Patient's question:
I'm not yet 30 this year, and I've never had a girlfriend before. Recently, I started dating one, but when we had sex, I found that almost as soon as I entered, I felt like I was about to come. If I tried to hold back, I would lose my erection. This made my girlfriend very unhappy with me. I suspect this is premature ejaculation, so I want to understand what exactly constitutes premature ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
The normal duration of sexual activity for a man should be approximately between 20 minutes and 40 minutes. If the duration of sexual activity is consistently longer than 10 minutes, this may indicate premature ejaculation. However, since this is your first time having sexual activity with a woman, a shorter duration is also normal. After all, you haven't had sexual activity before, and it may take some time to get used to the stimulation. As a result, you might ejaculate more quickly. It is recommended that you wait and see for a while to see if the situation improves.
