Sexual Satisfaction Findings...

Hmmmph!
That's all I have to say about the scientific study which I found by visiting fellow author, Rusty Wick's, blog...Rusty's Ramblings

Only Minutes Needed For Satisfactory Sex

All I have to say is a man did the research...on other men. Period. And really...the test participants were armed with stop watches...were they trying for a race?

Now, I'll admit, with my vibrator...minutes will do...for an orgasm...if that's all we're talking about here...but for women...it takes more than an orgasm for complete satisfaction...

Why?
Look, not to be rude, but I don't need another warm body to orgasm...and I haven't since I was eight...but a quick release is just efficiency...not fulfillment...it takes the edge off and makes the day a little less stressful...

But if we are really talking about sexual fulfillment...it's going to take a whole lot more.
And there is no mention in the article at all that mentions anything about the 50% of couples who are unsatisfied with their current sex life (**less abroad)...

As a matter of fact the article claims:
"There are so many myths in our culture of what other people are doing sexually," Brandon said. "Most people's sex lives are not as exciting as other people think they are."

I guess it depends on whose blog you read...maybe all that sexual ecstasy is pure fantasy...
Ummmm...nope.

How can I be so certain?
Amazing lovers. Not one. Not two. Not merely a fluke. And I've decided it's all about expectations. If I tell the guy we've got four hours to play...that's how long we play...and multiple orgasms around usually leave the question of satisfaction a fairly mute point.

Okay, even on a purely vanilla level...sex lasts as long as both partners are cooperative...if it's minutes, somebody isn't co-operating...

Is there a place for the Quickie?
Most certainly.
But that should fall under the realm of unusual...not always.

So...by the numbers...according to this study which is the largest and broadest of its kind...AND...corralates sexual satisfaction and happiness...

In Western nations, two-thirds of men and women reported their sexual relationships were satisfying, and 80 percent said they were satisfied with their ability to have sex. About half of the men and one third of the women said sex was extremely or very important in their lives.

In Middle Eastern nations, 50 percent of men and 38 percent of women found their sex lives satisfying. About 70 percent said they were satisfied with their ability to have sex. Sixty percent of men and 37 percent of women said sex is an important part of their overall lives.

In East Asian countries, only about one quarter of men and women reported physical and emotional pleasure with sex, while two thirds of the men and half of the women reported satisfaction with their ability to have sex. Among men, 28 percent said sex was important to them, while only 12 percent of the women did.

I'll just bet, if they armed their participants with stop watches...there would be some pretty quick quickies coming out of the information from the Middle East and Asia...

Today's lesson?
It isn't about speed...slow down and enjoy the moment...
