Premature ejaculation (PE) diagnostic tool was used to define PE. Demographic, behavioral, and physiological traits that are linked to PE and non\u2010PE groups were collected. The participants listed their preferred sexual positions and the ones they changed to during ejaculating. Also, analyses were performed between male\/female active or deep\/shallow thrust positions and PE status.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Although there were no appreciable variations in age or circumcision between PE and non\u2010PE groups, the age of first sexual experience was associated with PE status. Groups also varied in the number of weekly ejaculations, the duration of the favored ejaculations, and the characteristics of the erection. The most preferred sexual posture was the doggy style regardless of the group. When the non\u2010PE group felt to ejaculate, they preferred to change the position significantly more than the PE group (74%\u00a0vs 67.2%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05). However, when participants felt ejaculate, non\u2010PE participants tended to switch to shallow thrusting positions significantly more than PE participants, who preferred deeper positions (27.1%\u00a0vs. 18%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study underlines the relevance of considering sexual positions in controlling PE. Modifying positions during sexual intercourse may offer a non\u2010pharmacological therapeutic alternative for improving ejaculation control.
