How long do women like to have intercourse?

How long do women like to have intercourse? The next question is, can foreplay make up for intercourse? If any of you have been following my latest posts you will understand why I ask these questions. I take my time with foreplay but I am only average when it comes to intercourse.

Most of their lives, I would imagine.

 

In reality, most intercourse lasts well under 15 minutes, and a doctor friend told me recently that the national average is more like 5 minutes, tops (of course there are exceptions. I recall reading years ago that women "think" they would like between 8 and 13 minutes.

 

Foreplay is usually necessary, but except for a small minority of women, they also want intercourse, so it cannot replace intercourse.

I like it short and sweet. After too long, it starts getting sore and uncomfortable down there. More foreplay is better.

Foreplay is more important, and more enjoyable, for me. Pounding away for an hour doesn't really do anything for me, I prefer it short like maybe 5-8 minutes.

Central nailed it, ( no pun intended!) most of a ladies life if the right partner can endure. Leave the minute man back in history books. Cant stand the wham bam method. I sneeze longer then some guys can last. Sad but true. Intimacy is far more worthy then the two minute fiasco.
