Do you need some serious, sensitive life advice?
Maybe don’t ask Wendy Squires. But if you want a no bullshit, no niceties and no regrets view on something in your world, Wendy is your woman.
Wendy is childfree and often single. She believes she has copped enough advice over the years and that now it’s time throw some back.
So, without any more fannying around, here’s her first-ever “agony aunt” column for Mamamia.
Dear Wendy,
My partner is ordering some of those “sex drugs” online. He really thinks that our sex should last longer. I already think it lasts too long as it is. Help?

WENDY SAYS: We’ve all been there and don’t dare deny it. He’s still going, thrusting away, while you’re so over it your throat is sore from faking groaning noises. You pull out the old “I’ll talk dirty to move things along” tactic but it only makes him go harder. You are dry, exhausted and so transfixed on the dusty curtains you’ve been staring at, you’d much rather be putting them on with a load of Napisan than stay trapped under your lover’s loins.
Now, this doesn’t mean you’re not crazy about your man – it’s just likely you’re just mad for sleep. Should there be a silent ballot asking women they would like to last longer, I reckon REM would win out over RPM (repetitive pumps per minute) hands down. Sleep, let’s face it, is ecstasy. When you want it, it’s all you want.
So, why is there all this constant hooha – ads, articles, talkback – about women wanting men to “last longer” in bed you ask? Allow me to bust this myth out of the ballpark.
OK, there might be some women out there with partners who suffer premature ejaculation (under two minute types) and well, my condolences. I hope he’s good around the house. However, you are not to feel too bad because, after much research I have discovered the average duration per sexual encounter is 3 minutes and 45 seconds. And if it lasts longer, surveys say it will come in under seven minutes tops. Yet, still this is too long for many women claiming they are not satisfied in the bedroom and I believe I have the answer.
