How long does sexual intercourse last to be considered normal

Patient's question:

I often masturbate (at least once a week, for several years), it seems like it started in my sophomore year of college. In the past, when I had a girlfriend, we had sex more than three times a night, but the duration was very short. Despite persisting, it was usually only 3 to 5 minutes. Sometimes I would orgasm the moment I entered. On several occasions, I would orgasm even before entering. Now, I still masturbate frequently, and for years, I've been feeling a persistent soreness and numbness in the lower left part of my waist.

Doctor's answer:

A normal person usually does not deliberately control it for about 5-10 minutes. You are normal. Don't worry. Try to be more restrained. Generally, in Eastern cultures, if the time of a single sexual encounter is less than 2 minutes, it is considered premature ejaculation. To avoid and treat premature ejaculation, you should approach it from three aspects: first, avoid long-term and frequent masturbation, staying up late, etc., to prevent the loss of kidney essence and the development of kidney deficiency. If kidney deficiency occurs, it is necessary to analyze whether it is yin deficiency or yang deficiency and then provide tonification accordingly. Second, avoid excessive sensitivity of the glans. If sensitivity is indeed excessive, consider undergoing a pudendal nerve blocking surgery. Third, relax your mind, do not have psychological pressure about premature ejaculation, and do not give yourself negative suggestions. By doing the above three aspects, you generally will not suffer from premature ejaculation.
