There have been a number of studies into how long you should be having sex for and what is considered normal.

Men who worry their partner is expecting them to last all night can breathe a sigh of relief.

According to science the median amount time for a man to last in the bedroom is 5.4 minutes, according to a 2005 study. 

This means if you line 100 men up from shortest time before ejaculation to longest, the man in the middle would take 5.4 minutes.

A 2008 study of Canadian and American sex therapists found the average time for men to last in bed was 7 minutes, with under two minutes being too short and 10 to 30 minutes being too long.

Fourteen per cent of men in study lasted under 3 minutes and 20 seconds on average and 26 per cent lasted over ten minutes.

Researchers in 1991 from the Kinsey Institute found: “75 percent of men ejaculated within two minutes of penetration at least half of the time."

However, whether or not you really qualify as a premature ejaculation sufferer relies on more criteria than just how quickly you ejaculate. 

Sydney sexual health doctor Chris McMahon, revealed in the The Journal of Sexual Medicine that to qualify you must have three factors about your ejaculation. 

On top of the timing for your ejaculation being fairly quick, you must also be unable to control or delay it at all, and this issue must cause negative psychological consequences.

If you don’t tick all of these boxes then you do not have premature ejaculation. 

In fact, only about 2 per cent to 3 per cent of men suffer from the condition.
