The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential relationship between self-reported sexual dysfunction, sexual behavior, and severity of addiction of drug users. A cross-sectional design study was conducted at an inpatient addiction treatment unit in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with a sample of 508 male drug users. Sociodemographic data, sexual behavior, and severity of dependence were evaluated.The prevalence of sexual dysfunction was 37.2% and premature ejaculation was 63.8%. Men with sexual dysfunction presented from moderate to severe level of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs of dependence. The findings from this study are particularly relevant identifying those sociodemographic factors, severity of drug use, and sexual behavior are related to men who experience sexual dysfunction. Health promotion and motivational interventions on sexual health targeted to male drug users can contribute in reducing these at-risk behaviors. More interdisciplinary research is desirable in future in considering men's sexual health.
本研究的目的是评估自我报告的性功能障碍、性行为与吸毒者成瘾严重程度之间的潜在关系。在巴西圣保罗的一个住院成瘾治疗单元进行了一项横断面设计研究，样本为508名男性吸毒者。评估了社会人口统计学数据、性行为和依赖严重程度。性功能障碍的患病率为37.2%，早泄为63.8%。性功能障碍的男性表现出中度至重度的酒精、烟草和其他药物依赖。这项研究的结果对于确定那些社会人口统计学因素、吸毒严重程度和性行为与经历性功能障碍的男性之间的关系尤为重要。针对男性吸毒者的性健康促进和动机干预有助于减少这些高危行为。未来在考虑男性性健康方面，需要更多的跨学科研究。
