      When a couple has sex, it usually lasts about 5-15 minutes. Of course, each couple's physical condition, sexual habits, etc. are different. Even for the same couple, the specific circumstances and environmental conditions of each sexual life are also different. Therefore, it is difficult to set a standard for how long the duration of each sexual life is appropriate.

      Some people think that the longer each sexual life lasts, the more sexual satisfaction can be obtained. This view is not scientific. Sexual physiological research shows that if a sexual life lasts for a long time, it is detrimental to the health of both parties.

If the sexual life lasts for a long time, the body's energy consumption will exceed the body's and make people feel tired, and even cause both parties to suffer from mental fatigue, muscle soreness, general weakness and other discomforts, which will inevitably affect the work and labor of the next day.

      Second, during sexual intercourse, the sexual organs of both men and women are in close contact and move under a highly congested state. If the time is too long, it is easy to cause various diseaseclinical Prove that if sex lasts too long, female It is more likely to cause urinary infections, menstrual disorders, etc. male easy to trigger prostatitis wait.
