So how much time IS good for sex in your opinion - 45 mins (or less or more)?

Reading the thread about lack of libido I was interested to see that someone said that 45 mins foreplay was normal for them. I always feel guilty if DP spends too much time trying to get me going. But is this normal...I do think that women take a long time to warm up properly. How much time does your DP/DH spend on foreplay?

LMAO - Yep but he won't let me turn it on!! HAHAHA

Oh bless him if he read this he'd be mortified.

About 15-20 mins MAX, the in and out bit lasts a few thrusts usually lol.
Am shocked that someone can last 45 mins.

I've told him lots of times that nothing is going to happen to me during this part but he keeps going waiting for me to orgasm.

AnyFuckerForAMincePie · 06/01/2009 18:43

depends how long we have

foreplay-at least 20 mins, often more

DH knows I never have an orgasm from penetration, so he has become very skilled in other ways

scorpio1 · 06/01/2009 18:47

It all depends really, on how we feel. sometimes we go for hours if feeling dirty; a bit of warm lube always helps with the soreness mmj

solidgoldsoddingjanuaryagain · 06/01/2009 18:50

Surely it depends what you include as 'sex', really (thank you Sheila Jeffries for the only useful insight in your entire output). It's not just the in-out, or the continuous in-out, after all.

muggglewump · 06/01/2009 18:52

I'm single now and gagging for it but I'd say the actual penetration part, no more than 15-20 minutes or I just get friction fanjo and it's sore. The rest can go on for hours, or minutes depending on the mood.

DevilsAdvocaat · 06/01/2009 18:52

jeez!

not that long but then i come really easily.
maybe 15-20 mins for the whole lot?!

god is that bad?

thing is i can just keep coming again and again so it depends on how tired dh is. or how long it's been since the last time

Yep...ten minutes for the lot for me too..

ThePellyandMe · 06/01/2009 19:14

My god 45 mins[shock, DH would have to wake me when he finished if he kept going that long

15-20 mins I think, beginning to end so to speak. Anymore and my mind wanders. DH would be more of a 10min man if he could. Good job I'm easily pleased.

It depends. If I have a good book on the go, ten mins is enough.

afterplay is cup of tea
