- Here are some numbers. The average duration of human copulation is about
- four minutes. This compares quite favorably to our close cousins, the
- chimpanzee and gorilla, who clock in at about one minute. However, our
- more distant cousin, the orangutan, manages about twenty minutes on average.
- (Orangs also prefer to copulate in the trees rather than on the ground.)
- Among mammals, though, the record-holder is some rodent at twelve hours!
