Traumatic masturbation syndrome may be an important cause of erectile dysfunction in pre-mature ejaculation patients

© 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbH..

We aimed to investigate of whether atypical masturbation behaviour is a pre-disposing factor in ED aetiology in pre-mature ejaculation (PE) patients. In addition to demographic data, self-estimated intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) was prospectively questioned in 2,572 patients between the ages of 18 and 60 who applied with the complaint of pre-mature ejaculation between March 2018 and May 2020. The masturbation habits of the patients were questioned with open-ended questions. After the exclusion criteria, 1,819 patients were evaluated. One thousand one hundred-fifty (63.2%) of patients were classified as lifelong PE, 369 (20.3%) were acquired PE, while 300 (16.5%) were natural-variable PE. According to the IIEF score, 714 patients (39.3%) had ED associated with PE. Eighty-eight per cent of men declared that they had masturbated in the last 4 weeks. Atypical masturbatory behaviours such as 'through clothes' and 'rubbing in prone position' were significantly higher in patients with ED (13% vs. 9%, p = .04 and 11% vs. 7%, p = .02 respectively). Atypical masturbatory behaviours are also seen in a significant part of the pre-mature ejaculation population and increase the rate of erectile dysfunction accompanying PE. This situation draws attention to the necessity of questioning masturbation habits, especially in the combination of PE and ED.
