It's Not A Long Matter, This Is A Sex Duration That Can Provide Maximum Satisfaction

JAKARTA - The level of satisfaction in sexual intercourse is influenced by various factors, one of which is duration. ideal duration can provide satisfaction with each other, and maintain sexual arousal, and maintain the health of intimate organs.

Sex therapist and mental health expert, Anu Goel, said that the ideal duration of sexual intercourse is not too long. A brief duration usually provides maximum satisfaction, but is also influenced by foreplay.

"The duration of vaginal sex must be between 7-15 minutes in order to provide maximum desired results and to achieve orgasm, although it is never guaranteed," said Ana Goel, quoted from Healthshot, on Wednesday, February 19, 2025.

"However, sekak is not only done vaginaally, but also very important foreplay," he added.

Research published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine divides sex into enough, desired, too short, and too long. It is stated that 3-13 minutes of sexual intercourse is normal.

Then for sex for 3-7 minutes is considered sufficient. Meanwhile, for a duration of 7-13 minutes, it is considered a satisfying sexual relationship.

Anu Goel also explained that the assumption that old sexual intercourse is better is not entirely true. The long duration of sex can lead to various complications.

If sexual intercourse is done for too long, this can result in vaginal infection. This occurs because of continuous contact between two humans, he said.

Not only that, the duration of sex that takes too long can also cause vaginal pain and even swelling. This is because this long duration makes the lubricant dry up, which in turn friction can cause constant pain. There is also a risk of urinary tract infection if you have sex for too long.

"Of course, there is also a higher risk of urinary tract infection or ISK. Too long sex can also cause physical fatigue," concluded Anu Goel.
