The 30-Minute Sex Rule: Is This the Sweet Spot for Ultimate Pleasure?
Science Says 30 Minutes Is the Ideal Bedroom Duration — But Does Timing Really Matter?
We’ve all heard that great sex should last for hours. Movies and romance novels make it seem like couples spend entire nights tangled in the sheets, whispering sweet nothings, and waking up magically fresh-faced with zero morning breath.
