nag, get possessive, have a honey-do list, enjoy shopping or enjoy girl talk. I do enjoy nice lingerie though.

Generally ten minutes? You're obviously speaking from wide experience. I think I'd better insist on a recount.
Of course, it's safe for you to raise the goat question. But I couldn't possibly comment; our future EC colleagues live quite near, many of us holiday in Turkey* - and I have not intention of upsetting even one of them.
PS *They also have sheep there.

It might be just six seconds to you Jane, but to most women I'm sure it's the difference betweeen ordinary and ecstasy.
But don't despair: finish your Tums and take a good book to bed.

If British men last longer, I can't help but wonder if it's because they
are so busy looking unamused (in typical British fashion) that they are able to put off the final act for .6 more minutes. I think the statistics for American men are skewed. After all, they generally last a good ten minutes or so. During football season (NFL, that is) they only have two minutes during the commercial break, which brings the national avg WAY down. And let's not forget March Madness...As for the Turks...Was that average based on sex with women or goats?

From Bunny
"While British men took on average 7.6 minutes, the typical American took 7 minutes, while the Spanish lasted 5.8 minutes and the Dutch 5.1 minutes.
The Turks produced the biggest surprise: on average they spend just 3.7 minutes at it."
Well, yeah, this makes sense. See, in order not to finish too fast, men have to think of something to distract themselves.
The Turks really don't have anything too distracting to think of because they live in a beautiful country with great food and their national sport is wrestling, which has no statistics or strikes.
The Dutch also don't have much that is distracting because they live in a pretty stress-free country where the government pays for their health care, but they can envision the dams breaking and water covering the red-light district.
The Spanish are a little better off in the distratction department because they can imagine running away from the bulls, although that could be exciting, too.
American men have a big advantage in the distraction department, because they can think of baseball statistics, and IRS audit, or whether the condom is staying on. (The condom alone gives them extra seconds.)
But British men have the biggest distraction advantage alone, because they can envision Charles and Camillas' wedding night, which is way scarier than the IRS.

Ah Limey, there you go, screwing with statistics
7 minutes vs what was that, 7 minutes 6 seconds? Is that even statistically significant? Did the article mention the p-value? Now if you'd compared the Brits with the Dutch or the Turks I would be impressed.
What I'd like to know is this: which government funded such a study? And of what benefit is this to humankind? It would be just my luck to know that the study was funded by my hard earned tax dollars. My stomach is once again beginning to churn. . . .

I don't know if this has anything to do with that, but around my group of
nastys, and in my city in general...the big new drug is Viagra. Everytime I turn around, some guy is braggin' about getting a few of em, or someone is bitchin' because they can't find any...these are guys my age. It's huge here. Pop a viagra. Nevermind the woman who may not want him "awake" for 10 hours. I ask some of them if they have a problem down there, they all say the same. Nope. They just love how it feels. Whatever.

Limey,
What other voice is there?
This is why I prefer (usually) older men, regardless of nationality. It takes practice to get it right. Of course if you've ever seen the film Henry and June you'll know what I'm talking about as far as the five minute sex act is concerned. It's not always such a bad thing.
What's all this talk about sex all of a sudden, anyway? It must be Spring even online.

Okay...
Maybe US guys can't last the extra 10 seconds to keep up with our British colleagues, but the study (as far as session duration goes) is rather worse on the Spanish, Dutch and the Turks.
One could see the whole thing as yet another grand show of Anglo-American dedication and determination. Sir Winston would be proud.
