HEALTH. Here's news for men who think they need to go longer at it to please their women lovers: Findings to be published in the May issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine say that a survey of sex therapists concluded the optimal amount of time for sexual intercourse was 3 to 13 minutes. This completely negates the popular notion that endurance is the key to a great sex life. The 3-minutes doesn't count foreplay, of course because the therapists also rated intercourse lasting from a minute or two as too short. Prior research revealed that men and women want foreplay and sexual intercourse to last longer. Editor of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, Dr. Irwin Goldstein, cited a four-week study of 1,500 couples in 2005 that found the median time for sexual intercourse was 7.3 minutes. (Women in the study were armed with stopwatches.)
Here at home. in a case of illegal warehousing activity, a warehouse in Mandaue City was raided Wednesday and was found to store an estimated 30,000 sacks of rice from Vietnam.
Businessman Regan King, who confirmed owning the shipment in a separate interview, said the rice importation and its storage at the warehouse were above-board.
He lambasted the government agencies involved in the raid, saying they are only delaying the release of the rice and compounding the supply shortage that is driving prices up. [SSD]
King's warehouse was not among those authorized by NFA for rice storage and warehousing.
Meanwhile, NFA retailers are being monitored to make sure they sell government-subsidized rice to indigent families, amid worries that hoarding will create an artificial shortage that pushes prices upward.
The NFA revealed yesterday that at least 24 rice retailers under the Tindahan ni Gloria and Bigasan ng Bayan program have been suspended pending investigation.
The violations include alleged overpricing and the sudden disappearance of supplies. [SSD]
