A recent survey of sex therapists reveals that 3-13 minutes is ideal. One researcher wanted to refute the notion that "more of something good is better, and if you really want to satisfy your partner, you should last forever."</description><link>http://www.newser.com/story/23261/quickies-are-the-way-to-go.html?refid=rss_all_default</link><pubDate>Fri, 04 Apr 2008 18:37:41 CDT</pubDate></item><item><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.newser.com/story/76817/americans-learn-the-global-art-of-the-cheek-kiss.html?refid=rss_all_default</guid><title>Americans Learn The Global Art Of the Cheek Kiss</title><description>Shake hands?
