Honey Can You Spare 3 Minutes?
You don’t hear a lot of men bragging about lasting “all night” anymore. Maybe that’s an unanticipated benefit of Viagra: such boasting would lead to speculation that a man had pecker problems only a pharmaceutical could cure. And, really, how many men want to admit to such a thing?
Besides, if a recent survey is to be believed, lasting all night long isn’t even necessary.
A survey of sex therapists concluded the optimal amount of time for sexual intercourse was 3 to 13 minutes. The findings, to be published in the May issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, strike at the notion that endurance is the key to a great sex life.
The researchers hope this will ease the minds of folks who, for whatever reason, are curious how their sex lives stack up against everyone else’s. So just remember, guys: the goal is to last longer than the commercial break. Do it, and she just might get your beer for you when it’s done.

Too much of a good thing tends to chafe.

There’s much to be said for the process of developing “calluses”, though.
LOL @ Margi.
I’d imagine it depends an awful lot on the tv show in question, don’t you think?

This sounds like reverse psychology to me. Suddenly, now, women will be “expecting” and “encouraging” a man to finish quickly, giving the man performance anxiety that makes it impossible for him to do so.
Well played, ladies, well played!

Not enough of a good thing tends to chafe in a different way entirely.

Aye. Indeed, Charles. Having been on both sides of that uh, equation, I must say that the former is preferable. Heh.

Why do people always seem surprised when I say snarky things like that? Isn’t the “Venomous” part sufficient warning???

Am I the only one that thinks the pause button on the DVR is a godsend? That’s how you get a commercial break whenever you WANT one.

I have to constantly remind VH that there IS a pause button and that he CAN use it.

A more broad approach may be necessary here, since a less than scientific survey indicates that about 15 minutes of romantic attention is required to achieve domestic tranquility. (While intercourse is nice, survey says, it’s neither the majority or even a required element of that 15 minutes.)
I don’t know how many time I’ve told those boys, never call chicks broads.

Brian, I thought he was referring to my ass. Glad you saved him.

Fifteen minutes of actual, two-way conversation about something other than children, chores, work or finances is one of the best forms of foreplay EVER.
Unfortunately, it’s apparently far more difficult than it sounds.

While I’m more than willing (and damn interested and relieved) to have 15 minutes of conversation (seems a bit short in fact) it rarely produces the same effect in me.
Though I’ll add that NOTHING BUT NOTHING is as much of a turn on as turning someone on.
So perhaps it’s a problem that solves itself.
Dunno, have to find a girl I can have a 15 minute conversation with.
/heads off to do field research.
Note I didn’t say that the difficulties were entirely one-sided.

“For turgid events lasting 4 hours or longer, see your doctor immediately.” … err wrong “study”. Well, guess with the “new guidelines” this need no longer be a concern, as 3-13 minutes hardly *nudge nudge wink wink* falls into that category. Wonder if they will be forthcoming *re-nudge* re-wink* with new guidelines IRT foreplay? (as it was considered outside of the 3-13 minute envelope)
