Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (Total Score)
Time Frame: Baseline and 30 Days
Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool (PEDT) includes five items; control, frequency, minimal stimulation, distress, and interpersonal difficulty. In this classification tool, equal to or less than scores 8 indicates no PE, scores 9 and 10 indicate possible PE, and scores equal or higher than 11 indicates PE. Total score is between 2 and 22.
Intravaginal Ejaculatory Latency Time
Time Frame: Baseline and 30 Days
Duration determined by the sexual partner with stopwatch method, and \<1 minute was considered as PE. (minimum/maximum scores were not possible)
Secondary Outcomes
