    The long and short of sex

    I just read an article about mapping of the longest and shortest duration of sex by state.
    Ranking number one is New Mexico with 7 minutes and 1 second. Ranking number fifty-one is Alaska with 1 minute and 21 seconds. I live in California where the ranking is number thirty-two with 2 minutes and 38 seconds. If you are interested, Google "longest and shortest duration of sex" for the article.

    When I have sex my #1 priority is to please my husband, #2 priority is to get it over with as fast as possible. I wonder if I can get my husband to move to Alaska?

    Seriously, seven minutes is the longest duration of sex recorded in the USA? I must be an anomaly!

      Those are averages and the time does not include foreplay. It gives new meaning to red state, blue state.

        How exactly did they collect the data? I know the NSA has cameras everywhere, but really.....

            I watch the clock during sex and ring her bell at the top of every minute!

              The article cited by chaya tells that there is an app for a phone that does the data collection and transmission. It's all in the article.

                  I'm intrigued by what you said. If you don't mind I ask, does your husband work on pleasing you? Do you orgasm? Cause if you don't then I understand, but if you do and still won't like to have longer session (which assumingly leads to more pleasure), then I really learn something today.

                  In fact, some studies show that many married women prefer having a pet over having sex.

                  And chaya, it's funny you post this news. The other day I told my wife this news just for the purpose of entertainment, she looked at me like I was a horny scumbag--she's quite conservative and doesn't like any topic related to sex. Later that night before we were about to get intimate, she told me she actually just needs one orgasm for each time we have sex. I've been working quite hard to help her get more, to my surprise she really doesn't want more than one. I'm happy to oblige though.

                    I thought about participating briefly, but I think we'd radically skew the data.
