7 to 13 Minutes of Ecstasy

DON'T MAKE IT LASTExperts say the best sex doesn't last longer than an epic rock song

In the time it takes to play "Stairway to Heaven" you can give her exactly what she wants in bed.

If you're wondering, "Stairway" clocks in at 8:02, and a new survey of sex experts says the ideal duration for sex is between 7 and 13 minutes.

Before all the minute-men get too excited, the study also found that 3 minutes is too short and that more than 13 minutes is too long. The tantric sex folks have yet to comment.

"In the fantasy model of male sexuality, men have large penises, rock-hard erections, and can sustain sexual activity all night long," lead author Dr. Corty of Penn State writes in the study, adding that it's a situation, "ripe for disappointment and dissatisfaction."

Premature ejaculation can lead to plenty of disappointment for guys—and their partners—but this study shows that sex need not last an hour to be great, and, in fact, it shouldn't.

Let's face it: There are no clocks in a great sexual encounter, but knowing that she isn't counting either can help you loosen up and enjoy the experience.

If you have to be on a schedule—in-laws arrive in 5 or you've cleared the entire night to spend in bed together—our guide to time-sensitive sex offers tips for pacing yourself whether it's a hour or a commercial break.
