title: Childhood enuresis is associated with shorter intravaginal ejaculatory latency time in healthy men.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  In our previous study we showed that there was a significant increase in the prevalence of monosymptomatic enuresis among lifelong premature ejaculators. In this study we compared the intravaginal ejaculatory latency time of men with and without a history of monosymptomatic enuresis, and determined the association between the severity and duration of monosymptomatic enuresis and intravaginal ejaculatory latency time in healthy men.
  
  
  METHODS
  Between March and September 2012 we designed a prospective study in 49 healthy men who had a history of monosymptomatic enuresis and in age matched 49 control cases without a history of monosymptomatic enuresis. All subjects were asked about their history of monosymptomatic enuresis. Each subject was then evaluated using the premature ejaculation diagnostic tool and asked to measure their intravaginal ejaculatory latency times with their female sexual partner using a calibrated stopwatch.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Men with a history of monosymptomatic enuresis and control cases had a mean age of 33.6 (SD 4.7, range 25 to 43) and 33.8 (SD 5.4, range 25 to 48) years, respectively (p = 0.97). Mean/median intravaginal ejaculatory latency times of men with and without a history of monosymptomatic enuresis were 196.9/126.2 and 426.6/343.2 seconds, respectively (p <0.001). Mean/median premature ejaculation diagnostic tool scores of men with and without a history of monosymptomatic enuresis were 7.1/6 and 2.3/2, respectively (p <0.001). In correlation matrix analysis, intravaginal ejaculatory latency times and premature ejaculation diagnostic tool scores were correlated significantly with monosymptomatic enuresis history, duration and severity (p <0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We found that intravaginal ejaculatory latency time in men with a history of monosymptomatic enuresis is significantly shorter than that of controls. We have also shown that there is a strong negative correlation between having a history of monosymptomatic enuresis and intravaginal ejaculatory latency time.
