title: Sexual dysfunction in partners of men with premature ejaculation.
abstract: Research in partners of men with erectile dysfunction suggests that a woman's sexual difficulties can be contingent on her partner's sexual dysfunction. However, little research has been conducted in partners of men with other sexual dysfunctions, such as premature ejaculation (PE). We evaluated 139 partners of men diagnosed with having PE and 89 age-matched women whose partners did not have any sexual dysfunction. Results showed that 77.7% of PE partners had at least one sexual dysfunction, compared to 42.7% of the control group. Further research needs to be undertaken to investigate the temporal relationship between sexual dysfunctions in both partners.
