Sex can be a super fast quicky before catching the cab to the airport or it can be an all afternoon thing."

User “Dajbman22.” "It really depends. I've gone as long as 20 minutes (it got to the point where my wife was already done and getting a bit sore) to not even making it in before blowing my load. Both extremes are quite rare and seemed to have been tied to alcohol (also within weeks of one another). On average I would say about 10 minutes."

User “bleunt.” "It depends. How long has it been since last time? Who is it with? What is she doing? What am I doing? Is there a condom on?

But on average, around 30 minutes until' my fairly poor stamina tells my body that I will die if I don't stop. Sometimes I don't even finish, because I feel that the energy it will consume might put me in a coma. Yeah, I need to get in shape."

User “cajones32.” "If I am trying to draw it out and take it slow probably 35 minutes or more. Normally about 20-25 minutes If we are having a hardcore behind the dumpster quickie f*ck <5 div="" minutes.="">

User “j1akey.” "It depends on the amount of build-up I get from her, does she really get me going before we start with a lot of foreplay and playing? If yes then not long usually, if no then it could be a while."

User “cali_dave.” "Not sure, actually. The way time passes during sex is a lot like the way time passes when you're drunk. Sometimes I'll look at the clock and go 'holy sh*t, it's been two hours?' Other times it's 'holy sh*t, it's only been five minutes?'

Either way, I never time it."

User “rollswithandywarhol.” "Depends on the foreplay and how long I want to last.

If there is a perfect storm of hotness and foreplay and there is motivation to be quick I can be done pretty much right away. Other times if I'm not even all the way hard before going in I can make that sh*t last longer than anyone wants."

User “Matthersontrizzle.” "Anywhere from 15-40 min. Depends, if it's early morning I will last a minimum 30 min. If I'm drunk I can last as long as I want. For what ever reason while drunk I can just decide to finish. Average night I would say 20 min."

Anonymous. "As long as I want. Quite a lot of the time, I don’t manage to finish unless helped out by a blowjob or handjob after she’s had hers."

User “mercurialdude.” "Anywhere between 5 minutes and over an hour. Depends on a whole lot of variables.

Sex has so much variety I really have no idea how long on average I am inside of her before I cum. Typically the whole experience last around an hour or more though. I like to have a lot of foreplay and tease her until she's begging for it. Then sometimes its a one and done and other nights I will f*ck until I simply cannot anymore due to exhaustion or sensitivity overload."

User “Voodooldol.” "Depends on how much stimulation there was before penetration. If we just had 30 - 45 minutes of foreplay then not very long - at least not for the first nut. The second one... minimum of 30 minutes.

If there is no stimulation of the penis prior to intercourse... as long as she wants me to last. You can control your orgasm through focused breathing and knowing when to slow down or even stop your thrusting. It works better if you can get it under control before you actually have to stop thrusting though."

User “Gregbo24.” "I feel like I have two options. I can either be 5 minutes or 20, no in between. I will usually back off around the first time and wait so it can last longer, but it will depend on the situation."
