Delayed Ejaculation Due to Improper Male Condom Size: A Case Report

Abstract

Introduction: Delayed ejaculation (DE) is a poorly understood and uncommon male sexual dysfunction. The etiology of DE includes psychological and biological factors, which are usually combined. Herein, we report a case of acquired and situational DE due to improper male condom size. Aims: To identify and correct the possible cause of acquired and situational DE. Methods: A male patient presented with new-onset DE for 6 months. His physical and mental examination was unremarkable. Laboratory results were all normal. He was diagnosed with acquired, situational DE and received sessions of sexual counseling. However, his DE persisted until he accidentally used a larger condom. He then reported normal orgasm. Main outcome measures: Resolution of acquired and situational DE. Results: His DE was improved after using a more proper condom size. Conclusion: Most patients are believed to have psychological problems and proper condom use is under-recognized. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of DE caused by this etiology.
