Lack of sexual privacy was associated with ejaculatory dysfunctions and with the inability to maintain an erection during intercourse. Subjects reporting lack of sexual privacy had a higher risk of relational and intrapsychic impairments, as well as psychopathology at MHQ questionnaire, even after adjusting for confounders. Fatherhood was associated with sexual privacy issues only in the lowest quartiles. In subjects without children, the absence of cohabitation with the partner was associated with an increasing risk of not having enough privacy (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.837 [1.269\u20132.659], P = 0.001); data confirmed, after stratification for age, only in the youngest subjects (I quartile HR = 2.159 [1.211\u20133.848], P = 0.009).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study indicates that sexual privacy is often a poorly investigated item, which is important to evaluate in male SD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jsm.12382","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,22]],"date-time":"2013-11-22T00:21:31Z","timestamp":1385079691000},"page":"431-438","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Lack of Sexual Privacy Affects Psychological and Marital Domains of Male Sexual Dysfunction"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Valentina","family":"Boddi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Andrology Unit \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"},{"name":"Department of Experimental and Clinical Biomedical Sciences \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"},{"name":"University of Florence \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alessandra Daphne","family":"Fisher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Andrology Unit \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"},{"name":"Department of Experimental and Clinical Biomedical Sciences \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"},{"name":"University of Florence \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elisa","family":"Maseroli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Andrology Unit \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"},{"name":"Department of Experimental and Clinical Biomedical Sciences \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"},{"name":"University of Florence \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giulia","family":"Rastrelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Andrology Unit \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"},{"name":"Department of Experimental and Clinical Biomedical Sciences \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"},{"name":"University of Florence \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Giovanni","family":"Corona","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrinology Unit \u00a0 , Bologna , Italy"},{"name":"Maggiore-Bellaria Hospital \u00a0 , Bologna , Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emmanuele","family":"Jannini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnological and Applied Clinical Sciences \u00a0 , Aquila , Italy"},{"name":"University of L'Aquila \u00a0 , Aquila , Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Valdo","family":"Ricca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychiatry Unit \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"},{"name":"Department of Neurological and Psychiatric Sciences \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edoardo","family":"Mannucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Diabetes Section Geriatric Unit \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"},{"name":"Department of Critical Care \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"},{"name":"University of Florence \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mario","family":"Maggi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Andrology Unit \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"},{"name":"Department of Experimental and Clinical Biomedical Sciences \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"},{"name":"University of Florence \u00a0 \u00a0 , Florence , Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1 Pt 2","key":"2024032602352767900_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"327","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2009.01618.x","article-title":"Psychological and interpersonal dimensions of sexual function and dysfunction","volume":"7","author":"McCabe","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Sex Med"},{"key":"2024032602352767900_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"377","DOI":"10.1016\/0005-7967(86)90002-1","article-title":"Prognostic factors in sex therapy","volume":"24","author":"Hawton","year":"1986","journal-title":"Behav Res Ther"},{"key":"2024032602352767900_bib3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1726","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1743-6109.2010.01824.x","article-title":"Organic vs. psychogenic?
