BACKGROUND
Prostate cancer carries emasculating symptoms and treatment effects. These symptoms and treatment effects impact a man's sexual function; a central-theme to masculinity. This study seeks to assess the impact of sexual function on perceptions of masculinity.
METHODS
A voluntary-sample of men self-selected into the registry. Data were based on a series of questions related to Health-Related Quality of Life and functional status.
RESULTS
Based on the analysis, 50.2% of men did not feel less masculine, 33.2% of men were still interested in sex, 40.2% of men still engaged in sex "a little bit," and 34.8% of men still found sex "quite a bit" enjoyable. Additionally, 31.1% of identified issues with erectile dysfunction and 45.5% of men showed no discomfort with being sexually active.
CONCLUSION
Sexual function has an impact on perceptions of masculinity but additional underlying issues outside of sexual function may contribute to perceptions of masculinity.
背景
前列腺癌会带来令人丧失男子气概的症状和治疗效果。这些症状和治疗效果会影响男性的性功能；而性功能是男性气质的核心主题。本研究旨在评估性功能对男性气质认知的影响。
方法
自愿参与该注册研究的男性组成了一个样本。数据基于一系列与健康相关的生活质量和功能状态相关的问题。
结果
基于分析，50.2%的男性不觉得自己失去了男子气概，33.2%的男性仍然对性感兴趣，40.2%的男性仍然“有点”进行性行为，34.8%的男性仍然觉得性行为“相当愉快”。此外，31.1%的男性认为自己存在勃起功能障碍问题，45.5%的男性对自己的性行为没有不适感。
结论
性功能会影响男性气质认知，但性功能以外的其他潜在问题也可能对男性气质认知产生影响。
