Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Duration of erection is defined as the time from erection perceived hard enough for penetration until withdrawal from the partner’s vagina following successful intercourse. In healthy men, the average duration of sexual intercourse ranges from nine to 10 minutes.

If you can sustain an erection for twenty minutes then you are having a longer duration of erection than most men. Please do not worry about your erection if it lasts twenty minutes long.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
