Men with premature ejaculation exhibit higher impulsivity and excitability, alongside lower fear of uncertainty. These findings suggest a neurobiological and psychological basis for premature ejaculation, impacting personality traits.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Urology

Background:

  • The etiology of premature ejaculation (PE) remains debated, with various biological and psychological theories proposed.
  • Understanding the personality structure of individuals with PE is crucial for developing effective treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the personality structure of patients diagnosed with premature ejaculation.
  • To compare personality traits between patients with PE and healthy controls using the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI).

Main Methods:

  • A case-control study involving 40 patients with premature ejaculation and 40 matched healthy controls.
  • Participants completed a questionnaire including demographic information and the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI).
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • Patients with PE showed significantly higher scores in total novelty seeking and its subscale 1 (exploration-excitability) compared to controls (p<0.05).
  • Premature ejaculation patients had significantly lower scores in total harm avoidance and its subscale 2 (fear of uncertainty) than controls (p<0.05).
  • Beck depression scores were significantly elevated in the PE group compared to the control group.

Conclusions:

  • Individuals with premature ejaculation demonstrate increased impulsivity, excitability, and reduced avoidance of harm.
  • These findings support a multifactorial etiology of premature ejaculation, integrating neurobiological and psychological elements.
