There’s this expectation among many people that sex should last a very long time. And ... experts ... say ‘You know what? Three to thirteen minutes is kind of the normal range’ ... .
One takeaway message is that probably men can relax a little bit about their sexual performance; that they’re probably in the normal range, or what sex therapists think is normal ... .
If you look up the word ‘intercourse’ in the dictionary, communication is the first definition. So sexual intercourse is really sexual communication. It’s about being intimate with a partner, being present with your partner, and sharing something important, something passionate ... and ... worrying about how you’re performing detracts from that.
