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.

Just tell him if it takes that long he's doing it wrong!

Sub2Mumma · 18/07/2025 21:37

NC for this!! In my younger care free days 90min probably my max and that was a full kink scene not just ‘banging’ the whole time, If you included aftercare it would probably be 2+hrs. Can’t actually recall the last time we DTD since DD arrived with us even a quickie 🤪

Nah.
he knows what I like, I know what he likes.
get in, get out.

Not sure how you get to that conclusion.

Because surely you'd be thinking an hour and half in it's either time to put the washing in, or you would be interrupted by the little song the washing machine does to say it's time to put it out. Priorities!

MyWarmOchreHare · 18/07/2025 21:31

Just don’t do it then there won’t be any issue.

To be fair here - you are the one that started a thread about your mate’s sex life!

MyWarmOchreHare · 18/07/2025 21:22

He is a real person. No need to make stuff up about him.

TBH id rather have stuff made up about me than a thread online reporting something relatively private that I actually said ...

Yeah and he knows I am. He thinks it’s totally normal and I said I was off to gage opinions on Mumsnet. I’m not sure what’s difficult to comprehend about him definitely not saying it to try to impress or pull me.

But you don’t have the washing machine on 24/7 and you wouldn’t need to get it out immediately 😂

Everyone is now very defensive of the same anonymous man.

A friend at uni used to talk about how her boyfriend would go on for 3 hours and I used to think "boring and sore"!
Even if we were having a very full on, no kids at home for the day, no work to do, session, we'd be done after an hour if not well before that.

Weekmindedfool · 18/07/2025 22:07

I was like this when I was at uni could easily spend an hour how going at it but even then there would be gaps in between to recover

Agree. We don’t have kids. I’ve never timed it but I reckon it doesn’t last more than half an hour. Foreplay, couple of orgasms, penetration, done. Sleep or a nice breakfast and chat

Would he be, er, rising to the challenge again each time or was it breaks during the first bout?

Yes each time

simsbustinoutmimi · 18/07/2025 22:09

My partner lasts around that time and I prefer quickies

VikingLady · 18/07/2025 22:10

It would be reasonable for kink, if each session was a scene. That takes time, especially with aftercare.

amicisimma · 18/07/2025 22:12

Bill Bryson remarked in one of his books that he had come to view sex as an opportunity for a lie down.

Sometimes that becomes less a funny comment and more a statement of fact.

AnotherNamechangeForObviousReasons · 18/07/2025 22:16

We have sessions that last a lot longer than 2 hours. Not every time of course, and not as often as we used to (both middle aged now).

whynotmereally · 18/07/2025 22:19

It’s always men swho seem to think women want hours of sex!
i absolutely could not be arsed, if dh has a drink it takes him a bit longer and after about 15 min of penetration I have had enough. 20/30 min (inc foreplay ) is plenty

NautilusLionfish · 18/07/2025 22:20

Every time he says? Either he has never had sex and this is his imagination of it. Or it's been so long since he had sex he has forgotten the reality. Or may be it's just him and a sex doll or fleshlight

Myfridgeiscool · 18/07/2025 14:58

I’d be meal planning for the week, let alone thinking about dinner.

Yes, I would have run up a nice list of chores and errands in my head by then, probably in alphabetical order or something.

TenaciousDeeds · 18/07/2025 22:23

Oh gosh this was me for about 20 years. I so longed for just quickies with my DH.

Clearly you don't have messy dc, a full time job.

He has never had sex for two hours.

This. Yes he IS trying to get you into bed, at least, it's at the back of his mind. The only bloke I knew who blathered on about tantric sex couldn't get it up half the time........🤔

TranceNation · 19/07/2025 07:50

Nope. That kinda thing was perhaps fun in my 20s but I'm 42 now. Once I've got my O and he's had his it's session over. Maybe twice sometimes.
