			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="left" src="http://www.tinysci.com/images/watch.jpg" alt="A Watch" />That&#8217;s the question, and Dr. Eric Corty wanted to know.  So he asked a number of folks at the Society for Sex Therapy and Research, received 34 responses, and found that the most desirable duration lasts between 7-13 minutes.  Which seems to fit well with a study in 2005 which found that the median time for sex was just over 7 minutes.</p>
<p>Of course, those queried were likely a highly biased group.  And, I have to imagine things like, profession and age were not controlled for, but I don&#8217;t really know because I can&#8217;t see the study without paying for it.  And, because this is still a blog written on my spare time, there&#8217;s no budget for this sort of thing.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m not saying go out and see for yourselves, but hey, if you have other ideas of &#8220;best&#8221; durations, feel free to write in a comment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.tinysci.com/images/melissatheuriau.jpg" alt="Melissa Theuriau" class="left" />Let&#8217;s do a little thought experiment &#8211; I hear it worked for Einstein.  Say you&#8217;re a heterosexual guy in a committed relationship and you see this gal on the left walk by (who happens to be French anchor Melissa Theuriau).  What are you gonna do?  Keep on walking?  Glance? Stare? Dare I say, ogle?</p>
<p>Well guys, that compulsion you had to stare, one you fight to suppress at times, is actually <em>hardwired into your brain</em>.  And it applies to women too.  Researchers have discovered a measurable yet uncontrollable need for people to stare at an attractive person for longer periods of time than a &#8220;normal&#8221; one.</p>
<p><span id="more-100"></span>Does this mean we&#8217;re off the hook for ogling?  Hardly.  Despite the brief ocular indiscretion, the power of rational thought often takes over, and nobody&#8217;s the wiser.  Still, if you can&#8217;t seem to keep your eyes off the likes of Melissa, jump to the article for some advice.</p>
