Researchers have made significant finding that could help people have a better and enjoyable intercourse that is satisfactory for both partners.
We know that indulging in some foreplay is a great way to make lads last longer in bed, but does it really heighten her sexual satisfaction?
According to a report by
Dailystar, research suggests that warming up before s*x doesn’t necessarily make the romp between the sheets much better.
According to a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, the main event is actually more important than fooling around before it. Experts quizzed more than 2,300 ladies about their bedroom habits with questions about how often they usually climax and and how long sexual acts tend to last.
On average the women said foreplay lasted for 15.4 minutes while intercourse went on for 16.2 minutes.
But interestingly it was the duration of s*x, not foreplay, that made women more likely to orgasm. And the longer the s*x session, the higher the chance the ladies would reach the big-O.
If a steamy romp lasted up to 10 minutes, 50% of ladies said they climaxed most of the time.
But if it went on for between 11 and 20 minutes, 62% of women peaked and for those who boinked for more than 20 minutes, 72% pretty much always had an orgasm.
The researchers said: “In contrast to the assumptions of many s*x therapists and educators, more attention should be given to improve the quality and duration of penile–vaginal intercourse rather than foreplay.”
Meanwhile another survey revealed that men actually want to spend more time on foreplay than women.
Some 18% of men already spend up to 30 minutes on the build-up – but almost a third would ideally like it to be even lengthier. And perhaps surprisingly a tenth of men would happily linger on the preamble for an hour or more.
The findings shatter the long-held myth that men take part in foreplay purely to please their partner and they are only concerned with intercourse.
In fact the survey of 2,000 people discovered men would also ideally spend longer on intercourse too, with a third desiring a session lasting between 20 and 30 minutes.
