Ever wondered if your bedroom sessions are too short—or maybe way too long? You’re not alone. In this episode, we break down the difference between how long sex actually lasts versus how long we wish it would. Hollywood and porn have set some seriously unrealistic expectations, making us think that anything under 30 minutes is a failure. But is that even what most people want? We’re talking real stats, personal experiences, and the truth about why sometimes, a quickie is all you need (and other times, you’re hoping for an all-nighter). Plus, we dive into a Grazia magazine article that spills the tea on what people really think about the ideal bedroom duration.
But let’s be honest—does anyone really have the time or energy for an hour-long session on a Tuesday night? We dive into the factors that impact sexual endurance, from stress and lifestyle to technique and connection. Is there a magic number for the perfect amount of time in bed, or does it all come down to what works for you and your partner? Tune in as we get real about expectations versus reality and why quality always beats quantity when it comes to great sex!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
