When A Quickie Lasts an Hour

As open as I am online, I'm not going to reveal how long my husband goes. (I'm talking about sex, not body parts.)

I will say, however, that my girlfriends and I have had some pretty rowdy discussions about what a quickie actually means. For some of them, it's literally a few minutes. For me, that's about as satisfying as seeing an entire Cheesecake Factory pie and licking just a tiny bit of whip cream. I'd rather pass on the entire experience then get my hopes up for a boring cherry. (Hee hee.)

Others say that a quickie simply means sex without foreplay. But what if the sex itself takes a half hour? Is that really a quickie? "I have to slap my husband's butt to give him the little 'It's time for the grand finale' hint hint," one laughed. (The friend whose husband goes for the two minute marathon? She wasn't chuckling so much.)

I can't complain about my husband at all. After all these years, I'm just as attracted to him as I was when we first got together. For me, it's what happens outside the bedroom that determines my attraction inside it. What about you? What's too short? What's too long? Any products you use that keep the endurance going?
