This has just appeared in my Twitter feed.

The average 78 year old has spent 3 months of their life waiting, 4 years cleaning and 16 hours having orgasms.

Discuss grin

The average person must have been severely deprived then! 16 hours!

I've calculated that to be approximately 11 per week over a period of 50 years.

Surely that's not bad?

By my calculations it works out at 19.2 minutes-worth of orgasms per year over a 50 year period. Presumably it would start off at a rather higher rate earlier in life and decline....!

it's the cleaning that bothers me. What a waste of time! could have used that time to 'up' the next statistic!

How long have you allowed for each orgasm? And why only 50 years - surely most people start experiencing orgasms long before they are 28 - I would guess at 14. It doesn't say these orgasms have to be shared with anyone.
Even allowing only 2 minutes per orgasm and assuming you have some 'off' days and your rate slows down with age, I would calculate some 12 hours a year for about 64 years, so nearer 750 hours than 16.

It's only a Twitter feed, Greatnan. No need to get excercised about it...hmm

I wondered how much of the 3 months waiting time was waiting for an orgasm?

Greatnan Wed 22-Aug-12 06:38:29

Anagram - you have misinterpreted my mood! I am not exercised about it, I am merely amused.

petallus Wed 22-Aug-12 07:10:02

Greatnan two minutes per orgasm?

I only allowed 10 seconds (that's for the actual event)

Feel cheated now grin

Perhaps all the cleaning was done to ward off frustration? My house is a tip and I seldom wait - I usually wander off and do something else. Still I'm only 64 so am I looking forward to a steep decline in my expectations?

petallus Wed 22-Aug-12 07:11:02

Just to emphasise the point, I wasn't including foreplay in the 10 seconds grin

Notsogrand Wed 22-Aug-12 07:26:42

That would double the time wouldn't it petallus? If you're lucky. grin

I guess I got lucky with my husband and then my long term partner.smile
