Duration of sexual intercourse is often the subject of discussion and good ridicule among couples. However, this question is usually individual, which cannot be said about erectile dysfunction, when a man is not able to achieve the desired hardness of the genital organ.
What is ‘Normal’ Duration of an Erection?
According to studies, the average time to achieve an erection is from 3 to 8 seconds, and the duration of intercourse varies depending on individual characteristics.
According to The Daily Mail, with reference to scientists at the University of Queensland who investigated the duration of sexual intercourse, the figures are not impressive. On average, the duration of sex is 5 minutes. It has been revealed that sexual intercourse can last from 33 seconds to 44 minutes, but on average it is 5 minutes. Typically, a duration of less than 1-2 minutes is considered a sexual disorder (premature ejaculation), a condition which requires treatment with special drugs.
Also interesting are the facts regarding the maximum duration of an erection in men. In the age group of 20 to 25 years, this time period can reach 55 minutes, but begins to decrease with age.
