Intercourse preferences - size, stamina or other?



  • Large penis and 5 minute sex
  • 5-6inch penis and 20-30 minute sex
  • neither size or stamina is important, I just love sex with my partner
  • I want both size AND stamina
  • Foreplay is more important and intercourse is the icing on the cake
  • I'm so tired after foreplay that quick intercourse is my preference
  • Other (please explain)


You will be able to change your vote.

>> This is even more true of very attractive men, so your approach is very wise.<<

My mother always said she never liked men who were a 10, she said you were always both in love with the same person.

As important as looks are to men, I would think most men would go for the 10 if they thought they had an inkling of a chance with her! But it's the intimidation factor that keeps them away, not the fear of her being high maintanence, etc., IMO.

Men love eye candy.

Question about the size issue as shown in the poll...

There is a "large" penis choice and a "5-6"" penis choice. Does that mean the pollster was using 5-6" as an example of a small penis?

The average (standard) penis size is 5"-5.5" That's average, not small. It's perfectly adequate to satisfy most women. So technically, anything 6" or more is "large" or above average in size, right? What does the pollster consider large?

This poll was a spin-off of a question I asked about whether women would prefer :

a 5"-6" penis and intercourse for 20-30 minutes

OR

or a 7" - 9" penis and 5 minutes

Yasmin wanted to expand the possibilities and try to get at different aspects. She didn't specify what "large" meant, but I think she had 7"-9" in mind. The 5" -6" number was intended to represent "average", not small.

In retrospect and after reading the replies, I wish I had used "15 mins" instead of 20-30 minutes in my original question, since it seems that is adequate for most women (whereas 5 mins may not be). 20 -30 minutes might be too much time for a lot of women. I've read books that recommend that MEN let their erections subside somewhat every 20 minutes in order to circulate the blood.

Taoist. Yesterday morning I wrote a long post to your thread, and when I went to post it, the thread was gone! Poof! It's really disheartening when posts are constantly being deleted from the board.

I won't write another, but I just wanted to say that I never orgasmed during intercourse until my DH learned to last longer than five minutes. I love and enjoy intercourse as much as any other stimuli, and was thrilled once my DH calmed down long enough to last. Take care.

"20 -30 minutes might be too much time for a lot of women."

Seriously, you think so? From your experience or comments from women? I'm surprised to hear that.

Except for the occasional quickie (out of necessity and time, and just for fun) or the exhausted late night "we're horny but too tired for a marathon" times, 20-30 minutes is just getting warmed up for me and DH. We sometimes go for 2 hours and more, and it's wonderful.

I was talking about actual time engaged in thrusting during intercourse. Of course , most spend a lot more time on foreplay, oral, digital, etc. The 3-5 minutes mentioned was also this. It is almost always preceded by a lot of foreplay, and most women prefer at least one orgasm from oral or digital first.

In our case DF requires little foreplay and can always have her first orgasm in under 5 minutes. I'm the one who takes about 10-20 minutes and we do a variety of positions and she has multiple orgasms while I'm getting to mine.

That's the way it is for me and DH, just the way you described.
