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.

Is he including the seductive dinner beforehand?😶

Otherwise Id wager his partner has sore bits.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

LlynTegid · 18/07/2025 16:37

Single man needs a new watch or clock.

Apillthatmakesyousayalltherightstuff · 18/07/2025 16:38

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."

OfcourseitsaNC · 18/07/2025 16:39

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!

BlackStrayCat · 18/07/2025 16:39

Wait until they need viagra.

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

So depressing.

ohfook · 18/07/2025 16:41

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.

MrsSunshine2b · 18/07/2025 16:43

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

Vroomfondleswaistcoat · 18/07/2025 16:45

MyWarmOchreHare · 18/07/2025 15:43

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?

NeverTrustTheScales · 18/07/2025 16:56

Is he a virgin?

MsJemimaPuddleDuck · 18/07/2025 16:57

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

Trust me you wouldnt. 😂

LemondrizzleShark · 18/07/2025 17:00

If he is single and sex is an infrequent occurrence for him, I can see why you would want to shag all night when you have the opportunity. Once you are in a relationship and can have sex whenever you want to, there’s no need to do that - you can go to sleep and have sex again the next morning.

Same. But if I had children or lived with the man? Likely, it would be different.

User838960 · 18/07/2025 17:05

I had that after a bumble first date and I walked away thinking 'No, this is not your man'. Absolutely no chance I would want to partner up with someone who lasts that long. Nothing wrong with a nice quickie to keep the spark alive and the sessions more frequent! 10-15 mins tops!

JustPinkFinch · 18/07/2025 17:06

Do the right thing OP, put his photo up on this thread so all the online dating ladies can avoid him.

KawasakiBabe · 18/07/2025 17:13

A once in a while thing, maybe. But every time?
I’d be reading my book over his shoulder!!

doodleschnoodle · 18/07/2025 15:04

The chafing! Also I have a lot of other stuff to get done, I’m not wasting two hours of my time so someone can pump away relentlessly. 20 mins with an orgasm is fine for me.

Ooh! Haven’t heard “chafing” for ages!😁

Lovely descriptive word too!

Totally agree with this post… I’d be bored and sore, and my attention span would run out long before 2 hours.

Id be wanting to get the washing out, see what the bloody dog was up to, and start planning what’s for dinner.

Sounds like bravado, bullshit or someone with very little true experience.
