Good sex lasts minutes, not hours!

How long do you think sex should last?

In a USA Today article, "A survey of sex therapists concluded the optimal amount of time for sexual intercourse was 3 to 13 minutes. The findings, to be published in the May issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, strike at the notion that endurance is the key to a great sex life."

We are bombarded by stereotypes of what film makers and magazine editors think sex should look like.  On the other side of that is porn and all it's ideas about sex.  All of these forces can be shaming and diminishing and leave people unable to trust what is true for them.

If you worry about what "normal" is when it comes to your sex life, you might want to know that, according to Marianne Brandon, a clinical psychologist and director of Wellminds Wellbodies in Annapolis, Md., "most people's sex lives are not as exciting as other people think they are."
