Patient's question:
How long is a normal sexual intercourse?Doctor's answer:
Hello, during sexual activity between couples, from the beginning of sexual excitement to the end of ejaculation, under normal circumstances, the duration is approximately 5-15 minutes. Of course, the physical conditions and sexual habits of each couple are not the same, and even the same couple, each time they engage in sexual activity, the specific circumstances and environmental conditions are also different. Therefore, it is difficult to set a standard for how long the duration of each sexual activity should be.Some people believe that the longer the duration of each sexual activity, the greater the sexual satisfaction. This view is not scientific. Sexual physiology research shows that prolonged sexual activity is harmful to both partners.
First, during sexual activity, not only are the sexual organs of both men and women in a state of high congestion, but many tissues and organs of the body also participate in this special physiological process from the stage of sexual excitement to the climax. For example, the tension of the muscles throughout the body is significantly enhanced, the heart rate increases, the contraction of the heart muscle strengthens, blood pressure rises, breathing deepens and accelerates, blood vessels throughout the body expand, and sweating increases, and so on. Therefore, the body's energy consumption and metabolism are significantly increased. If sexual activity is prolonged, it will cause excessive energy consumption, making people feel tired, and may even lead to mental fatigue, muscle soreness, and overall weakness in both partners. This will inevitably affect work and labor the next day.
Second, during sexual activity, the sexual organs of both men and women are closely in contact and active in a state of high congestion. If the duration is too long, it is easy to cause various diseases. Clinical evidence shows that prolonged sexual activity is more likely to lead to
