Patient's question:
Doctor, I have a very embarrassing question, and I'd like to ask you. Every time I have sex with my girlfriend, it never lasts less than five minutes. I feel quite insecure about it. Is it considered premature ejaculation if sex lasts less than five minutes? Thank you for your explanation.Doctor's answer:
During sexual activity with my girlfriend, if the duration does not exceed 5 minutes each time, I feel quite insecure. However, not exceeding 5 minutes does not qualify as premature ejaculation. True premature ejaculation refers to ejaculation before penetrating the vagina or shortly after insertion with just a few thrusts. If this situation occurs again, you can use multiple condoms or apply topical lidocaine gel to the glans to reduce sensitivity, thereby prolonging the duration of sexual activity.
