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.

Is dorsal nerve blocking surgery good for premature ejaculation?

Dorsal penile nerve block surgery involves selectively severing some branches of the dorsal nerve of the penis. Its main risks are that if too few nerves are cut, it may not achieve the therapeutic purpose, and if too many are cut, it could affect the erectile function of the penis, resulting in impotence, or even cause numbness or dullness in the local area, leading to an inability to ejaculate. Therefore, dorsal penile nerve block surgery should be cautiously considered and not used as a routine method for treating premature ejaculation.
