Hello there, Modern Man. I'm Dr Anne Truong. I'm a sexual health

specialist, medical doctor for 25 years, who treated over 7000

men. In today's episode, we're going to talk about most common

question any man or woman will ask, how long does sex usually

last? Everybody has an opinion about this, so I'm just going to

show you what is in the research, and then you can make

your opinion from there. So this is not anything that is

concrete. This is individualized. This is just

something to start conversation with.

Study consistently show that the duration of penetrative vaginal

intercourse varies widely, but most research point to an

average range of 3 to 7 minutes per session. This figure is

based on the time from vaginal penetration to ejaculation,

often referred to as intravaginal ejaculation latency

time or IELT, that is the only the time it doesn't account for

foreplay, doesn't account for anything else. So what's

considered adequate or normal? 3 to 7 minutes. Too short, 1 to 2

minutes. Desirable, 7 to 13 minutes too long, maybe 10 to 30

minutes, because it may cause some discomfort for some. Now,

these categories come from a survey of sex therapists and

studies involving hundreds of couple using stopwatch to time

intercourse. And the range is broad, some session lasting as

little as 33 seconds to other lasting 44 minutes, but on

average, remains about 5 to 7 minutes.

Now I want to say that there are multiple factors affecting

duration. Number one, definition of sex. Most studies only

measure penile, vagina, intercourse, foreplay, oral sex

or other activities are not included in the averages. Number

two, individual and couple variability, such as age, health

status, relationship status and personal preferences all play a

role in how long sex last and what is considered satisfied.

Number three, partner satisfaction. Satisfaction is

not strictly linked to duration. Some partner may prefer shorter

or longer sessions, and communication about preferences

is really key.

Okay, Modern Man, you are not alone and you don't have to

suffer anymore. ED can feel isolating, frustrating, and even

defeating. The endless guessing, the quiet shame, the weight of

not feeling like yourself is exhausting. But here's the

truth, you are not broken. You are not alone. You don't have to

figure this out alone anymore. The Get Wood Now Boost Program

is your step by step, path to sexual confidence and

restoration. No more suffering in silence, no more trial and

error, just real solution, real result and the confidence you

deserve. It's time to take back your power on your term. Let's

Now, let's talk about foreplay and total sexual experience.

When including foreplay and other sexual activity, the total

duration of a sexual encounter can range from 20 to 60 minutes

or more, depending on the couple. However, the actual time

spent in penetrative intercourse remain much shorter, like I

discussed before.

So in reality, the key takeaway is this, there is no single

normal duration for sex. Let me say that again, no single normal

duration for sex. Most penetrative vaginal intercourse

lasts about 3 to 7 minutes, and note, but satisfaction depends

on individual and partner preferences, not the clock. So I

just wanted to present that, because it's the most common

question people ask, and it's kind of like those questions you

want to ask when you're embarrassed to ask. Well, I kind

of state the fact and the research, but there is a wide

range of variability that I want to stress again, there is no

single normal duration for sex. No judgment here. Everyone is

individualized. So the duration of sex does not mean

satisfaction in any sense of the word.

So I hope you find this interesting and good

conversation, and everybody has an opinion on this. So let me

know what your thoughts are. I just wanted to have an open
