To evaluate whether the presence of sexual problems in men (i.e., erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or delayed ejaculation) is associated with differential sexual behavior during masturbation and partnered sex.
Cisgender participants (n = 2,807) completed an internet-based, cross-sectional questionnaire about sexual interest, behavior, and functioning.
Men with premature ejaculation were less likely to engage in foreplay-type behaviors, whereas men with erectile dysfunction or delayed ejaculation were more likely to include self-stimulation and/or other stimulation strategies during partnered sex.
Different behavioral patterns among dysfunctional men represent potential strategies for modulating sexual arousal levels.
