Premature ejaculation (PE) prevalence can vary according to different definitions, assessment methods and populational demographics and culture. To investigate the differences between men classified as having “probable PE” (PEDT≥11), “possible PE” (PEDT = 9 or 10) or “no PE” (PEDT≤8) according to th...

Description
Summary:Premature ejaculation (PE) prevalence can vary according to different definitions, assessment methods and populational demographics and culture. To investigate the differences between men classified as having “probable PE” (PEDT≥11), “possible PE” (PEDT = 9 or 10) or “no PE” (PEDT≤8) according to the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) criteria in regard to sociodemographic characteristics, and sexual and relational behavior. To assess the agreement of prevalence of PE according to 3 assessment methods: (i) the ejaculation latency time (ELT) according to the participant's memory; (ii) PEDT and (iii) a direct question about the self-perception of ejaculation as being normal, too early (premature) or retarded. In this web-based cross-sectional study, men aged ≥ 18 years living in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil, responded anonymously to an online survey. We used multinomial regression to estimate the association between PE according PEDT criteria and other features and the kappa coefficient to estimate agreement between the assessment methods. Association between PEDT-PE, sociodemographic characteristics and sexual and relational behaviors; agreement between PEDT, ELT and self-perception of PE.
