Clinical correlation between erectile function and ejaculatory function in the Czech male population

Abstract

IntroductionThis study explores the relationship between erectile function and ejaculatory function, to inform the clinical psychosexological and sexual medicine practice treatment protocols.Materials and methodsA total of 1,004 Czech males aged between 15 and 84 years (m = 42.8 yrs; sd = 17.6 years) completed a sexual behavior questionnaire. A cross-sectional design was adopted. Erectile function was measured with the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) and ejaculatory function measured using self-report intravaginal ejaculation latency time and the Index of Premature Ejaculation (IPE). Linear regression analyses were used to explore the relationships between premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction.ResultsThe sample mean self-reported intravaginal ejaculatory latency time was 9.34 minutes. The overall mean on the IPE was 19.44 (sd = 2.368). The Control domain mean was 81.13 (sd = 17.22); Sexual Satisfaction domain mean 78.60 (sd = 20.59); and the Distress domain mean was 86.86 (sd = 18.32). The mean score on the IIEF-5 was 19.28 (sd = 2.53). The results indicate a relationship between premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. With age significantly associated with all measures.ConclusionsHigher levels of erectile function are associated with a better control and sexual satisfaction, and less distress about ejaculation. This association supports the consideration of this relationship in the development of new clinical practice guidelines for erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

Population-level prevalence, effect on quality of life, and treatment behavior for erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation in Poland

“…Therefore, our results support recent recommendations based on the new taxonomic clinical entity of the loss of control of erection and ejaculation 33 . Comorbidity of ED and PE has been reported 50 , 51 , and experts hypothesized a vicious cycle of ED and PE 33 . On the one hand, a man striving to control his ejaculation instinctively reduces his level of excitement, leading to ED.…”

“…En un estudio realizado en California, sobre aversión al sexo en 382 estudiantes masculinos de edades comprendidas entre 19 a 25 años, en donde se les aplico un cuestionario sobre aversión al sexo, obteniendo una prevalencia del 10%, lo cual indica que en nuestro estudio se obtuvo una mayor prevalencia de este tipo de trastorno [24]. 26.67% de EP [30] y Karabakan y sus colaboradores en su estudio en 1000 universitarios, encontraron que el 9.2% de ellos presentaron eyaculación precoz, el 6.6% obtuvieron puntuaciones entre 9 y 10 siendo considerados como varones que tenían probabilidad de padecer EP y el 84.2% mostraron puntuaciones iguales o menores a 8 [31]the participants were asked to complete the premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT; igualmente Kamnerdsiri et al, en el año 2018, en la República Checa, indicaron que solo el 4.3% padecían eyaculación precoz según el índice de eyaculación precoz [29].…”

Erectile dysfunction, anxiety, perceived stress, and insomnia are more common among acquired premature ejaculation patients compared to other premature ejaculation syndromes

“…ED is one of the sexual problems encountered by PE patients. 35 Together with the concern of not maintaining an erection, trying to ejaculate immediately or because of PE not being able to obtain an erection for second intercourse, causes these two problems to overlap. This condition was defined by Jannini et al as the vicious circle of PE and ED.…”
