Influenced by often unrealistic portrayals in pornography, many partners mistakenly believe extended intercourse is key to satisfaction. Hocking’s recent findings, initially shared with news.com.au, suggest a shift in focus toward quality and connection may be welcomed in the bedroom.
SYDNEY – Conventional wisdom about ideal sexual encounters is often shaped by unrealistic expectations, but a relationship expert is challenging those notions. Jana Hocking recently revealed a surprising preference among women that could come as a relief to many men.
Sex is a natural part of any relationship, but ideas about what constitutes a “good” experience are frequently distorted by exposure to pornography. That’s why dating and relationship expert Jana Hocking is highlighting a key fact about sex that may surprise – and reassure – many men.

Shorter Encounters Are Preferred
“I’m going to share something with you that could significantly improve your perspective on your performance in the bedroom,” Hocking wrote in an article for news.com.au. She posed a simple question to her female friends: would they prefer sex lasting 30 seconds, or a marathon session lasting an hour? The response was overwhelmingly in favor of the shorter option.
According to Hocking, this is actually a compliment. Many men, influenced by pornography, believe that quality sex must last as long as possible. However, the reality is often different. “Women, in most cases, prioritize quality over quantity. Even a short, intense experience can be incredibly satisfying,” the expert explains. This revelation could ease pressure and allow for more relaxed intimacy.
The Importance of Foreplay
One of the main reasons, she says, is that foreplay is often underestimated. Hocking advises men to dedicate more time to it and avoid rushing into intercourse. She also recommends varying positions and settings, as a quick encounter doesn’t have to be monotonous. Shorter sex is also less stressful – the pressure to perform is reduced, and partners can enjoy the moment more fully.
Another benefit is the possibility of more frequent intimacy, as fatigue from a “sexual marathon” is less likely. Quick encounters also empower women to take the initiative and shed outdated notions of a passive role in sex. “A rapid orgasm can be just as powerful, sometimes even better,” she adds. Ultimately, her message is clear: it’s not about how long sex lasts, but how you feel during it. “If you’re stressing about performance next time, remember that shorter sex might be exactly what your partner appreciates,” the expert concludes.
