I read online today, some international panel of “sex experts” (I wonder how you get to be one of those?) has decided that sex of between three and seven minutes is “adequate”, particularly for women.

Counter-intuitively:

“Usually women are quite happy with short intercourse, and are not bothered about prolonging it at all, but nearly all men want it to be much, much longer.”

I suspect there’s more to this story.

Consider this: don’t you think the figures would change depending on who you’re having sex with? If you’re having sex with Brad Pitt, a steamy seven minutes might not even scratch the surface, but if you’re unfortunate enough to fall into bed with someone like, well, me for example, three minutes might be more than enough.

You see, it’s all relative.

As my grammatically challenged colleagues would say, the “learning” to “take away” from all of this is that, from a woman’s perspective, sex should ideally be between three and seven minutes long.

That’s a fair bit of activity to squeeze into a short time: clearly there’s not enough time for foreplay.

Also, while all that post-coital cuddling stuff is super-fun, we simply don’t have time.

Running
I did plan on a run last night but I’m afraid I’ve disappointed you loyal readers. Yet again. The horizontal position was just too attractive. Get your mind out of the gutter: no horizontal jogging, just sleep.
