How Long Should You Be Lasting In Bed?

Here, two couples time themselves having sex and reveal exactly what they’re getting up to between the sheets…

New parents OJ Regan, 27, an actor, and carer Kerry Brandon, 23, from Bromley, Kent, have been together two-and-a-half years and say having a baby has meant bedroom fun is now last on their ‘to-do’ list.

Kerry says: ‘Before I fell pregnant, we’d have sex around two times a day.

People say you want sex more when you’re pregnant, but the first few months I was too busy with morning sickness to even think about it!

The birth was 12 hours and ended up being an emergency C-section. I breast-fed, then I got sepsis. Sex is only just back on the cards, five months after our baby was born. I’m not very body confident at the moment, so I prefer quick sex, with lights off and clothes on.

Timing ourselves made us try extra hard. The first time it lasted 26 minutes and 10 seconds – probably so long because I had one ear listening out for the baby.

At one point we rolled over onto one of his squeaking toys and burst out laughing!

We were more relaxed the second time – and it only lasted two minutes and 43 seconds as Freddie woke up. I reckon this is the average time for new parents!’
