‘Most destructive belief people have about sex’

Asked about ‘the most destructive belief people have about sex’ in India, Dr Jain said, “That we can have sex non-stop for 30 minutes like we see in porn videos. All the penises you see in porn videos are injected with papaverine. If you do the same thing, it will be erected for 1 hour or two hour... there are also those 'extra time condoms' and the lubricant in them contains numbing agents. They are making your organ go numb and therefore giving you extra time.”

What is average time for good sex?

Further asked 'what is average time for good sex', Dr Jain added, “At least 15 to 20 minutes of penetrative sex for around 40 to 50 strokes. It is put in three categories – foreplay, roleplay and rounds.”
