Survey Finds Men Want Blow Jobs To Last Nine Minutes On Average

Much like microwaves and treadmill minutes, blowjobs seem to go on FOREVER.

Sure, there are many variables that determine how long a humble mouth hug lasts (stamina, arousal, personal preference, etc.) But it does beg the question: is there a sweet spot?

“Everyone wants to please their partner in bed, but it seems there may be some miscommunication between what men want and what women are giving (and vice versa),” sexologist, Dr. Jill McDevitt, tells HelloGiggles.

A recent online survey funded by Superdrug totally backs this up. Of the 1,100 adults surveyed, the women set aside 11 minutes on average for a BJ, while the guys said it should take no more than 9. Still, for both the giver and receiver, this is a ton of time below the belt.

“These estimates and preferences seem high to me,” Dr Jessica O’Reilly says via her video course Drive Him Wild With Pleasure. “It’s possible we overestimate how long an experience lasts when we’re enjoying ourselves, and it’s also possible that we want it to last longer because we’re enjoying it.”

Bottom line? Most dudes don’t count the seconds as you’re going down on them, so take these findings with a grain of salt. Just keep mind that if it’s dragging on for you, it probably is for him too.
