New Term: The “Cinderella Rule” . . . the Cut-Off Time for Bedtime Fun

There’s a new term making the rounds called the “Cinderella Rule.”  It’s establishing a “cut-off” time for relations to start on any given night . . . or weeknight . . . so that you don’t have to worry about being tired the next day.

For example, you could have a Cinderella Rule with your partner that the cut-off time is:  10:30 P.M. Because you’ll “turn into a pumpkin” by 11:00 P.M. 

One stat claims that the optimal duration for messing around is “23 minutes and 45 seconds” . . . so 10:30 would mean you could finish and be ready for lights out and sleep by 11:00.

Of course, every couple is different.  Some people have earlier wake-up times than others . . . need more sleep than others . . . or only need to boogie for like two minutes before they’re done.  (

Obviously, the Cinderella Rule works easily with scheduled sex . . . but it’s possible to do it and STILL be spontaneous.

If you previously agreed on a cut-off time . . . when if you’re in the mood, you can give some indications that it’s in the cards . . . as long as there’s ample time under the Cinderella Rule.

One person says this “worked wonders” for them . . . because it’s hard to get spicy in the moment, because they’re both so busy with family stuff, work stuff, and household chores . . . and this establishes a window to work within.
