While songs, books, movies and more have insisted that "all night long sex" is the way to rock the boat, you'd be surprised to know that the most desirable length for doing it is just between seven and 13 minutes!
A US survey conducted to find out how long couples could indulge in sex without it tiring them out revealed that anything longer than 13 minutes was not desirable and anything over that was too long. What's more, anything that lasted between one and two minutes was found to be "too short".
So we decided to ask a couple of our iDiva readers their "sex minute", read on because this gets very interesting!
“I can go on the entire night with breaks of course. But as soon as my partner is satisfied she doesn’t want to continue. On an average, we go on for 20 minutes if she doesn’t get too cranky… because after that it just ruins it especially if she’s just lying there doing nothing.” -Joshua Picado, 27, photo co-ordinator

So, you’ve been playing the dating game for far too long and are completely tired out; what with the constant stiletto-sporting, living in make-up and over-socialising (whoever thought looking good could be such a pain?).
You want to hang up those (killer) boots (which are no longer meant for walking, thanks to the wear and tear) and settle down to a life of domestic bliss. Conversely, you are perhaps the kind who has spent most of your life lost in books, and playing ‘broker’ to all your friend’s relationships. Your hair is always secured in a ponytail and the very thought of a guy approaching makes you die of nerves.
But then, you’ve reached a point in life where you want companionship, and the only way you’ll have it is by getting married. Or, you could just be the girl who has found the man of her dreams, but is scared if he really is the one. Well, in whichever category you find yourself, there’s more to marriage than what meets the eye, and jumping into it in a fit of hormones will spell disaster.
You might be ready to tie the knot if...
You feel more than a tad envious and sad when your best friend announces she’s getting married.
You actually start looking forward to coming back to the same face, night after night.
Sharing space doesn’t seem like such a bad thing after all.
You are finally able to trust a man, a 100 per cent.
You’d be willing to sacrifice your weekly ladies’ night, when your man needs you.
The thought of opening a joint account doesn’t horrify you so much.
You want your parents to approve of your partner, and in turn, you want him to adore your parents.
You’re up for the challenge of doing every thing double. Laundry, cooking, cleaning up....etc.
The wedding dress and diamond ring aren’t the most exciting prospects of getting married.
You’re ready to throw your ego out of the window
‘We’ and ‘us’, have started sounding better than ‘I’ and ‘me’.
You have achieved financial stability.
You are aware of your partner’s quirks and feel sure you can live with them.
You are open to making small changes to your ‘big life plan’.
You can say the L word and mean it with all your heart and soul!
As for the guys:
If you can picture yourself walking down the aisle, without thoughts of running away (a la Chandler from FRIENDS) or breaking into a cold sweat, you’ve reached home base, brother!
