Efficacy of a New Behavioral Treatment for Premature Ejaculation Using a Masturbation Aid Device: Star-Stop 3.0

A Randomized, Controlled Study of the Efficacy of a New Behavioral Treatment for Premature Ejaculation Using a Masturbation Aid Device

The present study included 57 patients ≥18 years who met diagnostic criteria for PE including intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) of ≤2 minutes and had a Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) score ≥11.

Subjects were randomized to an experimental group that used the device with exercise programme (n=18) a first control group that only used the exercise programme (n=17) and a wait-list control group (n=22).

As a main outcome measure used stopwatch-measured average IELT, Premature Ejaculation Profile (PEP), and the Golombok-Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction (GRISS).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participants must be heterosexual males
• To be in a stable monogamous, sexual relationship with a female partner for at least 6 months,
• Must score = 11 in the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT).
• Must have a self-estimated average intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) of <2 min. -Must be in good general health with no clinically significant abnormalities as determined by medical history and clinical lab results.

Exclusion Criteria:

• To suffer an alteration or mental disorder according to the criteria of the DSM-IV.
• History of alcohol abuse and dependence.
• Do not to consume medication, drugs of recreative use or alcohol (except for caffeine or nicotine/tobacco).
