How long is long enough?” is a common question when discussing sexual intercourse. To explore this complex topic, ZipHealth surveyed 500 Americans and Britons, delving into their preferences, experiences, and the factors influencing sexual satisfaction.
ZipHealth examined how gender and age intersect with desired sex duration, considering the impact of foreplay, orgasm rates, and the influence of pornography. It uncovered revealing insights into American and British bedroom habits, offering strategies for addressing sexual challenges and understanding the correlation between sexual frequency and satisfaction. These findings, said ZipHealth, contribute to a broader understanding of sexual health and dynamics in contemporary American and British society.
