“…Therefore, patient safety may be at risk if health professionals (a type of human services) are influenced by burnout. Apart from the patient safety, health professionals experiencing burnout are at risk of various psychosocial problems, including personal dysfunction, physical exhaustion, sleep problems, overuse of alcohol and drugs, family arguments, and marital problems [5,17,18].…”

“…Colson et al (2006) study included people aged 35 or older, showing that while foreplay was considered very important, its importance decreased with age. These differences could also be attributed to an overall higher presence of stressing life factors in older men known to affect their sexual function (Papaefstathiou et al, 2020) and, therefore, their satisfaction, or even to more established sexual scripts in older men regarding their ideal, perhaps unful lled, expectation as to the ideal foreplay duration (Miller & Byers, 2004). Finally, we also found that men with paraphilic interest reported higher satisfaction with anal sex.…”

Amongst many psychometric instruments to measure male sexual dysfunctions, the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) stands out for its utility and widespread use. However, its internal latent structure lacks consistency across studies. Furthermore, studies have yet to address its measurement invariance evidence. Moreover, no formal validation of the IIEF has been conducted in Chile. Therefore, the following study aimed to comprehensively evaluate its psychometric evidence in a Chilean sample of men and determine its measurement invariance across relationship status, age groups, and paraphilic interests. A sample of 650 sexually active males was derived from a broader Chilean study (CSSS). We used a confirmatory factor analysis to determine its structural validity, sexual satisfaction dimensions to establish its criterion-related validity, and Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega to assess the reliability of its scores. Results supported the five-factor latent solution. Meanwhile, criterion-related validity revealed subtle yet significant differences in sexual satisfaction, with younger men displaying higher satisfaction in various sexual domains, whereas middle-aged men and those in a relationship showed better sexual function. Finally, the IIEF was invariant across relationship status, age groups, and paraphilic interests at the factor covariance level. Limitations included a lack of clinical population and a sample predominantly younger, cisgender, and heterosexual. Altogether, this study highlights the IIEF's suitability for assessing male sexual function in Chilean male populations across diverse sociodemographic characteristics. Future research efforts should focus on expanding sample diversity, including clinical populations.

“…Among sub-fertile men, only about 23% professionals reported high frequency of MESI (16 -20) compared to about 54% of entrepreneurs while no sub-fertile man who commonly drinks reported high frequency of MESI. To buttress these findings, Papaefstathiou et al [17] reported that, among males, personal burnout, hypertension, and alcohol consumption correlated independently with erectile dysfunction (p = 0.001) and reduced total sa-…”

Introduction: In humans, the ideal ejaculation frequency depends on age, exercise and sexual potential. Natural ejaculation frequency balances the testosterone levels in the body. Materials and Methods: Semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect information from subjects. Semen samples were collected from sperm donors and sub-fertile men who presented for infertility challenges. Processing and analysis of semen samples were done according to World Health Organization guidelines. Sperm DNA fragmentation was evaluated using the Halosperm® kit. Results: A total of 114 subjects, including 19 sperm donors and 95 sub-fertile males were studied. There was a significant difference (t = −5.96, P-value = 0.00001) in the mean [±sd] age of sperm donors (30.8 [8.1]) and that of sub-fertile men (42.3 [76]). There was a significant difference (t= −4.10, P-value = 0.0005) in the mean monthly ejaculation during sexual intercourse (MESI) among sperm donors with DNA fragmentation index < 25% (3.0 [1.0]) compared to those with DNA fragmentation index ≥ 25% (9.3 [5.5]). There was also a significant difference (t= −2.20, P-value = 0.02) in MESI among sub-fertile men aged ≥40 years (8.9 [4.6]) than among those aged <40 years (10.8 [3.8]). Entrepreneurs (59.3%) and non-smokers (84.6%) reported higher frequency (16-20) of MESI than others. There was a significant but negative correlation between frequency of MESI and DNA fragmentation index category (coef.
