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.

I miss an all-nighter with a new love, and sad to say now I'd prefer 3 min tops 😁

How do I delete it and post in best place?

I’m not sure how to delete but I’m sure everyone will work out it’s just a mistake. Copy and paste to the right one?

I actually think men should read this thread because society, tv, movies, social media ect. do give men the impression that in order to please a woman they have to "last" a long time.
I think this comes from the fact that men could come within 2 mins if let, where as most women take abit longer im guessing 10 mins but it would be a useful stat (for men) if woman put out more surveys about time needed..any longer for me and im thinking of anything but sex. It would also be interesting to know how much faking it goes on, iv not actually had an orgasm since about 2010 but when I made the mistake of telling my then husband oh god! that's when the really long sessions started as he thought that going on for longer was the answer, which i guess is what men are thought. My now partner i just told him I come quick , that way he doesn't go on and on.😂

I think you have a good point here, previous partners have had previous partners who took forever and then were confused when I was 'done' within 5 minutes 😆

In my youth, 2 hours would have been short. But after kids, ten minutes is probably all I havr time for and can be bothered with
😂
Does he have kids? If not then that tells you all you need to know. I think once you have kids then sex becomes less appealing becuase its what got you into this situation.

PleaseStopEatingMyStuff · 20/07/2025 18:17

Christ, imagine the friction!!
Id suspect he struggles to orgasum & he's trying to put a positive spin on it.
Probably too much porn.

Bluedenimdoglover · 20/07/2025 18:30

Did you manage to keep a straight face when he said that? I'd have just laughed outright!

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.

I wish the funny emoji was still on spilt my drink and wet myself in two places laughing at this.

Pjbottoms01 · 20/07/2025 21:51

Smells like bitterness and resentment in here😂

Jesus, why do you tolerate that?

Why do I tolerate not having an orgasm? Well until medical science finds an answer its something I just have to "tolerate". Not everything is the man's fault.

This was me, for 30 long years. Post-menopausal now and life is great. To clarify, it was DH demanding the two hours, not me.

Tunnocksmallow · 20/07/2025 23:42

i have sessions that sometimes last 8+ hours.
sex doesn’t necessarily start and end with penetration. There’s everything surrounding it, there’s laying in each others arms, kissing as you talk about anything and everything, stroking each others skin. Long kissing sessions, massaging each others bodies, Foreplay, hopefully giving and receiving, just every that you both like, breaks, laughter, fun, care and happiness.

I like to think that being a mother in my 40’s, with a busy life, and all that comes with it, doesn’t mean that I have to stop being a sexual being and give in that stereotype of ‘not tonight, I have a headache’

and yes, I also love a quickie too.

PurpleAxe · 21/07/2025 00:19

Is he including the nap, a cup of tea and two shags in the 2 hour session?

asrl78 · 21/07/2025 11:48

Having recently entered my first proper sexual relationship I have to say I can't imagine having sex for two hours straight. During this godawful summer weather with stuffy nights, after a few minutes, my partner and myself are dripping in sweat. It might have been easier if we'd have got together in winter! It shouldn't take anywhere near that long to climax so I don't see the need for two hour marathon sessions even if you could, unless the two hours consists of a series of shorter sessions to give the woman multiple orgasms.

ImGoneUnderground · 22/07/2025 00:38

Sure he may be a lovely man, but just trying to' impress' - but ICK springs to mind if he is trying to 'share' this accomplishment...... 🤔

VintageMan · 22/07/2025 12:30

wow, quite a thread and very enlightening. I tend to agree with those who post that most men cannot do piv for that long, unless there are stimulants like viagra at play. We would also get bored with it too and the tip of the penis would get sore, no matter how much lubrication was in place. It feels the duration must include foreplay and afterplay, but in truth after a bit of a sesh - both parties need a rest. The impact of kids means less time, less energy and sometime restricted to mutual masturbation as this can be a bit more discrete and quick. I hope your friend finds a partner that he is compatible with.

I can’t help but think how lucky I am that my DH can get the job done to my full satisfaction within 5 -10 minutes! It may occasionally be a few times a day on holiday but two hours makes me shudder thinking of perineal blisters and cystitis 🫣😭

lilkitten · 22/07/2025 14:27

For me it would depend on is it a shag before sleeping, or more of a planned evening. I generally would do a couple of hours but that is including foreplay, kink etc. Mind you this is because I see my DP when the kids aren't there - kids in the house definitely makes it a quick furtive one for me

This is a classic thing which a certain sort of bloke boasts about to prospective partners, thinking women love it. Most of us don't. No one has time.

I had a boyfriend years ago who would always draw it out for ages and ages and tried to make everything "tantric": pulling back from the brink of orgasm all the time and telling he he wanted to "make it all worth it in the end". It was the biggest cringe. I couldn't be arsed then in my 20s when I was full of hormone-driven passion. I sure as hell wouldn't now, in my early 50s.

Sex is great but turning into a performative exercise in tantric technique takes all the fun out of it.

Absolutely! It just becomes a performance and really you just want to go downstairs and get dinner on 🤣🤣
