Coitus, the physical act of love: how long do you think it should take? A new study says the best sex lasts for 13 minutes, tops, and that three minutes should be adequate. Experts say the point of this enterprise is to get rid of unrealistic beliefs that the best sex lasts a long time.

Good Question. Everyone is different. But mutual pleasure is the key. 3 minutes I wouldn't think would be mutually pleasurable to both. However once you reach an hour then your both just getting tired. So I would think more like about half an hour ( /- a few) would be fine start to finish.
