It's about quality, not quantity

If you ever wondered how your doing in bedroom, well one doctor may have the answer.

TikTok star and Healthcare professional Dr Ali has answered the question, How long should sex last?'.

The doctor posted a video on her TikTok account saying:

"So overall this is going to vary couples to couples, and obviously people define sex differently: does it include the foreplay, is it just penis-vaginal sex?

"The studies that were done look at penile-vaginal sex. So in 2005, when the study was done, the average length was 5.4 minutes."

According to LadBible, a top tip to reach the 5 minute 24 second time is to play 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen.

Unfortunately, the average length has increased over the years.

Ali explained:

"Then again in 2008 they did another study and the desirable length was seven to 10 minutes [corrected to seven to 13 minutes].

"And then in 2020 they surveyed heterosexual women and they said 13.4 minutes was average."

This means that the average length of sex for a heterosexual woman has almost tripled since 2005.
