In the epublication of the Journal of Sexual Medicine published in March 2007, KF Quek, et. al. reviewed findings from a self-administered survey to determine prevalence of premature ejaculation ( PE ) in Malaysian men, in addition to social, psychological, and physical factors. The study sought to provide an overview of the characteristics of premature ejaculation ( PE ) in men from Malaysia using men with erectile dysfunction and men without erectile dysfunction. For purposes of this study, premature ejaculation ( PE ) was defined as intravaginal ejaculatory latency time ≤2 minutes.

To determine psychological state, the study used the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and erectile functioning status was determined using the International Index of Erectile Function. The self-reported rate of premature ejaculation ( PE ) was 22.3% while erectile dysfunction rate was 41.6%. Of the men with erectile dysfunction, 33.5% also reported premature ejaculation ( PE ). Men reporting erectile dysfunction most likely reported physical ailments like diabetes and hypertension, while men reporting premature ejaculation ( PE ) reported psychological issues like anxiety and depression. Researchers concluded that men with erectile dysfunction have medical issues while men with premature ejaculation ( PE ) are more likely to report psychological issues.
