To think a two hour sesh sounds hellish?

Just been away for a weekend with a male friend. During one conversation we got on about sex somehow, and he said he thought anything less than a two hour session is a waste of time.

Good for him I suppose, but AIBU to think the majority of people would find this far too long and start planning their dinner?

Before anyone says he’s trying to impress me or get me into bed, he’s not.

My ex I’m pretty sure had given himself death grip and could keep going for ages. It’s definitely not all it’s cracked up to be!! If I had to choose I’d choose someone who came too quickly than could go on for hours.

Trust me you wouldnt. 😂

MsJemimaPuddleDuck · 18/07/2025 16:57

Sounds great, im lucky if i get more than a minute these days 😒🙈

Is he a virgin?

To be fair, he doesn’t have any of these things.

But I honestly don’t understand how they both don’t get bored.

Decorative ceiling. Got to be. on her side anyway. On his... who knows? Perhaps he counts the creases in the bedding?

MrsSunshine2b · 18/07/2025 16:43

Honestly 2 hours sounds really boring, I've got better things to do.

xFWB and I often spent lazy Sunday mornings in bed until about 3pm. We'd wake up about 8am. An hour or 2 being into each other. One of us would go sort breakfast and drinks. Watch a film in bed. Get going again as it ended for another hour or so. Nap. Go again. I remember a few times we showered around 6pm and went out for dinner.

My children are adults. He's child free, so we had time and space.

Very fond memories of those times. They were fabulous!

Wait until they need viagra.

Hoursn and hours and they feel like heros, menwhile thinking desperately of their secret onlyfans account.

So depressing.

This reminds me of a barman in Ibiza many years ago, trying to tempt my girlfriend and me.

"Three, four hours, no flop. Is true."

Single man needs a new watch or clock.

MightyGoldBear · 18/07/2025 16:22

We can often get to two hours and that surprised me (ive never timed it before so asumed it was a lot less) it's mostly me though once I start having orgasms I just can't get enough. There is no way my husband could do 2 hours straight penetrative sex though. That's not something either of us would enjoy.

Goditsmemargaret · 18/07/2025 16:21

C'mon he's single! His next shag isn't guaranteed which makes it all the more exciting, it's all about lust with no relationship pressures. I was definitely like that during my colourful casual sex years. I feel bad for DH, he seems to only get the mundane side of things.

Im over 60 live alone and I have sex weekly with my fwb. We spend way more than two hours usually, but we break for a drink, or a snack and then carry on. And perhaps go again next morning but in a slightly more vanilla fashion, but a hour and a half at least even for that!

But very little of it is PIV, we like kink and use toys, ropes, cuffs, lots of oral, talking and aftercare. So whilst I agree he’s probably single with no kids, I am not horrified by the idea. It sounds par for the course for my sex life.

If however we were married with two young children it would be twice a month for as long as us both to have an orgasm then roll over and go to sleep (sometimes not even bothering about the orgasm bit!). I remember those days well- sex was a long way down the agenda.

Woah! How the other half live! Sounds like a day at the rodeo.

I actually get squeamish about scheduling it... it'd turn me off.

MyCyanReader · 18/07/2025 16:16

That 2 hours would need to include 1h45 of sleeping.

I wouldn't want sex with someone that inefficient.

Jeregrettetous · 18/07/2025 16:13

Just would like to say that this is the most reassuring thread I’ve read on MN since DC1 was a newborn. She’s 14 😂

2 hours? Bore off.

KellySeveride · 18/07/2025 16:11

im also of the variety that bloody loves it if he’s so turned on he comes quickly. Give me 2 or 3 quickies a week with the odd long sesh once a month (and by long sesh I mean 40 minutes or so 🤣). I would have long since had enough by two hours!

Is he including the seductive dinner beforehand?😶

Otherwise Id wager his partner has sore bits.

Petesdragoness · 18/07/2025 16:01

If it's done we'll, it's done in 10 minutes. He needs to know that's not a brag 🤣

Mimosa3andmore · 18/07/2025 15:59

In my early 20s I had a guy that was trying to get me into bed confirm that he always provided at least half an hour of foreplay and he kept an eye on the clock to make sure. I gracefully declined his offer 😂

Kingsleadhat · 18/07/2025 15:59

Reminds me of the joke about Tantric sex. Did you know there's a position called the plumber? It's called that because you wait all morning and no one comes

I've lost track of the number of blokes who've 'casually mentioned' to me that they like sex to last for 'over an hour'. I can't think of anything more boring, apart from football. Or someone describing the symptoms of their sore knee. But sex - nowadays I'd rather clean the oven, to be honest.

I’ve got arthritic knees and I love football. Fancy a chat? I won’t bang on about marathon sex though. Promise.

BreakingBroken · 18/07/2025 15:58

I’d assume erectile dysfunction, doing the deed is not a 2hr task.
Cuddling in bed, chatting about holidays or childhood is fine.

Ddakji · 18/07/2025 15:05

Sounds like someone who’s spent too much time wanking to online porn and now it takes him ages to finish off, and never mind how bored or sore his partner’s getting.

Agreed 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

My favourite lover taught me to bring the best snacks and wine that money could buy. Feast, feast then feast some more.
