Objectives: 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.
Methods: Cisgender participants (n = 2,807) completed an internet-based, cross-sectional questionnaire about sexual interest, behavior, and functioning.
Results: 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.
Conclusions: Different behavioral patterns among dysfunctional men represent potential strategies for modulating sexual arousal levels.
Keywords: Sexual activities; delayed ejaculation; erectile dysfunction; masturbation; premature ejaculation.
