Texas Lasts Longer Than Most States in the Bedroom

National Sex Day is on Monday June 9th- get it, 6/9? And with many who will probably want to partake in festivities now is a good time to ask- how long can you last in bed? When it comes to bedroom stamina, some states tap out early- while others know how to take their sweet time. And wouldn’t you know it, Texas made the top 10.

That’s right, a new national survey reveals which states last the longest in bed, and the Lone Star State held its own. Whether it's the heat, the hospitality, or just that Texas pride, folks here clearly know how to go the distance.

But before we tip our cowboy hats and claim victory, let’s talk about what Americans actually think good sex looks like- and how long they wish it would last. Turns out, there’s a pretty big gap between expectations and reality. Some are wrapping it up before things even get going, while others are pacing themselves like pros.

How Long Do People Want to Last in the Bedroom?

So, how long are folks actually lasting? According to the survey, conducted by Naplab,  the average American clocks in at just over 27 minutes between the sheets. Not bad—but not quite the marathon some might hope for. When asked how long they want sex to last, most people said somewhere between 23 and 53 minutes. That’s right- many of us are dreaming of a steamy half-hour minimum, with some aiming for nearly an hour of action.

So where does Texas stand in all this? Let’s just say, the Lone Star State isn’t lagging behind. In fact, according to the survey, Texas lands comfortably in the top 10 for lasting longest in bed. That’s right- while some states are calling it quits early, Texans are taking their time and putting in the work. Whether it’s the Southern charm or just good ol’ stamina, we’re holding our own on the national stage.

How Long Are Texans Lasting in the Bedroom?

The official average? Texans are lasting a solid 30.7 minutes. That’s more than three minutes above the national average- and enough to earn Texas the No. 10 spot on the list. Not too shabby for a state known for going big or going home.

So what’s the takeaway? Americans generally want a good, satisfying stretch between the sheets- around 23 to 53 minutes- with plenty of folks hoping for multiple rounds in a single night. But timing isn’t always on everyone’s side. More than half say their partner often finishes too soon, leading to a fair share of faking it and some well-timed Googling for tips on lasting longer. Still, most agree that it’s not a deal breaker- though the pressure to perform can definitely linger.

Whether you’re a Texas-sized marathoner or just aiming to sync up with your partner’s pace, it’s clear that when it comes to sex, timing is personal, sometimes complicated, and always part of the fun.
