Preface
You might be wondering about the title of this little research. For laymen and all
the like, the word here is the good ol' meat whacking, jerking off or just simply
masturbation. I have wanted to do some research about this for a while now and
finally took my eyes off my dick and aimed them at a piece of paper (no, not that
kind of paper) and a stop watch. Plan was to create just a little chart for my own
use, but look at where we're now. Time for some research.
For anyone that might be disgusted about the idea of the author explaining
his or her sex life in detail, make note that the data collected for this document
was from strictly anonymous sources, unrelated to the author in any way. I went
through plenty of different charts and picked the one that is the most average and
illustrative for this research.
tldr; Everything in this document is written from an objective viewpoint and all
data collected is from anonymous sources unrelated to the author.
Introduction
The preface out of the way, let's start defining what is this all about. The main
themes discussed in this paper are sexuality, orgasms and masturbation. These
subjects are sadly still fairly taboo, although much progress has been made since
Alfred Kinsey ignited the spark. From a scientific standpoint, sexuality is also
somewhat hard to study objectively and accurately because it branches off
psychology and biology. The field is deeply overlaid with moral precept, long
established behavior patterns and intimacy. However, science must be made and
these are particularly interesting subjects not only for studying, but also for
personal benefit. Now let us move on...
I'm sure the vast majority of self-pleasuring population has occasionally
pondered what makes one sexual experience better than other. In seemingly
similar situations, the outcome may vary greatly. More specifically, if people
were asked what affects on the magnitude of one's orgasm, the list of most
popular things might contain these:
* Sexual arousal & psychological state
Arousal may sound obvious but there are many different states of arousal
and they definitely affect on the outcome differently. Changes in
psychological states (moods for one) may also have an effect.
* Technique
This is an art of it's own: Sitting, standing, upside down; one-handed,
two-handed, finding the "sweet spots", achieving dry orgasm et cetera.
The list knows no bounds. Definitely affects on the magnitude of the
climax.

* Length of the act
This is more vague: Does longer act automatically mean better orgasm?
What are the upper bounds, after which the pleasure remains constant or
starts to drop? Can a so called "quickie" still be a 10/10 on a scale
measuring pleasure?
* Physiological attributes
For example, circumcision, genital hair and exhaustion all play their part.
Hormonal changes may probably have an effect too, at least for females.
Data collected for this study was unfortunately from males only, though
the data suggested that there might be hormonal (or other) fluctuations
that affect male sexuality. Data collecting period lasted only for about a
month, so further research on this matter is required.
Analysis on claim: "Longer act assures better sexual climax".
All right, besides the questions accounted above this sounds still like a
valid hypothesis. There are, however, some things to point out. Each item on the list
above should be able to change the magnitude of an orgasm individually. That said,
if every other item on the list stayed the same, and only the time used to achieve
orgasm changed, would it have an effect on the result?
Let's have a look at the graph which depicts the correlation between time used and
rating of the act (rating was from y={0..5} and x-axis represents sampling size,
which was 51):
Graph 1: all data gathered during 34 days period sorted by the length of the act
As we can see, ratings vary about as much on long acts as on short acts.
Although the times measured were only about 10-20 minutes apart at most, there
was a slight correlation between better orgasms and longer act when the act

lasted from 3 to 20 minutes. The difference between highest and lowest point of
the trend line was about 0,4 units.
Graph 2: all data gathered during 34 days period in chronological order
What is interesting about this graph, is that it seems that the orange trend line
inclines while the blue trend line declines. In other words; faster the better. In
this graph rating fluctuates for about 0,8 units. This seems to be in direct conflict
with the first graph. How can ratings incline at the same time as time used
inclines and declines? The answer is simple: there's no conflict. It is crucial to
understand, that the variations are big enough that the order of sampling nodes
affect on the trend lines as well as the coincidences of high and low values. If the
most extreme values are discarded there is no correlation in graph 1 and 2
between rating and time used.
Graph 3: most extreme values removed from graph 1, when x={3...49}

Graph 4: removed coincidental streaks and inaccuracies from both ends, x={8..44} from
graph 2
As we can see from graphs 3 and 4, there is no correlation whatsoever between
rating and time used. It is probably safe to assume that the results would also be
similar with larger variations of time used.
Scientific conclusions aside there may be a sign of a male hormonal/brain
chemistry fluctuation, as hypothesized earlier if looked into short time periods in
the end of graph 2 (bunch of 4,5-5 ratings without normal fluctuation), but with
these condensed results it is way too early to make any conclusions. There is also
a possibility, that the measurement scale has changed due to difficulties in
objectively measuring one's climaxes. Error margin of these graphs is about +-0,
25.
On the other hand, the claim about "better orgasm/longer act"-correlation
might have some truth in it: longer act can be perceived as teasing or more
arousing, at which point it affects the psychological state (listed first). The
mental relief after holding the orgasm for long can consequently improve the
sexual climax, as so does heightened arousal.
Recap
That concludes our research about time-climax-correlation. To recap, study
proposed that length of the act alone does not affect on the magnitude of an
orgasm. There is no visible indication that longer act would affect the outcome at
all.
However, it is possible that longer act can raise arousal or affect psychological
state, which then in some cases may lead to better orgasm.
Bottom line; to affect on the outcome of the climax an action must have effect on
either mind, body, or technique.
