Men, do you worry about your penis size? Women, do you worry about your breast size? Fear of being “sexually average” or sexually below average is actually common among both men and women. Many of our perceived sexual inadequacies come from three-hour-long love-making sessions and unusually long areas of the male anatomy displayed on movies and TV. In reality, the average erect penis is between 5.5 to 6.2 inches long, and the average American bra size is 34DD. Let’s see what else is considered “sexually average” in the U.S.

When it comes to losing our virginity, the U.S. average among both men and women is 17.1 years old. By the time we’re between the ages of 25 and 44, the average straight male has accumulated 6.1 sexual partners, while the average straight female 3.6 sexual partners. For couples looking to compare how often they have sex with other couples, 18- to 29-year-olds get frisky around 112 times per year, 30- to 39-year-olds 86 times per year, and 40- to 49-year-olds 69 times per year (no pun intended).

A survey of 1,000 women who were asked how long their foreplay sessions last for revealed the average time was between five to nine minutes. The same survey found that actual intercourse lasts for around 10 to 14 minutes. It takes the average straight male 5.4 minutes to ejaculate during vaginal sex. Finally, when it comes to protection, around 16 percent of women who do use contraception use the pill, making it the most common form of protection. Spoiler Alert! That won’t protect you from STDs.
