Abstract

Background: Negative genital self-image is associated with sexual unresponsiveness and dysfunction.

Aim: This study aims to determine the relationship between men's genital self-image and premature ejaculation, with identifying influencing factors.

Methods: The research is designed as a descriptive and correlational study. The sample consists of 188 men aged 18 to 60 years who volunteered to participate in the study.

Outcomes: A negative correlation was observed between genital self-image and premature ejaculation (P < .05).

Results: The average age of the participating men was 39.5 ± 9.79 years (mean ± SD), with 91.5% being married. The average age of the participants' first sexual encounter was 20.43 ± 4.01 years, and 38.3% reported experiencing premature ejaculation. The mean score for the Male Genital Self-image Scale was 21.10 ± 5.59, and that for the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool was 6.96 ± 3.73. As a result of the study, it was revealed that participants who experienced premature ejaculation were not at peace with their bodies and were dissatisfied with their sexual experiences and their genital size and function, with significantly lower levels of genital self-image (P < .05).

Clinical implications: Identifying factors that affect men's genital self-image is crucial for maintaining sexual functions.

Strengths and limitations: In Turkey, sexuality is a taboo subject, often considered shameful and rarely discussed, making it challenging to find participants willing to engage in research.

Conclusion: Men's genital self-image influences the characteristics of premature ejaculation.

男性生殖器自我形象、早泄及其影响因素。
背景:消极的生殖器自我形象与性生活反应迟钝和性功能障碍有关:目的:本研究旨在确定男性生殖器自我形象与早泄之间的关系,并找出影响因素:研究设计为描述性和相关性研究。样本包括 188 名自愿参与研究的 18 至 60 岁男性:结果:观察到生殖器自我形象与早泄之间存在负相关(P 结果:参与研究的男性平均年龄为 18 至 60 岁,早泄患者的平均年龄为 40 至 59 岁(P):参与研究的男性平均年龄为 39.5 ± 9.79 岁(平均 ± SD),其中 91.5% 已婚。参与者初次性行为的平均年龄为(20.43±4.01)岁,38.3%的人表示有过早泄经历。男性生殖器自我形象量表的平均得分为(21.10 ± 5.59)分,早泄诊断工具的平均得分为(6.96 ± 3.73)分。研究结果显示,有早泄经历的参与者对自己的身体不满意,对自己的性经历、生殖器大小和功能不满意,生殖器自我形象水平明显较低(P 临床影响):找出影响男性生殖器自我形象的因素对于保持性功能至关重要:在土耳其,性是一个禁忌话题,通常被认为是可耻的,很少被讨论,因此找到愿意参与研究的参与者具有挑战性:结论:男性的生殖器自我形象会影响早泄的特征。

期刊介绍: Sexual Medicine is an official publication of the International Society for Sexual Medicine, and serves the field as the peer-reviewed, open access journal for rapid dissemination of multidisciplinary clinical and basic research in all areas of global sexual medicine, and particularly acts as a venue for topics of regional or sub-specialty interest. The journal is focused on issues in clinical medicine and epidemiology but also publishes basic science papers with particular relevance to specific populations. Sexual Medicine offers clinicians and researchers a rapid route to publication and the opportunity to publish in a broadly distributed and highly visible global forum. The journal publishes high quality articles from all over the world and actively seeks submissions from countries with expanding sexual medicine communities. Sexual Medicine relies on the same expert panel of editors and reviewers as The Journal of Sexual Medicine and Sexual Medicine Reviews.
