Alright, folks, let’s talk about something we all think about but don’t always discuss openly: how long it takes a guy to, you know, finish. I decided to get down and dirty with this topic, not just for kicks, but to really understand what’s going on down there.
So, I started with some digging online, and man, is there a lot of mixed info out there. Some say it’s all over in like 3 to 10 minutes, others talk about these marathon sessions. And then there’s this thing called “delayed ejaculation” which, honestly, sounds like a superpower if you and your partner are into that kind of thing. I also read about the refractory period and how the time a guy needs until he is ready for the next round differs from age to age. And some guys seem to be able to go again immediately, while others need a whole day, crazy.
But I wasn’t just gonna take the internet’s word for it. I decided to run my own little experiment. Yeah, you heard that right. I timed myself. Multiple times. Different days, different moods, just to see what the average would be.
- First try: I was pretty relaxed, just got into it. It took me about 7 minutes. Not bad, I guess.
- Second try: This time, I was a bit more, uh, eager. Clocked in around 5 minutes.
- Third try: I tried to stretch it out, see if I could delay the inevitable. Made it to 12 minutes.
After a few more rounds (for science, of course), I found my average time was around 8 minutes. But it really varied a lot depending on, well, a lot of things. How I was feeling, what I was thinking about, even what I ate that day seemed to play a part. I also tried out different techniques, like edging. Not only can it feel really good, it also really gives you control over your body and helps you to get to know yourself better. Edging is also really fun with a partner. You can for example try to match each others rhythm, which can lead to a really explosive orgasm. Or you can make a little competition out of it by seeing who can hold out longer. In general I can really recommend experimenting with a partner. It can be really exciting and you can learn a lot about your own body and about what you like in bed.
The big takeaway?
There’s no “normal” when it comes to this stuff. Everyone’s different. It’s all about what feels good for you and your partner. Don’t get hung up on the numbers, just enjoy the ride, whatever it might be. For example, you can experiment with edging to get to know your body better and to feel better. Or you can try matching your rhythm with your partner, this can lead to a really explosive orgasm. And if you’re taking a bit longer than average, or finishing up quicker than you’d like, it’s all good. As long as you are not putting pressure on yourself, just enjoy the ride, no matter how long it is.
This whole experiment really opened my eyes to how complex our bodies are. And how much we still have to learn about them. I really recommend trying this little experiment out for yourself. It is really interesting to see how your body works and it might change your perspective on things.
