When informed of that statistic and asked to comment, actor Mehmet Günsür said, "Sometimes it lasts for hours, other times just seconds. You can't generalize about it." The Survey states further that the percentage of lovers who indulge in such 'preamble' activity every time they engage in whoopie was highest in the Aegean region (61.5%). However, Aegean region lovers also win the dubious Quickies Award -- as 33% of those polled in the region reported total coupling durations of between 6 to 10 minutes (including 3 to 5 minutes of 'preamble'). Deep in central Anatolia, 'preamble' to making whoopie only occurs in 39.5% of cases. In the Marmara Region, 10% of lovers indulge in it for 21-30 minutes. Whoopie makers in the Karadeniz Region spend a maximum of 10 minutes with 'preamble', but they capture the Total Whoopie Duration Trophy -- logging 21 to 30 minutes per 'session'. Those who live in metropolitan areas (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, etc.) are more attuned to foreplay -- spending 11-20 minutes at a time. Whoopie making sessions for Turks nationwide last an average of 26.2 minutes. And while that average drops to 23.6 minutes for married couples, it rises to 33.3 minutes for single partners. In Part 7: More headlines from the Turkish Kinsey Report -- and more surprising revelations from the Sexuality Survey concerned with Turkish 'afternoon delights', coupling frequency, and fetishes.
