People in New Mexico do it for just over seven minutes on average. Alaskans aren’t nearly so patient: the coldest state also has the shortest sex sessions, clocking in under two minutes. Two minutes is barely enough time to get every article of clothing off! Get it together, Alaska. Then again, maybe Alaskans aren’t even bothering to take their clothes off since the weather is so cold. Here’s the complete list: _1\. New Mexico – (7:01)_ _2\. West Virginia – (5:38)_ _3\.
