Average Foreplay- 19.7 Minutes

Durex Condoms surveys more than 350,000 people from 41 countries around the world about their sexual behavior. From vibrator use to who gets crowned the sexiest female celebrity in the world, the folks at Durex seem to have all bases covered in their Global Sex Survey.

Most interesting, perhaps, is the question of how much time couples across the world dedicate to foreplay. Here's what the survey found:

On average, people across the world spend 19.7 minutes on foreplay, with men claiming to spend 20.2 minutes and women spending 18.8 minutes.

The younger age groups take the longest -- 21.6 minutes for 16- to 20-year-olds and 19.1 minutes for 21- to 24-year-olds, compared to 17.3 minutes for people over 55.

The British spend the most time on foreplay (22.5 minutes), followed closely by the Germans (22.2), the Irish (21.8) and the Spanish (21.7). Thais spend the least amount of time (11.5 minutes).

Also ranking pretty low were Hong Kong (14.2) and the Vietnamese (15.2).

The United States ranked No. 17 out of 41 countries. The survey says Americans spend an average of 19.7 minutes on pre-intercourse canoodling.
