Honesty about Orgasms

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?

    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.

  • Seriously, 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 couldn't tell you how long mine are...I've never counted. But I agree that some times are better than others. Doesn't seem to really be a rhyme or reason to it really.

    Mine are much better when there's lots of build up before sex even starts, then loss of foreplay, and my mind isn't wandering. When I'm stressing about work and can't just enjoy the sensations I miss out on the mind blowing orgasms. I'm working on improving focus. :) I've never timed though. 
  • I don't think I've ever had one that long <.<

     Maybe 5-10 seconds...Now I feel like I'm missing out!
