“…Previous studies have demonstrated the accuracy of the IIEF-5© in diagnosing ED compared to the self-reported claims of the sufferers. 16,17 The sample size was calculated using a one-mean formula, as the dependent variables (perceived susceptibility and perceived severity) were continuous data. Authors estimated the sample size based on assumed mean sum score and standard deviation of perceived susceptibility of 2.61 and 1.2, respectively, and for perceived susceptibility of 9.71 and 2.8, respectively.…”

Risk perception for developing erectile dysfunction (ED) is an appreciation of the susceptibility to having ED and its severity. This study examined this risk perception and its associated factors among 180 men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who claimed not to have ED. This cross sectional study was conducted at a public health clinic using a validated self-administered questionnaire, which assessed participant characteristics, perceived susceptibility to developing ED, perceived severity of ED, and knowledge on risk factors for ED. About 71.1% had an inaccurate perception of susceptibility to developing ED and their perception on its severity was moderate (median (IQR) score: 10.0 (6.0); range score: 3–15; midpoint: 9). In multiple linear regression, having ED symptoms (p-value < 0.001) and secondary (p-value = 0.045) or tertiary education (p-value: 0.022) significantly contributed to a higher perception of susceptibility. A higher perception of severity was significantly found in Malays (p-value < 0.001), the employed (p-value = 0.026), and those with better knowledge on risk factors for ED (p-value < 0.001). Risk perception for developing ED among men with T2DM appears poor and it was significantly influenced by sociocultural factors, educational attainment, ED symptoms, and knowledge on risk factors for ED. Thus, to improve their risk perception, they should be provided appropriate counseling and education.

“…The results from this analysis have already been published. 10 The men also gave answers to questions about their own perception of aspects of their personal lives and bodies, such as sexual life, length of relationship with their partner, satisfaction, attraction towards their partner, sexually potency, erection and the satisfaction with their own body and penis size.…”

“…We recently communicated the results from a cross-sectional study on the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in men who considered themselves healthy (they were not recruited in hospitals or clinics, and they were healthy enough to be blood donors) and who were not seeking diagnoses or self-information on sexual behavior or function. That study 10 revealed an opportunity to investigate whether those men were satisfied with their penis size. The present study is thus a specific analysis on the previous database.…”

Perceptions about penis size among supposedly healthy 40 to 60-year-old Brazilian men: a cross-sectional pilot study Percepções ABSTRACTCONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Many men seek medical treatments complaining that their penises are too small (short) when in fact they are not (they are not cases of micropenis). The objective of the present study was to evaluate men's satisfaction with their own bodies and sex life and the prevalence of erectile dysfunction, among men who were not seeking medical or psychological advice. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study in a private, philanthropic hospital in São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS:In this study, 300 male blood donors aged between 40 and 60 years old answered a questionnaire, in privacy, about their sex life and their satisfaction with their own bodies. They were also screened for erectile dysfunction by means of the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire. RESULTS: Seven men (2.3%) reported that they were dissatisfied with their penis size (they thought that it was small), and among these, one was found to have mild erectile dysfunction. However, none of them had sought medical attention. Among these seven, only two had normal body mass index; the other five were overweight (three) or obese (two

“…The studies conducted until the 1990s in general used convenience samples of health service users or people recruited in public spaces, and this approach may lead to prevalence overestimation because of self-selection or recruitment of individuals in worse health situations. 8 Since the 1980s, there has been a reduction in the response rate to prevalence studies and an increase in costs of conducting studies in general. 9 These factors and the increase in the use of internet from the second half of the decade 10 led researchers to conduct studies on the prevalence of PE using the internet for sampling, recruitment and data collection procedures, with the possibility of including large samples and participants residing in different parts of the world.…”

Background: Premature ejaculation (PE) prevalence can vary according to different definitions, assessment methods and populational demographics and culture. Aims: To investigate the differences between men classified as having "probable PE" (PEDT≥11), "possible PE" (PEDT = 9 or 10) or "no PE" (PEDT≤8) according to the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) criteria in regard to sociodemographic characteristics, and sexual and relational behavior. To assess the agreement of prevalence of PE according to 3 assessment methods: (i) the ejaculation latency time (ELT) according to the participant's memory; (ii) PEDT and (iii) a direct question about the self-perception of ejaculation as being normal, too early (premature) or retarded. Methods: In this web-based cross-sectional study, men aged ≥ 18 years living in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil, responded anonymously to an online survey. We used multinomial regression to estimate the association between PE according PEDT criteria and other features and the kappa coefficient to estimate agreement between the assessment methods. Outcomes: Association between PEDT-PE, sociodemographic characteristics and sexual and relational behaviors; agreement between PEDT, ELT and self-perception of PE. Results: Obesity, trying to hold back ejaculation, short or nonexistent foreplay and age <30 years were associated with PEDT ≥11. Men who considered that latency was shorter for oral, anal and vaginal sex than for masturbation were more likely to have probable PE according to PEDT. Possible PE (PEDT scores 9/10) was associated with trying to hold back ejaculation and considering time for ejaculation shorter for vaginal sex. There was fair agreement between assessments (kappa 0.39; CI:0.28 −0.42; P < .001). Conclusion: PE prevalence varies according to instruments and cut-offs used, with fair agreement between them. This finding shows that the methods evaluate different aspects of the EP syndrome and they must be combined to allow the discrimination between the different types of PE and treatments. Clinical approaches should consider the sexual behavior and relationship of the patient and their distress.
