Mapping the long and short of sex

WASHINGTON -- They say love is eternal - sex, not so much.

According to Euripedes, "He is not a lover who does not love forever."

Clearly the Greek playwright isn't talking about sex. At least not around here.

A not-very-scientific ranking of states determined those that have the longest and shortest duration of sex.

Topping the list, by a large margin is New Mexico, where an act of love lasts just over 7 minutes, according to Nerve, an online magazine dedicated to sex, relationships and culture.

The data comes from Spreadsheets, a sex activity app that promises to "track your performance between the sheets."

The app monitors the users' movement and audio levels, using the phone's accelerometer and microphone.

Who the hell busts in 81 seconds??

Apparently Alaskans.

I thought that love making was supposed to last a while, the longest is 7 minutes, is that right?

Gee I guess I have been over achieving.

I seriously hope that isn't counting foreplay.

Either way, that's just sad.

... Why? Why is this a thing? Why am i asking why this is a thing?

Well two minutes is basically a quickie. Cannot be average. My time has to at least average triple more than that.

How on earth is the app measuring this, because I'd probably not perform too well If I strapped my phone to my cock too

I thought that love making was supposed to last a while, the longest is 7 minutes, is that right?

Well that's what guys are supposed to aspire to. It seems like a lot more aspiration than actuality (if this is in any way accurate). Consider that I'm a loner who hasn't had a girlfriend, and it's not unusual for me to go longer than 10min.

It's not a great secret either. It's a skill any man can improve on, for which there are a few well known methods.

I shall remember this when I meet the right guy. I'll aim for a target of at least 8 minutes, lol.
I had always imagined it was supposed to last an hour or two.

I'm guessing it doesn't include any foreplay.

There are guys that can last that long (in actual sex), though not a great many. I can't say much from experience at all but I'd guess for a lot of women a guy that lasts too long becomes a problem too. There are amateur porn videos I've come across in which the lady complains, wondering when the guy will finally come.

(I certainly can't speak to how that applies to gay sex, lol)

Hell, women really will find anything to complain about, won't they? Lol. Well at least I won't have to worry about that.
So when guys say they can go for hours with a girl, they are generally exaggerating a lot?

Well, I'm sure one day I will have the answer to that, lol.

I'm doubious of those results. While I'm sure that's plenty of time for a guy trying to be quick, I've got to assume it's entirely skipping all manner of foreplay, and, while I suppose some women could be fast, it takes a while to get my wife *there*.
