Management of erectile dysfunction (ED) is beset with assumptions around spontaneity of sexual intercourse, requiring candor between the physician and patient if appropriate treatment is to be implemented.
To evaluate the degree to which men who take ED medications plan for and have sex.
Men from China, Japan, and Taiwan aged 40-70 years who had taken ED medications within the past 3 months were invited to participate anonymously in an online, self-administered survey that enquired about frequency and advance planning of sex, time between taking ED medication and intercourse, and treatment satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Frequency of planning of sexual intercourse, planning and ED medication dosing interval, and frequency of ED medication use.
Data from 604 respondents (mean age 50.8 years) from China (n = 254), Japan (n = 250), and Taiwan (n = 100) were collected. Men used ED medications a median of ≤4 times per month in all 3 territories. 76% who used ED medication during the past 3 months planned for sex on specific occasions, with 59% and 52% agreeing that they plan for sex on specific days of the week and times of the day, respectively. Most commonly, men planned for sex up to several hours to a day beforehand, with 94% taking ED medication within 4 hours of sex. Satisfaction with ED medication was generally high and related to erection rigidity, speed of onset, and safety.
Knowledge of the degree to which individuals with ED plan for sex may have important implications for the appropriate prescription of ED medication. The high degree of planning around sexual activities exhibited by men taking ED medication suggests there is a need for appropriate counseling to ensure that treatment is aligned with patient behavior.

勃起功能障碍（ED）的治疗存在诸多关于性交自发性的假设，若要实施恰当的治疗，医生与患者之间需坦诚相待。
评估服用ED药物的男性计划性性交及实际进行性交的程度。
邀请来自中国、日本和台湾地区，年龄在40至70岁之间，且在过去3个月内服用过ED药物的男性匿名参与一项在线自填式调查，该调查询问了性交频率、提前计划情况、服用ED药物与性交之间的时间间隔以及治疗满意度。数据采用描述性统计进行分析。
性交计划频率、计划与ED药物给药间隔以及ED药物使用频率。
收集了来自中国（n = 254）、日本（n = 250）和台湾（n = 100）的604名受访者（平均年龄50.8岁）的数据。在所有三个地区，男性使用ED药物的频率中位数均≤每月4次。在过去3个月内使用过ED药物的男性中，76%会在特定场合计划性性交，其中59%和52%的人分别表示会在一周中的特定日子和一天中的特定时间计划性性交。最常见的情况是，男性会提前数小时至一天计划性性交，94%的人在性交前4小时内服用ED药物。对ED药物的满意度普遍较高，且与勃起硬度、起效速度和安全性有关。
了解ED患者计划性性交的程度可能对ED药物的合理处方具有重要意义。服用ED药物的男性对性活动的高度计划性表明，需要进行适当的咨询，以确保治疗与患者行为相匹配。Jiann B - P、Nakajima K、Dighe S等。中国、日本和台湾地区服用勃起功能障碍药物男性的性交计划程度：一项观察性横断面调查的结果。性医学2019；7：54 - 60。
