[Tex/LaTex] How to indent the whole paragraph instead of only one line

Question

To comply with the braindead thesis style guide for my university, I need to be able to indent a whole paragraph using the same indentation level that is used to indent the first line in regular paragraphs. The following Libreoffice screenshot shows what I want:

Note how the indentation for all the lines in the first paragraph is the same as the indentation for the first line of the second paragraph. How can I obtain a similar layout in Latex?

I'm aware of this similar question but all the answers there involve indenting by a known quantity and I don't know how big the regular paragraph indentation is.

Here is the source for the Latex that I want to tweak:

\documentclass[]{minimal}

\newcommand{\lorem}{%
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum
}

\begin{document}

\lorem \\
\vspace*{1em} \\
\lorem \\

\end{document}

You can use a list (many paragraphs and more semantic) or set \leftskip

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]

\begin{list}{}{\leftmargin=\parindent\rightmargin=0pt}
\item
\lipsum[1]
\end{list}

\leftskip=\parindent \noindent\lipsum[1]

\end{document}
