So you know everything there is to know about sex, do you? You\u2019ve covered all the ins and outs of the ol\u2019 in-and-out? Been around the block so many times that there\u2019s a street named after you?<\/p>\n

Hopefully you\u2019re not so wise as to be forever unsurprised.<\/p>\n

Anything worth taking pleasure in is a lifelong pursuit of wisdom in itself, and we\u2019d be surprised if you knew every one of the following sex facts on our list; so strap in and get ready to take notes, because school is now in session!<\/p>\n

The Average Erect Penis is 5 to 5.7 Inches Long<\/h2>\n

Bet you thought 6 inches was the normal size, didn\u2019t you? Well, that fabled figure of 6 inches<\/a> is one that\u2019s been rounded up for many years now (most likely by guys), which admittedly is not the most surprising statistic we\u2019ve got, considering that\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2026Your Vagina Also Grows During Arousal \u2013 A Lot!<\/h2>\n

<\/b>Regularly (read; when you\u2019re not turned on), an average vagina is three to four inches long. When you\u2019re\u00a0in the mood\u00a0for sex<\/a>\u00a0however, it stretches to 200% its normal size!<\/p>\n

Her Orgasm Lasts 4 Times Longer than His<\/h2>\n

<\/b>While it may take a woman longer to get there, when she arrives at climax it\u2019s a worthwhile journey. This is because compared to a man\u2019s orgasm, which lasts an average of a paltry 6 seconds, a woman\u2019s orgasm\u00a0can go on for as long as 20 seconds! High fives, ladies! Solemn nods, gentlemen.<\/p>\n

Good news, right? But hold on a minute there, because\u2026<\/p>\n

Two-thirds of Women have Faked It<\/h2>\n

<\/b>And by \u2018it\u2019, we of course mean an\u00a0orgasm<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Seriously? That kind of false reinforcement isn\u2019t going to ensure your satisfaction in the long term if he thinks what he\u2019s doing is getting you off. If you\u2019ve got a partner who\u2019s truly interested in pleasing you, and you\u2019re a big fan of pleasure yourself, let them know what it takes to\u00a0reach your big O<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Women Report 4 Sex Partners in their Lifetime. Men Report 7<\/h2>\n

<\/b>The American Centers for Disease Control estimate that women\u2019s total median of lifetime sexual partners is 4 compared to a man\u2019s 7, but there\u2019s a bit more to this stat than first meets the eye.<\/p>\n

First off, men are much more likely to exaggerate when it comes to sex compared to women, but this is in part due to what an individual\u2019s definition of \u2018sex\u2019 even is in the first place. Women tend to have a more complex relationship with sex and intimacy than men, making their definition a bit more involved and harder-defined. In any case, it\u2019s worth keeping in mind that these figures are medians, meaning there are more or less on either side.<\/p>\n
