Ejaculation delay is the amount of time a man waits before he ejaculates. It changes a lot and is personal. Most of the time, studies show that it takes between 5 and 7 minutes from entry to ejaculation. There is, however, a lot of variation, and the standard time can be anywhere from a few minutes to a lot longer.

Men who regularly ejaculate before they want to or before their partner wants them to are said to be prematurely ejaculating. Delayed ejaculation, on the other hand, happens when it takes a long time to reach peak.

It's important to know that the length of a sexual encounter is not the only thing that determines sexual pleasure. A successful sexual relationship includes talking to your partner openly, focusing on your shared pleasure, and seeing a doctor if you have worries about your sexual function.
