How long does sex actually last?

People are curious about what goes on in other people’s bedrooms, mainly because they want to know how it compares to what’s going on in their own.

People are curious about what goes on in other people’s bedrooms, mainly because they want to know how it compares to what’s going on in their own.

Glamour took a stab at answering this last question, surveying 1,000 young women to see how long foreplay and sex usually last for them.

The majority of women surveyed said they spent 5 to 9 minutes on foreplay and 10 to 14 minutes on sex, the Huffington Post reported.

A 2012 study found that an average woman’s ideal day consists of 106 minutes of sexual intimacy -- significantly more than what Glamour found is the average in reality.
