The study also found that men with PE and their female partners had higher ratings of personal distress, interpersonal difficulty with their partner and dissatisfaction with sexual intercourse than couples with male partners unaffected by PE.

The findings appear in the May issue of The Journal of Sexual Medicine. The study included over 200 men with PE and nearly 1 400 without the condition.

This is one of the first studies on PE to address the concerns of female partners, the researchers note. Both men and women were asked to report on a variety of subjective factors.

The study found significant overlap in what experts call "intravaginal ejaculatory latency time" - the time between the start of vaginal intercourse and ejaculation - between men with PE and those without PE. That suggests that this measure may not be sufficient to diagnose PE. Instead, other subjective factors - such as lack of ejaculatory control - may also be valid markers for PE.

PE is the most common sexual dysfunction affecting men and their partners. – (HealthDayNews)
