Optimal Duration of Sexual Intercourse: Up to 10 Minutes

How long should sexual intercourse last? It is believed that intimate closeness should be enjoyed for 10 minutes. Quite often, ejaculation in men occurs 2–3 minutes after the start of intercourse. This time is too short to satisfy both partners. Sex lasting 12 minutes or more is too exhausting. Therefore, the optimal duration of sexual intercourse is 7–10 minutes. In this case, the intimate connection will bring pleasure to the partners but won't excessively tire them.
