Yep, pretty much the time it takes for you to make a cup of tea.

When it comes to self love, there’s not too much of a difference between men and women, with males taking two minutes to climax while masturbating and women four minutes.

But it’s a whole different story when it comes to having sex with a partner.

Research has found that it typically takes women between 10 to 20 minutes of foreplay and sex to reach orgasm.

That doesn't bode well for most ladies, if you consider a University of Queensland study which looked to 500 couples around the world to find the average length of a sex session. The study found that intercourse ranged from 33 seconds (!) to 44 minutes, with the average time being 5.4 minutes.
