Lions mate about once every twenty minutes. Females are in heat for only a brief period of about 4 days, so that's the only time that leads to pregnancy. But both the males and females seem to willing and anxious almost constantly. Sex for a lion lasts for less than a minute, usually. Lions often groom one another for long periods between sexual encounters, and this may be some sort of foreplay. But the sex act itself is over rather rapidly.
Male lions can mate as often as they want to. Females come into 'season' twice a year.

Lions Mate like any other mammal dose it dose it out in the open and the nale wil gently bite the neck of the femaile to give him more controll and to keep her calm and on false move during mateing and the female will get aggressive and start clawing him of pounce on him to warn him not to do it again. Hope this helps

Up to 100 times. The act only lasts between one and two minutes.

10 to 15 years in the wild. 20 or more in captivity.

Note: Domestic felines have the same general lifespan of big cats in the wild, generally 10-20 years.

When a female lion (or lioness) comes into season, it is said she will mate around every 20 minutes. The lioness is usually in season for 3 to 7 days.

Lions do not have a mating season. Females can come into heat at any time during the year.
