A total of 53.3% of patients with PE vs 17.4% of individuals without PE reported engaging in multiple sexual intercourse sessions within a single day in the past 4 weeks. PE patients who engaged in multiple intercourse sessions displayed better performance during the second attempt but performed poorly compared with individuals without PE. Scores for the first attempt in PE vs second attempt in individuals with PE vs without PE were the following: intravaginal ejaculatory latency time, 2.4\u2009\u00b1\u20091.6 vs 4.8\u2009\u00b1\u20095.7 vs 9.9\u2009\u00b1\u20099.4 (P &amp;lt; .001); Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool, 14.9\u2009\u00b1\u20093.1 vs 12.7\u2009\u00b1\u20094.8 vs 5.2\u2009\u00b1\u20092.5 (P &amp;lt; .001); satisfaction, 2.9\u2009\u00b1\u20091.0 vs 3.1\u2009\u00b1\u20090.8 vs 3.7\u2009\u00b1\u20091.4 (P &amp;lt; .001). A total of 57.1% of patients held a negative attitude toward precoital masturbation, for reasons such as a reduced sexual desire (21.2%), the belief that masturbation is harmful (17.6%), concerns about erectile function (15.7%), fatigue (9.8%), and other mixed reasons (35.3%).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Clinical Implications<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Engaging in multiple intercourse sessions within a day is more common among the young PE population, and using precoital masturbation as a coping strategy is not universally applicable among patients with PE.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Strengths and Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This is the first study to explore symptom-coping strategies in patients with PE compared with individuals without PE.

Moreover, the majority of patients with PE here studied hold a negative attitude toward using precoital masturbation as a coping strategy for symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n
