OBJECTIVES: To develop a brief questionnaire to measure male sexual function. METHODS: An initial set of questions was refined and reduced through cognitive testing and two serial validation studies. In each study, men were recruited from a sexual dysfunction clinic and a general medicine practice to complete the instrument. Test-retest reliabilities, internal consistencies, and construct validities were examined. RESULTS: The final instrument covers sexual drive (two items), erection (three items), ejaculation (two items), perceptions of problems in each area (three items), and overall satisfaction (one item). Psychometric performance was generally very satisfactory, although self-assessments of ejaculate volume are problematic. Translations have been developed and pilot tested in a number of languages. CONCLUSIONS: The Brief Sexual Function Inventory may be useful for measuring male sexual function in practice and research.
The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term outcome of erectile dysfunction (ED) assessed in a routine clinical setting. The original population consisted of 209 patients who were consecutively referred to either the Urology Clinic or the Sexual Dysfunction Clinic of a University Hospital. At follow-up, 22 patients had died and 32 could not be found. Of the remaining 155, 107 (69%) patients participated in the study. The mean follow-up period was 4.1 years. Of these, 21 had had a prosthesis implanted, 34 had received self-injection therapy. 31 had sex therapy and 28 patients had not received any treatment. Overall, the rate of penetration increased, whereas coital frequency did not change. Despite the fact that sexual functioning in terms of penetration rate improved, more than of the patients reported that they were dissatisfied with the overall quality of their sex-lives.
