Sex Myth Debunked?

I briefly saw this following report on CNN while I was at the bank earlier today and thought it was intresting enough to share. How the researchers tricked the entity into funding this research is beyond my comprehension but the hypothesis that was tested was "Does the endurance of sexual intercourse impact the pleasure?" Researchers concluded not at all. Pleasurable sexual intercourse among both parties regardless of sex or sexual orientation can be achieved between 3-13 minutes. This does not include sexual foreplay which would add more time of course.

This sort of debunks the myth that longer is better right? No, not really. You still have to fulfill your partner. Researchers only concluded that most couples are able to achieve that end goal within that given time range. This counters the long standing notion that the longer you go the better. On the contrary just like you could be terrible in 1 minute you can be horrible for 60 minutes.

There was an intresting comment that I had to share. Marianne Brandon, a clinical psychologist and director of Wellminds Wellbodies in Annapolis, Md states, "There are so many myths in our culture of what other people are doing sexually. Most people's sex lives are not as exciting as other people think they are." I never thought of other people's sexual lives or compared them. I guess I enjoy mine so much that I do not care what other people are up to . . . or not.
