True dat! except for the 3-13 minute part. I'm like an Enegizer bunny, I keep going and going and going....

uhh...yeah...
and 2 minutes is too short, but 3 is ok? What about 2:59 seconds? 2:48?

First there is a mandatory 3 position minimum and that will take at least 15 mins to perform. My last g/f would have killed me if I busted a nut in under 10mins and I would have had to kill myself as well. It is not that hard to learn control.
To bad Twerp is married. I'd bring my tow-head on over :-)

Hell, my morning and afternoon breaks at work are 15 minutes...hmmm.

3 to 13 minutes. Can they be serious? That would seem like a quicky to me. If 3 to 13 minutes is all it takes I dont know why married women don't just shut up and give it up more often. I have so many married friends complaining that they aren't interested in sex anymore and they turn their husbands down all the time...Christ if it takes less than 15 minutes who cares if you're interested or not.
Tantric Sex is what they should be promoting. But then again we're talking about "therapy" again...these "findings" will be radically changed within the next 10 yrs.

I usually 'shoot' for 45 minutes.

SEX SHOULD BE LONGER THAN 1 OR 2 MINUTES.

Another reason that porn and a fleshlight is better.

Swarthy, I feel skeeved by out that I know what you're talking about at all.

a Mildo!

ST you must be joking. I'll take a real woman and porn and you can keep your fleshlight. I can't go into details but some plastic and lube cannot replace a womans sweet, sweet...
Ok, Enough typing now.

They did mention that the 3-13 minutes did NOT include foreplay time. THAT should go on for hours ;-). Can you say "Multiple Big O's!"?

So, now we need to know how long masturbation should last. Because if someone doesn't tell us, how will ever get it right?

Creating feeling of sexual inadequacy is one of the most powerful weapons advertising has against us.

Swarthy Troll-
You just made the most profound remark I've ever seen you make, and I agree with you 100% for the first time ever.
Posted by: vksjk | Apr 3, 2008 9:03:50 AM
ST, I think you can break it down even further: Advertising is about fear. Fear you're not good enough, fear for your health, fear of unexpected future complications, etc...
Posted by: Sean, Torrington CT | Apr 3, 2008 9:09:38 AM
Yikes. I agre with the Troll too. That always terrifies me... but he's completely correct.

Sean-
Advertising tweaks you where you're vulnerable: balding men, overweight women, etc. etc.

The time does not count foreplay....So why did they include the part where she's yapping and complaining and not paying attention? DId they include the part when your on top of your wife and you think you're doing fine she leans over to see the funny thing on Leno? HUH HUH
Sorry people. My wife is pregnent (due in July). The above comments are ALL true! AND they're well before the pregnancy AND most of all while we were trying for the baby. My hand is well moisturized thank you.
3-13 minutes of dirty talk sounds good to me right now also!

Elroy your wife does have a mouth and there is nothing wrong with having intercourse while your wife is pregnent. That is how babies get that dent in the top of their heads.
Maybe you should borrow ST's fleshlight and porn collection Elroy.

The participants in this study must have either really numb or really sensitive parts.

IS THIS A NEW RECORD FOR A QUICKIE?
Posted by: ULTRA | Apr 3, 2008 9:56:15 AM
Elroy...TURN OFF THE DAMN TV. There is NO reason a TV should be on during sex...maybe a sterio with some Barry White or something...but move that TV! TAG is correct about pregnancy and sex. I was horny the entire time I was pregnant. My ex and I had some great sex during those 9 mos!
TAG...you're getting yourself all worked up.
ST...I also agree with you completely.
Posted by: Cherie | Apr 3, 2008 9:57:32 AM
Cherie - I agree on the great sex during pregnancy, and it's even better when Mom is lactating. But that's not addressed in the story.....
