Abstract in brief

  • The study measured the intravaginal ejaculation latency time (IELT) among men from various countries using a blinded timer device to ensure naturalness, finding a positively skewed distribution with a median of 60 minutes.
  • Men from Turkey had the shortest median IELT (44 minutes), while men from the UK had the longest (100 minutes); factors like circumcision or condom use did not significantly affect IELT.
  • Overall, the distribution of IELT using the timer was similar to previous studies with stopwatch assessments, and men who were dissatisfied with their latency time had slightly lower median IELT values.]

@Noahpinion If you were in a study measuring the time you had intercourse you would almost certainly record longer times than if you weren’t being timed. Coincidentally, in clinical trials, this is known as performance bias. https://t.co/Ocf6s8OnYJ https://t.co/RNqkrjxDjq

Эякуляции с момента начала фрикций мужчины в среднем достигают за 6 минут (https://t.co/MHlrZpMqTG). Однако в ряде случаев она может происходить даже до пенетрации, или после нескольких фрикций. Это может быть вызвано как болезнью, так и чрезмерным возбуждением.
