Abstract

Objective The aim was to explore sexual dysfunction in partners of men with premature ejaculation (PE). Background Female partners of men with PE report significantly greater sexual problems. Patients and methods This cross-sectional study included 200 married women. This study was performed on married women in Menoufia Governorate in the period from June 2019 till September 2019. Results The finding of the study indicated that female partners of men with PE reported significantly greater sexual problems. The majority of them (36.0%) had sexual intercourse for pleasure of their husband. Overall, 40.0% of cases infrequently felt sexual desire or interest during sexual intercourse. Moreover, 39.5% of cases infrequently (less than half the time) felt sexually aroused during sexual activity or intercourse. The majority of the cases (75.5%) had moderate satisfaction of their sexual life. In addition, 55% of them frequently felt dissatisfied with their sexual life, and 46.0% of them frequently felt bothered by their partner's PE. In 64.5% of cases, lack of control of their partner over his ejaculation causes distress in both of them. Furthermore, 45.0% of cases were moderately distressed because of his lack of ejaculatory control, and 40.0% of cases stated their partner was very focused on delaying his ejaculation that he ignores their other sexual needs. Overall, 40.5% considered ejaculatory pattern very much affected their levels of intimacy. Conclusion Female sexual dysfunction is commonly seen in women with male partners who have PE, and female sexual functions may be affected by male erection status.
