Sexuality
1. Some women want to have babies -- feel compelled, driven, even -- and so they will seek intercourse with a male for this reason, to accomplish this.
2. Some women, for their own reasons, like or enjoy intercourse with a male of their choosing.
3. Some women will engage in sexual intercourse with a male for various other reasons -- reasons other than their own pleasure or desire.
4. Some women do not want or desire sexual intercourse with any man, at any time, and therefore avoid it. This does not mean that they do not want or enjoy the company of men, just no sex.
As this relates to a specific relationship between a man and woman, this constitutes a very small proportion of their lives, perhaps 1.5%. [Minutes in a year = 525,600 min/yr. Duration of average sexual encounter = 60 min. Duration of encounters per year = 5x52x30 min = 7,800. % engaged = 7,800/525,600 < 1.5%] The rest of the time (98.5%) is spent making a life together or not.
For those who believe that sex is only for procreation, 30 minutes in a 40-year marriage is 0.00015% (fifteen one hundred thousandths of a percent; 30 minutes out of 21,024,000 minutes).
The duration of the act (here, 30 min.) depends on how it is measured: Commencement to male orgasm. Commencement to female "orgasm". Commencement to when both decide it is done.
Perhaps the issue is that males have a too-restricted notion of their sexuality, primarily centered around female manipulation of their penis; which suggests that it is males who have a impoverished or limited or unimaginative understanding of their sexuality.
