“…26 Besides, within many previous studies that investigated possible influencing factors for erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation, there were plenty of studies that reported the relationship between “depression/anxiety and changes of sexual function,” which have similar conclusion as the present study. 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 The significance of the results of our study is that during a pandemic disease, even with low mortality rate, decline in sexuality was associated with depression and anxiety by the disease and worse life satisfaction and quality.…”

Introduction There has been no report regarding the impact on male sexual life or sexual function by changes in lifestyle during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic. Aim To investigate the changes in sexual life and sexual function of Chinese men during the COVID-19 epidemic. Methods An online questionnaire was created and the survey was administered through social media to Chinese adult men. Main Outcome Measure The main end point was the deteriorated erectile function or ejaculatory control ability, defined by self-evaluation or by decreased International Index of Erectile Function-5 items (IIEF-5) scores or increased premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT) scores. Results Altogether, 612 questionnaires were collected. About 322 (52.6%) subjects were unmarried. About 8.4% and 8.5% subjects reported deteriorated erectile function or ejaculation control ability by self-evaluation, whereas 31.9% and 17.9% subjects showed decreased IIEF-5 scores or increased PEDT scores. Subjects with deteriorated erectile function by self-evaluation and decreased IIEF-5 scores had higher General Anxiety Disorder-7 (P < .001 and P = .001) and higher Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score (P < .001 and P = .002) after the epidemic, decreased frequency of sexual life (P < .001 and P < .001) and physical exercise (P = .009 and .007) after the epidemic. Subjects with deteriorated ejaculation control ability by self-evaluation and increased PEDT scores had higher General Anxiety Disorder-7 (P < .001 and P < .001) and higher Patient Health Questionnaire-9 score (P < .001 and P = .002) after the epidemic. Subjects with decreased frequency of sexual life had reduced income (P < .001), increased anxiety (P < .001) and depression (P < .001). Married subjects had higher proportion of improved depression (P = .048) and increased frequency of sexual life (P = .010). Conclusion During the COVID-19 epidemic, decreased sexual function was present in a certain proportion of adult men, and the risk factors include increased anxiety and depression, and decreased frequency of sexual life.

“…Evidence confirmed erectile dysfunction as an early manifestation of cardio-vascular diseases and environ vascular diseases increases. Erectile dysfunction is not only a living quality issue but also it's a potential sign of cardiovascular diseases [3]. In addition, studies have shown that erectile dysfunction can have a significant impact on the physical and mental health of patients and their spouses [4].…”

“…Androgen decline in males is accompanied by a persistent, ongoing, and progressive aging process [10]. Calzo et al (2021) in a study showed that among sexually active men 11.3% have mild erectile dysfunction and 2.9% have moderate erectile dysfunction with various demographic factors (age, marital status), metabolic (Body mass index, waist circumference, history of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol) and mental health (depression, anxiety, taking antidepressants and sedatives) are associated. The study also found that erectile dysfunction was common in a large sample of young American men and was directly related to mental health [3].…”

“…Nevertheless, ED can lead to decreased self-esteem, emotional distress, higher risk of mental disorders (such as depression and anxiety), relationship problems, as well as low QoL. These consequences further impact erectile function, thus increasing fear of failure and trapping men in a vicious cycle of performance anxiety and sexual dysfunction [ 10 ].…”

Objectives: To highlight the efficacy of various psychological interventions (PI) when used in combination with, or in place of, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE-5i), as compared to the traditional treatment of men with erectile dysfunction (ED) with PDE-5i alone. Methods: A comprehensive literature review for the years 2005-2020 via MEDLINE and PubMed. We included randomised controlled trials that compared the use of either PDE-5i alone, PI alone or a combination of PDE-5i and PI in the treatment of psychogenic ED. All studies included were performed in adults aged 19-55 years and were written in English. Results: A total of 13 articles, with an overall sample of 597 men, were included in this systematic review. The results show that the combination of PI and PDE-5i was more effective than either PI or PDE-5i alone, on erectile function and long-term sexual satisfaction in men with psychogenic ED. Combined interventions were found to be significantly superior to medical treatment in seven studies and to PI alone in one study. In comparing PI to PDE-5i, two studies found PI to be significantly superior to PDE-5i use. In three other studies, PI was found significantly superior to no treatment at all, although some participants in the control group had taken PDE-5i. Conclusions: The combination of PDE-5i with PI shows real promise for the treatment of psychogenic ED. However, no conclusions could be made about what PI is more promising than the other and larger studies are needed to confirm these initial findings.
