Erectile Dysfunction, Boredom, and Hypersexuality among Coupled Men from Two European Countries
INTRODUCTION:
Much
of the research on the association between erectile dysfunction (ED) and
possible clinical relevant hypersexuality up to now has been only descriptive
in nature.
AIM:
The present
study aimed to explore the relationships among hypersexuality, ED, and sexual
boredom in a sample of coupled community men.
METHODS:
An
Internet-based survey was conducted in two European countries. The sample
included 911 Croatian and 210 German coupled men. The survey comprised the
Hypersexual Disorder Screening Inventory, the International Index of Erectile
Function and the Sexual Boredom Scale. Poisson regression analysis was used to examine how ED, solitary sexual
activities and sexual boredom were associated with hypersexuality.
RESULTS:
Among
Croatian and German men, hypersexuality was significantly correlated with
proneness to sexual boredom and more problems with erectile function.
CONCLUSIONS:
In
some men, hypersexual behavior may serve as a coping mechanism for sexual
fantasy poverty-associated boredom. In addition, ED within an intimate
relationship can accompany this simultaneously. Klein V, Jurin T, Briken P, and
