There are so many controversies surrounding intercourse and that is what I want to clarify in this article. The duration of intercourse can vary greatly, depending on preference and other factors (such as what a person considers intercourse to be). That is why your own personal opinion greatly matters a lot here.
It is very important you know that people define intercourse differently. One person might only consider it to start with the beginning of the entire process until peak while others might not see it that way. Evidence of how long it tends to last is difficult to obtain, even anecdotally. That is why research has been done to uncover the real fact.
There is a little research into how long intercourse should last and it can be influenced by many factors. Research has shown that the average time is 5.4 minutes. Other research has also shown that:
. Lasting under 3 minutes warrants clinical concern.
. Lasting 3–7 minutes is “adequate”
. Lasting 7–13 minutes is “desirable”
. Lasting 10–30 minutes is “too long”
