Premature ejaculation (PE) is a most common sexual dysfunction in males, which variably affects men's reproductive and mental health. Recent studies show that PE affects not only the patients themselves, but also the psychological state of their spouses, which, in turn, may alleviate or aggravate the patients'PE symptoms by different reactions. However, the correlation between PE and female's psychological factors is mostly ignored by the patients and even clinicians in the studies, diagnosis and treatment of PE.

National Journal of Andrology 2003;9(4):243-247
Human sexuality has both its sociological nature and biological nature. Advances in molecular biology has unveiled almost all the biological mysteries of human sexuality. However, many problems in the psychological and sociological aspects have not yet been thoroughly studied. As a matter of fact, these psychological and sociological factors have much influence on sexuality than those biological ones. This paper briefly introduces some factors affecting male sexual psychology, including masturbation and other common sexual psychological dysfunctions.

PURPOSE: Although concerns of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) are increasing in Korea, sexual dysfunction related factors are limited in research studies. The aim of this study was to develop an explanatory model that will further explain the continuously increasing female sexual dysfunction cases in Korea. METHODS: Survey visits were conducted to four hundred and eighty five women, over 25 years of age and presently residing in either urban or rural areas. All of them were analyzed using a structured questionnaire. A total of 8 instruments were used in this model. The analysis of data was done with both SPSS WIN for descriptive statistics and AMOS 5.0 for covariance structure analysis. RESULTS: As a result, variables that showed notably direct effects on FSD were: sexual concept (sexual attitude), sexual distress, and psychosocial health (depression, crisis, traumatic life events). On the other hand, variables such as age, educational level, economic status, and marital status showed indirect influences on health-promoting behaviors. CONCLUSION: By comprehensively addressing the factors related to sexual dysfunction, and comparing each influence, this study can contribute to designing an appropriate sexual dysfunction prevention strategy in tune with the particular characteristics and problems of a client.

On psychological aspect, premature ejaculation in psychosexual dysfunction is generally associated with anxiety. Psychiatrists consider that the treatment of choice for premature ejaculation is directive sextherapy with psychotherapy. We screened psychopathology according to the Symptom Checklist-90-Revision (SCL-90-R) in premature ejaculation group (n=120) and control group (n=92). The rate of abnormal RESULTS of both groups were similar as 5 (4.1%) in patient group and 4 (4.3%) in control group. And there was statistical significance in T scores on 5 symptom dimensions of Obsessive-Compulsive, Interpersonal Sensitivity, Depression, Anxiety and Psychoticism, but all of the T scores of those dimensions were with in the normal range. The psychological personality test does not reflect all of the psychosexual factors. But with the psychological screening, we could find that the psychological factors are not absolutely associated with premature ejaculation.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between sexual dysfunction and chronic prostatitis and investigate the effect of psychologic treatment.
METHODSA total number of 346 patients with chronic prostatitis complicated by sexual dysfunction were randomized into two groups, one treated with routine medication (antibiotic, indomethacin, alpha1 receptor blocker and Chinese traditional medicine), and the other with both routine medication and psychologic treatment. Results were analyzed by comparing NIH-CPSI and IIEF-5 between pre- and post-treatment groups.
RESULTSThe prostatitis symptoms and sexual dysfunction were improved obviously after treatment in the two groups, but compared with the control, more marked improvement was observed in the combined psychologic treatment group (P <0.01). The degree of chronic prostatitis related sexual dysfunction was not correlated with that of prostatitis symptoms.
CONCLUSIONPsychology plays a very important role in chronic prostatitis related sexual dysfunction. Psychologic treatment not only works on the sexual dysfunction, but also improves prostatitis symptoms.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the factors related to sexual dysfunction among breast cancer patients so as to improve the prevention and treatment of the disorder as well as the life quality of the patients.
METHODSSixty-five breast cancer patients during the rehabilitation period were interviewed by questionnaire on the sexual function before and after treatment.
RESULTSAge and perception of sex were two important factors for the significant difference in the rate of sexual dysfunction among the patients. In the groups of 45-55 and 56-65 years, the rates of sexual dysfunction were 66.7% and 73.9%, respectively. Compared with the < 45-year group (33.3%), the findings were statistically significant (P < 0.01), and the difference was statistically significant between the incorrect perception group (70.3%) and the correct one (47.6%) (P < 0.05). Of all the factors analyzed in the research, the stage of cancer, treatment methods, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, dyspareunia and sex perception had significant correlation with newly developed sexual dysfunction (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe stage of cancer, treatment methods, sex perception, vaginal dryness et al had significant correlation with sexual dysfunction of breast cancer patients after treatment. To treat and prevent sexual dysfunction among breast cancer patients, oncology professionals should initiate communication about sexual difficulties, perform comprehensive assessments, and educate and counsel patients about the management of these difficulties.
