The Lovehoney Shootout Survey
More than 1,000 ejaculations later, the results of Britain's first ever hands-on male masturbation survey are in! We wanted to find out the average number of strokes it takes a guy to ejaculate when he masturbates. The Shootout Survey was a rigorous scientific study that involved more than 1,000 participants.
To help with the research, we sent every subject a sachet of Stroke 29, the masturbation cream that changes consistency on the 29th stroke. Would our subjects keep going past the fabled 29th stroke, or would they pop their peanuts before reaching double digits?
Respondents were asked to bash the bishop and then return to the Shootout Survey Web site to complete an exhaustive questionnaire which asked a series of probing questions about the length and style of the manual manipulation.

The shock news is that straight men last longer than gay men. Who would have thought it? Certainly not us (we don't think much about anything).
And left-handers have been edged out by right-handers in the effort to be the most long-lasting self-loving lotharios.
