Welcome to the board fungirl7.

I voted 20-30 minutes because I think that's in our average range now, but I know that's a high number if I look back over my entire sexual life and all of my partners. DH can last a lot longer now than he ever could in the past, and we both pace ourselves so that intercourse lasts a long time.

I guess we have to learn to slow down a little and take a few breaks or switch positions, because I normally like it hard and fast from start to finish

We do a lot of foreplay(oral, mutual masturbation, toys, watching sex DVD'S) so by the time we are ready for IC we are so hot we both are cumming in less than 3 minutes. Sometimes we have a quickie with less foreplay and IC will last considerably lonnger. At any rate everything is fun and hot.

Your poll is impossible to answer....it's different for everyone, and it's different from time to time with the same person.

From your second post on this thread, it sounds like you're trying to compare yourself with others......and you can't do that. Some guys last two minutes, others last an hour....and the guy that lasts an hour today, can last 5 minutes tomorrow.

If you personally are not satisfied with what you're getting, then you have to talk to your partner to see what if anything can be done about it.

Also, if you're not getting enough foreplay, you can be very dissatisfied if you let him go on to intercourse, and then he finishes, and you're just hanging there. If you make sure you're satisfied during foreplay......it won't matter so much if he's done fast during intercourse.

Don't ever compare yourself to others......your friends, strangers on line, or things you read in books or magazines. You and your partner are uniquely different from everyone else, and you have to work together to find what works for YOU.....and not worry about what works for others.

>>Your poll is impossible to answer....it's different for everyone,<<

I think that the answers are showing that. While it appears that plenty of people only have intercourse for 5 minutes there are people saying that they have it for 30-60 minutes! It just goes to show that it IS different for everyone.

Just as a note to the OP, I don't think that the duration of the intercourse matters if you can roll over at the end of it all and think to yourself "Wow. That was great sex."

As an example that's fresh in my mind, my wife and I had great sex yesterday - teased each other with text messages all day, flirted during the evening, she teased me as we watched some TV early evening, by the time we had showered and gotten to the bedroom and she'd slipped into something sexy, and put a steamy DVD on we were getting pretty wound up. After she'd had her first *three* orgasms from oral and toys, and brought me to the edge a couple of times with oral, the intercourse lasted about two minutes before we both came!

If you had told someone that sex last night lasted two minutes and hadn't mentioned the details then it sounds rather unexciting and unsatisfying. However I can happily say that we were both very satisfied. Sometimes it ain't how long you do it, it's how you do it :-) Measuring the time of intercourse isn't always a terribly accurate indication of the satisfaction scale.

in my limited experience, intercourse only generally was 5-8 minutes.

The entire session is considerably different. sex with my ex in the beginning was a 2 hour thing. towards the end, it was wham bam thank you ma'am.

Before her the girl I was with, the sex was a few minutes but the oral went for an hour between the 2 of us.

You know I can usually go well over 30 minutes inside her. She loves it. I love it. The catch though is a lot of times she startes to get swollen.

Total love making though, including foreplay can typically last a good 90 minutes or so. Sometimes more.

We did have a 2 1/2 hour marathon once. That was flipping unbelievable.

You know this depends if its the first or second attempt of the night. The first effort might last anywhere from 4-30 minutes but the second can last from 30 mins to an hour or so. Good times!

I found it impossible to select an answer. As others have said, there are so many variations from one encounter to another. Recently I feel like my libido has gone into overdrive. I find that I'm thinking about being with my dh all day, so by the time evening rolls around I almost want to skip foreplay altogether. One night we spent almost our entire time together with IC, while another we played/explored a little more and enjoyed each other with less IC.
