Premature ejaculation and rapid ejaculation are not the same thing, but they are related and connected. There isn't an absolute standard to distinguish them; it should be judged based on the duration, the number of thrusts, the satisfaction of both parties, the male's ability to control, and the persistence of duration.

How long is considered premature ejaculation?

The definition of premature ejaculation does not have a completely consistent consensus. Generally speaking, if the duration of sexual activity is less than 2 minutes, the number of thrusts is less than 15, more than half of the female partner's sexual experiences do not reach climax, or the male cannot control ejaculation, it is defined as premature ejaculation. However, each individual's situation is different and needs to be considered comprehensively.
