Penn State Live Says You Only Need To Hold Out For 13 Minutes. So Forget the Desensitizing Gel

Penn State Live is essentially the PR Department of Penn State. Sometimes the stuff on there is newsworthy, like the cancellation postponement of the Fergie concert, and sometimes ... not so much. But today, Penn State Live has released the most important press release in the history of press releases, titled: "Good sexual intercourse lasts minutes, not hours, therapists say." Premature ejaculators rejoice.

So, what does this press release have to do with Penn State? Well, Penn State Live says "Penn State Erie researchers Eric Corty and Jenay Guardiani conducted a survey of 50 full members of the Society for Sex Therapy and Research" and concluded that "[s]atisfactory sexual intercourse for couples lasts from 3 to 13 minutes."

In perhaps the dirtiest part of the press release, the study found that "[t]hirty-four, or 68 percent, of the group responded and rated a range of time amounts for sexual intercourse, from penetration of the vagina by the penis until ejaculation, that they considered adequate, desirable, too short and too long." Wow "penetration," "vagina," "penis" and "ejaculation" all in the same sentence ... how about a NSFW warning Penn State Live.

Anyway, the study found that therapists qualified length of sexual activity in the following ranges: "adequate," from 3-7 minutes; "desirable," from 7-13 minutes; "too short" from 1-2 minutes; and "too long" from 10-30 minutes."

Forget what I said earlier, because this is the dirtiest part of the press release: "Unfortunately, today’s popular culture has reinforced stereotypes about sexual activity. Many men and women seem to believe the fantasy model of large penises, rock-hard erections and all-night-long intercourse." Rock-hard erections? Really Penn State Live? Really?

The researchers finding will appear in the May issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine but can be seen here if you're a complete nerd.
