Patient's question:
I am 25 years old this year, and this is my first time dating a girlfriend. We chatted for a long time before she agreed to go to a hotel room. Just thinking about it makes me excited, but then I ended up losing my erection before we even left. I feel so embarrassed, especially since I don't usually have a sex habit. How long does sex have to last to not be considered premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
The sexual duration for a normal adult male typically ranges between 2 to 15 minutes. Generally, if ejaculation occurs within less than one minute after the penis enters the vagina, or if the penis thrusts fewer than 15 times inside the vagina before ejaculation, it can be referred to as premature ejaculation. Since this is your first time having sex and the duration was short, it cannot be definitively diagnosed as premature ejaculation. It is recommended to frequently massage the scrotum directly with your hands to stabilize blood circulation in the testicles. Massage can be done once a day, with each session lasting 2-3 minutes. For individuals with premature ejaculation, timely treatment can help reduce the likelihood of recurrence.
