Characteristics of men who are bothered by rapid ejaculation : results from clinical intake surveys

The objective of this study is to identify factors associated with bother with rapid ejaculation in a cohort of men presenting to a sexual dysfunction clinic, independent of a diagnosis of PE. A prospective institutional database has been maintained on patients completing an 89-item intake questionnaire querying various areas of sexual dysfunction. Regarding ejaculatory dysfunction, patients are asked "Do you feel bothered, annoyed, and/or frustrated by ejaculating too quickly?" Statistical modeling was performed to identify associations. A total of 1359 men completed the intake survey, and 694 responded to the question on bother with rapid ejaculation. Overall, 42.9% (298/694) of respondents reported bother with rapid ejaculation. Men reporting bother were more likely to report lower intravaginal ejaculatory latency (IELT) time (4.2 vs 12.2 min, p < 0.0001), problems with depression (32% vs 21%, p = 0.001), negative impact on relationship (73% vs 51%, p < 0.0001), and negative impact on partner's sexual satisfaction (26% vs 15%, p < 0.001). These results highlight the importance of asking all men presenting with sexual health concerns about their bother with rapid ejaculation for complete assessment of sexual and mental wellbeing.
