I've been having sex for 10+ years - why can I never seem to have a longer orgasm than 30 seconds? Who else experiences this?
Re: Honesty about Orgasms
This. I can't honestly tell you how long we usually have sex, much less how long my longest orgasm has been, because I'm not checking the clock or holding a stopwatch. I have far more interesting things to do in bed with DH.
The wikipedia page on orgasms claims the average length for a woman is about 20 seconds, so I think you're probably doing just fine.

"You know you're in love when you don't want to fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." - Dr. SeussSeriously, what? Do you keep a stopwatch on the nightstand? How long do you want them to be?
I mean tantric people say they can orgasm for hours but you might need new watch batteries more often...
Perhaps you mean intensity of orgasm, not the length of one.
it is what it is. Sometimes it's very intense, sometimes it's not. It depends on the circumstances and sex.
I don't think I've ever had one that long <.<
Maybe 5-10 seconds...Now I feel like I'm missing out!
