One hundred ninety-nine men reported no sexual activity during the previous 4 weeks; four records were rejected because of inherent errors. The remaining 396 questionnaires were analyzed, with 287 \u201cgamers\u201d (playing &amp;gt;1 hour\/day on average) and 109 \u201cnon-gamers\u201d providing all the required information. We found a lower prevalence of premature ejaculation in gamers compared with non-gamers (mean PEDT score\u00a0= 3.57 \u00b1 3.38 vs 4.52 \u00b1 3.7, P &amp;lt; .05, respectively). Analysis of the IIEF-15 showed no significant differences between gamers and non-gamers in the domains of erectile function, orgasmic function, and overall satisfaction. Median scores for the sexual desire domain were higher for non-gamers (median score [interquartile range] 9 [8\u20139] vs 9 [8\u201310], respectively; P\u00a0= .0227).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Clinical Implications<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>These results support the correlation between videogame use and male sexual health.
