Gender
While half of men claim to always reach orgasm, among women the percentage drops to 26%
It is a question that worries many … How long does sexual intercourse last, on average? In the case of the Spanish, between 10 and 20 minutes. This is revealed by a survey carried out by LELO, a Swedish brand of erotic toys, to more than 400 Spaniards. The study also indicates that, in 15% of cases, the figure drops to 5-10 minutes.
In general, it is a problem that worries them more than them. Almost half of those surveyed say they would prefer their relationships to be longer. Instead, this is a wish that only three in 10 respondents share. «Many people give excessive importance to duration of their sexual relations. Leaving aside physical problems in which it is advisable to go to a specialist, the fundamental thing is to enjoy the moment, and not so much how long it lasts », point out the LELO experts.
Although the duration is a problem that many Spaniards think about, 33% recognize do not carry out any exercise nor ask for advice to change the situation. Among those who do use guidelines to delay the moment of climax, the most recurrent are “giving a lot of importance to the preliminaries” or “resorting to less pleasant postures.”
Among this percentage that does try to remedy, many include the use of erotic toys, not only with the aim of obtaining pleasure, but also lengthen your relationships. According to the data provided by LELO, one in five Spaniards makes use of them during intimate moments with other people.
The study also focuses on how the use of these toys can increase the intensity of orgasm. Specifically, half of those surveyed admitted that they always achieved it, while in the case of women, this percentage is lowered to 26%.
Among those who have difficulties, the most common cause is that one of the people the relationship is over once she reaches orgasm. Other causes are the obsession to climax and the lack of trust with the sexual partner.
«The psychological factor is very important when it comes to enjoying sex. Many people see orgasm as an obligation and, in the end, they do not focus on what is really important: Stimulation, contact with the other person and communication “, they recall from LELO.
