Study Explores Videogame Use and Men's Sexual Health
There appears to be a connection between videogame use and male sexual function, new research suggests.
In a recent Journal of Sexual Medicine study, researchers investigated the relationships between videogame use and two aspects of sexual health: premature ejaculation and sexual desire.
They analyzed data from 396 men between the ages of 18 and 50 who had had intercourse during the previous four weeks. Seventy-two percent played videogames for at least an hour a day ("gamers"). The rest played less than that ("non-gamers").
The researchers found that gamers were less likely to have premature ejaculation (PE) and more likely to have decreased sexual desire compared to their non-gaming counterparts.
For more information on the study, including the assessment tools used, rates of PE, and the authors' thoughts on why such a connection was found, please click here.
