What is an average sex time in India and how do you last longer in bed?

“Okay!! Firstly, don’t feel ashamed about searching this topic. Healthy sexual intercourse is a human desire and there is nothing wrong if you want to know any aspects of it.” 

Sex time can be defined as the time interval between the penetration of the penis in the vagina up to the time of ejaculation. Or how long a man can hold the erection can indicate sex time. Before knowing the sex time it is important to know the revolving causes and factors that may differentiate the sex time in every individual. 

Just as sunrise time differs with geographical location, weather, and pollution in the same way various factors can affect sex time.

According to the studies a man can hold an erection from a few minutes to half an hour. As various factors determine sex time –

• Sex time may depend on an individual’s definition of sex
• Some people may need quick aggressive sex whereas some may prefer the other way
• Advancing age delays the time of arousal, this affects achieving/maintaining erection and the hormonal changes can cause vaginal dryness and decrease sexual desire
• Genital shape may also determine the sex time 
• Any sexual problems such as premature/delayed ejaculation affect the sex time
• Any health problems or medication can interfere with sex and sex time

“What factors affect erection is well understood but how does erection occur? What changes in the body leads to erection?”

Understanding this can help you connect sexual problems with an overall health condition. With sexual arousal, there is dilation of the blood vessels in the penis. As a result, the blood vessels and tissues in the penis are filled with blood resulting in an erection. The penis return to its normal shape after ejaculation as the excess blood is drained back. The erection is maintained as long as extra blood remains in the penile tissue and blood vessels.
