Criteria for premature ejaculation (PE) were established using Western-based samples, yet these criteria are applied worldwide for its diagnosis. This study (a) determined whether men from various world regions differ/agree on their views of ejaculation latency (ELT) and their perceptions of ejaculatory control and bother/distress, the three criteria for PE, and (b) compared PE and non-PE men across worldwide regions on these measures. 1,065 participants were recruited via social media to respond to a survey about men's typical, ideal and PE ELTs, about their own ELT, and about perceptions of ejaculatory control and bother/distress related to PE. Responses from men from four worldwide regions were compared to a reference group of North American/European men, and PE men were compared with non-PE men across three world regions. Results showed that most world region groups showed similarity in ELT estimations. The Sub-Saharan group focused more heavily on the importance of ejaculatory control. Both ELT and ejaculatory control differed between PE and non-PE groups in all regions assessed. In conclusion, perceived ELTs and ejaculatory control show substantial consistency across world regions despite geo-cultural variations and traditions. Such findings argue for the universality of the concepts of ELT, control and bother/distress related to PE.
早泄（PE）的诊断标准是基于西方样本制定的，但这些标准在全球范围内用于其诊断。本研究（a）确定来自世界不同地区的男性在射精潜伏期（ELT）的看法、对射精控制的认知以及困扰/苦恼（PE的三项标准）方面是否存在差异或达成一致，（b）在这些指标上比较全球不同地区的PE男性和非PE男性。通过社交媒体招募了1065名参与者，以回应一项关于男性典型、理想和PE的ELT、自身ELT以及与PE相关的射精控制和困扰/苦恼认知的调查。将来自世界四个地区男性的回答与北美/欧洲男性的参考组进行比较，并在三个世界地区比较PE男性和非PE男性。结果表明，大多数世界地区组在ELT估计方面表现出相似性。撒哈拉以南非洲组更加强调射精控制的重要性。在所有评估地区，PE组和非PE组在ELT和射精控制方面均存在差异。总之，尽管存在地理文化差异和传统，但在世界各地区，对ELT和射精控制的认知表现出显著的一致性。这些发现支持了与PE相关的ELT、控制和困扰/苦恼概念的普遍性。
