Many couples place a lot of importance on the length of time they engage in sexual activity, believing that the longer the duration of sex, the better the quality. However, this is not necessarily an accurate way to measure quality. In general, the average healthy male’s sexual intercourse lasts around 6 minutes, but it’s important to remember that this is not a small amount of time and the most important factor is mutual satisfaction.
1. According to a survey of healthy couples conducted by sexologists, the average time for a healthy man to ejaculate during intercourse is 6 minutes. 76% of men ejaculate within 2 minutes, while 25% last around 10 minutes. Only a very small number of people are capable of having intercourse for more than 30 minutes in a single session. In reality, the duration of intercourse is not very important, and what’s most important is that both partners feel sexually satisfied, which is the hallmark of a perfect sexual experience.
2. In addition, the length of time that a man engages in sexual activity is related to emotional factors, surroundings, age, physical condition, sexual experience, and the level of cooperation between partners. We cannot always blame ourselves for not taking sex seriously and being anxious about it. For example, men often ejaculate quickly during their first sexual encounter or after a long period of time without sex. After a period of adjustment, the duration of intercourse may gradually increase, so there is no need to constantly worry about failure.
3. Of course, from a sexual physiology perspective, there is a normal range of time for each sexual encounter. Generally speaking, it is normal for men to ejaculate after more than 2 minutes of intercourse and roughly 15 contractions, or for women to achieve an orgasm during at least 50% of intercourse opportunities. In your letter, you mentioned lasting between 3 to 4 minutes, which is normal. If your partner’s satisfaction level is low, both partners should work together to improve cooperation.
