First off get your head out of the gutter I am talking about length of time for having sex. I was reading some other threads and noticed a lot of women saying after awhile they just want it to be over b/c it starts to hurt. So how long should the experience last?

i don't think there is an objectively right time.

it depends on how long each partner is satisfied for.

this is why 5 minute quickies and 3 hour sessions can equally be fun.

Speaking as a woman, it's not the sexual experience that becomes boring and painful. It's the unending sawing back and forth waiting for the man to "do his thing" that becomes painful and boring. Sometimes when a man has had too much to drink or is on certain meds it seems to take forever and that's when it becomes painful and boring for the woman.

The way you phrase your question is interesting though in that it sounds like to you, sex = the actual act of intercourse, and I think a lot of men think that way, but the actual sexual experience for a woman also includes a lot of foreplay, which for many women is just as exciting if not more exciting than the actual act of intercourse in and of itself.

A lot of men feel this way too. The question needs to be clarified. Does it include foreplay?

My wife doesn't enjoy long sessions so I try to keep them under 12 min.

I couldn't vote b/c it's relative. I've had sex for 20 hours b4 (with a 3 hr nap in the middle), there is also been times where 10-30 minutes was too long (see men faking it thread.)

Uh, generally when my legs start shaking uncontrollably or I black out for more than a few seconds at a time, it's time to take a break. That generally happens at about two hours. After a break for juice or something else sugary, I'm good to go for a good while longer. (hypoglycemia is no fun)

The longest I've gone straight was 8 hours, and yeah, by the end of that I was ready to die. I could have kept going, if all my muscles hadn't given out.

Two hours is about norm for me though.

Sorry, I should have made myself clear. I'm not including foreplay. I'm talking about intercourse only. Not foreplay, cuddling after, or multiple sessions. Just 1 session defined as going until the guy releases his rocket sauce (or you tell him to get off of you )
