McCarthy says you can slow things down by honing your technique through what he calls "nonintercourse sex" (what the rest of us call "jerking off"). You also might want to try switching positions and varying the speed and pattern of your thrusts, and then you might attain the required 18-minute minimum no legitimately normal person ever fails to meet.
Yes, it does seem as if
everyone at the all-boys high school and the methadone clinic is
complaining of little else. I know what you're thinking: If only we had
the perceptions of 34 Canadian and American sex therapists on this.
Well, now we do.
According to the new study
"Canadian and American Sex Therapists' Perceptions of Normal and
Abnormal Ejaculatory Latencies: How Long Should Intercourse Last?"
adequate coitus lasts anywhere from three to seven minutes, not
including the Pledge of Allegiance. This data, from all the normal
people who see therapists for sexual problems, corresponds closely to
earlier studies, which put the average at five to seven minutes. (We can
safely blame the two-minute discrepancy on the Canadians.)
"Very few people have intercourse per se [Latin for by thrust]
that goes longer than 12 minutes," says sex therapist Barry W.
McCarthy. Essentially, ejaculatory inhibition, which is also called
"delayed orgasm" or "junkie orgasm," has less to do with actual time
than an inability to ejaculate when you'd like. And premature
ejaculation, which is also called "rapid ejaculation" or "your
ejaculation," refers to intercourse that lasts less than a minute or
two.
