INTRODUCTION
Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most common male sexual dysfunction affecting men and their partners. Lack of community-based data describing this condition limits understanding of PE and its outcomes.
AIM
To characterize PE in a large population of men with and without PE using patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures elicited from men and their partners.
METHODS
4-week, multicenter, observational study of males (> or =18 years) and their female partners in monogamous…

Psychological impact of premature ejaculation and barriers to its recognition and treatment
- Psychology, MedicineCurrent medical research and opinion
- 2011
The psychological distress associated with PE suggests the appropriateness of at least minimal counseling for couples, and limited data are available to support a combined psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic treatment approach, the paucity of well-designed psychotherapy or combination studies represents an important unmet need in the treatment of PE.

PE was a common problem, was characterized by a lack of ejaculatory control, and was associated with significant effects on sexual functioning and satisfaction, and additional research on the sensitivity and specificity of these self-report questions should be pursued.

Results indicated that although the four RE criteria were significantly correlated, the magnitudes of these correlations were small, suggesting that these commonly used RE criteria are largely independent and are not interchangeable and that research in this area needs to adopt a multivariate approach to assessment.
