Low sexual desire has been studied more extensively in women than in men.
The study aims to analyze the correlates of distressing lack of sexual interest and the self-assessed reasons for the lack of sexual interest among heterosexual men from three countries.
A web-based survey was completed by 5,255 men aged 18-75 years from Portugal, Croatia, and Norway.
We used an item that assesses lack of sexual interest from the British NATSAL 2000. Anxiety and depression were measured with the SCL-ANX4 and SCL-DEP6. Relationship intimacy was measured using a five-item version of the Emotional Intimacy Scale. A shortened version of the Sexual Boredom Scale was used to assess proneness to sexual boredom in relation to the duration of relationship, and personal distress was evaluated using an item created for this study.
Distressing lack of sexual interest lasting at least 2 months in the previous year was reported by 14.4% of the participants. The most prevalent comorbidity among these men was erectile difficulty (48.7%). Men with low confidence levels in erectile function, not feeling attracted to the partner, and those in long-term relationships were more likely to have experienced lack of sexual interest than were men with high confidence levels and those who felt attracted to their partner and those in shorter-term relationships. Professional stress was the most frequently reported reason for lack of sexual interest. Sexual boredom as a result of a long-term relationship was significantly and negatively correlated with the level of intimacy (r = -0.351, P < 0.001) and sexual satisfaction (r = -0.497, P < 0.001).
Distressing lack of sexual interest in heterosexual men was associated with a number of intrapersonal (self-confidence in erectile function, stress), interpersonal (relationship duration, partner attractiveness), and sociocultural variables.
与男性相比，女性的性欲低下问题得到了更广泛的研究。
本研究旨在分析来自三个国家的异性恋男性中，困扰性缺乏性兴趣的相关性以及自我评估的缺乏性兴趣的原因。
我们对来自葡萄牙、克罗地亚和挪威的 5255 名年龄在 18 至 75 岁之间的男性进行了一项基于网络的调查。
我们使用了一项来自英国 NATSAL 2000 的评估缺乏性兴趣的项目。焦虑和抑郁用 SCL-ANX4 和 SCL-DEP6 来衡量。使用情感亲密量表的一个五项目版本来衡量关系亲密程度。性无聊倾向的缩短版用于评估与关系持续时间相关的性无聊倾向，个人困扰则使用为这项研究创建的一个项目进行评估。
在过去一年中，有 14.4%的参与者报告出现至少持续 2 个月的困扰性缺乏性兴趣。这些男性中最常见的合并症是勃起困难（48.7%）。与勃起功能信心水平高、对伴侣有吸引力、处于短期关系的男性相比，勃起功能信心水平低、对伴侣没有吸引力、处于长期关系的男性更有可能经历缺乏性兴趣。职业压力是缺乏性兴趣的最常见原因。由于长期关系导致的性无聊与亲密程度（r=-0.351，P<0.001）和性满意度（r=-0.497，P<0.001）显著负相关。
异性恋男性的困扰性缺乏性兴趣与一些个体内部因素（勃起功能信心、压力）、人际因素（关系持续时间、伴侣吸引力）和社会文化因素有关。
