That subject got you reading!

Have just slept with internet chappy, who informed me immediately prior to having sex that I should look forward to five hours of undiminished pleasure. I pointed out that five hours of it wouldn't, in my humble opinion, be particularly pleasant, but rather bloody painful, and in the end I gave him about two hours and then feigned sleep...

Anyway, it got me thinking. How long do you girls and boys think a good shag should take???

5 hours Shock

I often dream of a long session of romantic love making....... Usually it's about 10 minutes 20 if I'm lucky!!! But it's normally always good Grin

Eh? Obviously some quickies are great and some long sessions are rubbish, and vice versa.

Half an hour maximum I would say, tbh I'd be getting bored by that point.

Personally for as long as you are both enjoying it (quickie right through to all nightwear). although all nighters are out for me as pregnant

No more than half hour. What did you do for two hours?

I have a very low attention span, anything more than 1/2 hour inclusive of foreplay has me yawning. I couldn't do longer, thankfully, DP is a quick comer and perfect for me!

Two hours? Jesus wept I'd be so bored

Ugh. Ive experienced this kind of casanova. A total turn off as they dont tend to respond to you and your body, they have a pre programmed idea of What Wimmin Want. Yuk.

penetration for 2 hours- let's get down to the detail- or foreplay for 1hr 55 mins? Go on - tell all.

I agree - half an hour is more like it. well, he, er, humped for about two hours, whilst trying out every conceivable position. I began by encouraging it, and then, er, wrote out my shopping list in my head.
Got loads bought in Sainsbury's this morning

Was it some sort of tantric spinning it out for ages number. For me, the quicker the better. I like to get on with my book.

personally i can see 5hrs being a good thing but in the stopping and starting kind of way - as in have sex, lay there cuddling, get aroused again and away you go again kind of all night thing. 5hrs straight, not so much.

Get stuffed - yes, he thinks he knows what wimmin want. and I think there is a control element there (in not 'losing control' - has never been drunk, or taken mind-altering drugs for that reason).

Good. I can confidently tell him that NO woman would welcome a five hour shag-fest!

5 hrs with gaps - for coffee and chat - would be nice. 3x tho, not one endless shag.

I find penetration an almost exquisite tedium, however, and as for a bj that lasted more than 10 min - ooh, jaw pain.

Stop start sex yes, two hours of continual penetration sex, I would be raw and sore.

Reminds me of the end of Shame (not a great movie but interesting) where Michael Fassbender goes and fulfills a typical fantasy - 3some with 2 Scandi-ish hot blondes. It's starts off very hot but gets more dull and mundane and repetitive. The final scene is his face in close up glazing over as he just humps and humps and humps and humps. He's just a bored addict going through the motions with no pleasure or progression.
