There are many reasons why you might not last as long as you'd like in bed. At some point or another, most men experience this feeling. You could be experiencing performance anxiety, stress, premature ejaculation, or erectile dysfunction (if you find it difficult to get or maintain an erection during sex).
During sexual intercourse, most men ejaculate between 5-10 minutes and research has shown the average time to ejaculate after penetration is 5 1/2 minutes. Usually, ejaculation less than 1 to 1 1/2 minutes after penetration is regarded as premature ejaculation.
Delayed ejaculation, which affects about 3% of men, is not well understood because the causes can be psychological, biological or a mixture of both. You don't say much about your boyfriend, but depression, anxiety, stress and low self-esteem are linked to this issue.
A study involving 500 couples found the average time for ejaculation was about 5-and-a-half minutes after starting sex. This time could be longer for men who have sex with men. International guidelines define premature ejaculation as regularly ejaculating within 1 minute of entering your partner.
That depends on many factors and can vary from time to time. Measured on a stopwatch, it takes an average of 5 to 7 minutes for a man to reach orgasm and ejaculate. But the overall range is wide, from less than one minute to over half an hour.
On average, the respondents defined an "adequate" length of intercourse as lasting from three to seven minutes. The "desirable" ranking was clinched by stints of jiggery-pokery that lasted from seven to 13 minutes. One to two minutes was dismissed as being "too short", while 10 to 30 minutes was deemed "too long".
Some studies suggest that moderate ejaculation (2–4 times per week) is associated with a lower prostate cancer risk. However, ejaculating more often doesn't mean your cancer risk drops even more.

Studies have shown that most men ejaculate within 3 to 5 minutes after penetration. Premature ejaculation can have several causes like anxiety, unfavourable sexual partner and even chemical imbalance in the brain.
After the yearlong study, findings showed that heavier men with obvious bellies were able to last for an average of 7.3 minutes in bed, while thinner men barely lasted for two minutes, being more likely to suffer from premature ejaculation.
According to a new study, overweight men are less prone to premature ejaculation and, thanks to a higher level of estradiol (a female hormone that delays climax), big dudes also tend to last longer in the sack--7.3. minutes, to be exact.
Ejaculatory control is simply a sexual skill thanks to which, men, in a totally voluntary way, can decide when to ejaculate while having sex. Men can lengthen or shorten the time, and even choose not to ejaculate at all.
“Normal” is whatever feels fulfilling for you and your partner, and communication plays a key role in making sure both parties feel fulfilled. That said, a 2017 study that appeared in the Archives of Sexual Behavior found that the average adult currently enjoys sex 54 times a year, which equates to about once a week.
According to a research published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour, a married couple should get intimate around 51 times a year, which turns out to be once a week, to lead a satisfying and happy life.
How much sex should a couple have? Once a week is a common baseline, experts say. That statistic depends slightly on age: 40- and 50-year-olds tend to fall around that baseline, while 20- to 30-year olds tend to average around twice a week.
“Dopamine and testosterone levels drop, and prolactin [a hormone produced by your pituitary gland] rises.” Elevated prolactin levels post-ejaculation could play a role in your inability to get it up again.
They may include: Irregular hormone levels. Irregular levels of brain chemicals. Swelling and infection of the prostate or urethra.
Reasons for Premature Ejaculation
The psychological causes include: Early sexual experiences that establish a pattern in which sex is linked to excitement, anxiety, and a demand to perform quickly for fear of being caught. Men find themselves hypersensitive and unable to slow down and enjoy the pleasure of sex.
A new research review concludes that running, yoga, and pelvic floor workouts can all help solve the problem of premature ejaculation.
The average duration of sex
Researchers asked 500 couples to press a stopwatch at penetration and then at ejaculation for one month. Reported durations ranged from 33 seconds to 44 minutes. But the average for vaginal sex was 3–7 minutes (Waldinger, 2005).
