There is no ‘normal standard time’ for an intercourse. It depends upon the partners. Intercourse may be continued till it is mutually satisfying. A prolonged intercourse does not necessarily give more pleasure. This is a myth. What is important is not how long, but how satisfying?

Sexual intercourse is the means to an end, the end being pleasure. Therefore, a couple can have intercourse as often as it pleases them. It is a pleasure to be shared between the partners and there is no need to keep a tally. ‘Frequent’ or ‘normal’ depends upon the individual couple. The best thing to do is to forget the number’s game and indulge as often as it is mutually pleasurable and satisfying. What is- important is the quality and not the quantity.

Frequent Intercourse Harmfulness

Present medical knowledge acknowledges the fact that as long as intercourse occurs among accepting partners and is not associated with physical trauma or irritation, the act itself is not harmful, irrespective of its frequency.

Interplay implies the whole spectrum of interaction, that is the entire gamut of motions and emotions, between individuals indulging in ‘play’.

Foreplay is extremely important. It kindles desire and marks the beginning of the interplay. An adequate foreplay ensures adequate arousal and promotes sexual compatibility.
