Terrific news for men 8212; it8217;s not the time involved but the pleasures imparted. And all the claims about the need for extended hours of sexual activity have been dismissed as a myth.

A survey by researchers at Penn State University in the United States and their colleagues in Canada has concluded that satisfactory sexual intercourse for a couple generally lasts from three to 13 minutes.

According to lead researcher Eric Corty, 8220;A man8217;s or woman8217;s interpretation of his or her sexual functioning as well as the partner8217;s relies on personal beliefs developed in part from society8217;s messages, formal and informal. Unfortunately, today8217;s popular culture has reinforced stereotypes about sexual activity. Many men and women seem to believe the fantasy model of large penises, rock-hard erections and all-night-long intercourse.8221;

8220;Past research has found that a large percentage of men and women, who responded, wanted sex to last 30 minutes or longer. This seems a situation ripe for disappointment and dissatisfaction. With this survey, we hope to dispel such fantasies and encourage men and women with realistic data about acceptable sexual intercourse, thus preventing sexual disappointments and dysfunctions.8221;
