“…In healthy young men, peaks in salivary T levels coincided with periods of intense sexual activity [21]. Penile and systemic T significantly increases during excitation and erection in both normal [22,23,24,25] and impotent subjects [26]. A retrospective medical review of 180 men attending a hospital-based ED clinic showed that total (around 3 ng/ml) and free (around 10 pg/ml) T levels were in the low normal range [27].…”

Background: Not only the most frequent causes of endocrine sexual dysfunction, such as hypogonadism and hyperprolactinemia, but almost all extragonadal endocrinopathies (hyper- and hypothyroidism, hyper- and hypocortisolism, steroidal secreting tumors, etc.) may have a greater or lesser effect on sexual function. Methods: We analyzed scientific literature on the correlations between hormones and sexual behavior, analyzing the most important issue from a practical point of view. The aim of this review article was thus to summarize the sexual symptoms that may be observed with endocrine diseases. Results: Hormones directly or indirectly regulate all human sexual functions (desire, erection/lubrication, ejaculation, orgasm). Some sexual symptoms may occur as a psychosomatic consequence of hormonal impairment. However, in other cases, endocrine failure may be generated by the psychosomatic involvement. Conclusions: The endocrinologist, as an expert in body chemistry, is ideally positioned to identify and evaluate the full range of medical, physical, and psychiatric problems disrupting sexual function.

“…19 It was postulated that high levels of testosterone can reduce the erection latency provided that erection was due to stimulation of sexual material. 20 It was also found that substitution of testosterone especially in males with hypogonadism, arouses the interest in sex, leads to decreased latency and at the same time had positive effect on nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT). 21 Grossmann M et al noted that a very high number of diabetic males had deficiency of testosterone and they were found to have symptoms of hypogonadism.…”

Background: Hypogonadism as well as deficiency of testosterone can lead to disorder of sexual function in males. The initial clinical manifestations of this are mostly erectile dysfunction (ED) and hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSSD). This not only causes the sexual dysfunction but can also lead to many health problems. To study the role of depression, anxiety, testosterone and luteinizing hormone levels in disorders of sexual functionMethods: A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted at department of General Medicine, Kamineni Academy of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad for a period of one year among 60 eligible study subjects to study the role of depression, anxiety, testosterone and luteinizing hormone levels in disorders of sexual function. All male patients aged between 21-60 years, who had stable heterosexual relationship, were included. Patients with severe diseases, users of alcohol and smoking, having marital disharmony were excluded. Informed consent was obtained from all the patients.Results: Testosterone and LH levels are significantly lower in subjects with SD, suggesting that a state of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism prevails in male diabetics with SD. Depression and anxiety are significant factors associated with SD. Premature Ejaculation is significantly associated with Anxiety.Conclusions: Testosterone and LH levels are significantly lower in subjects with SD. Depression and anxiety is significant factors associated with SD. Premature Ejaculation is significantly associated with anxiety.

“…[1617] Furthermore, higher levels of serum T may also shorten the latency of erection in individuals exposed to erotic material. [18] Likewise, restoration of sexual interest, a reduction in latency time and an increase in the frequency and magnitude of nocturnal penile tumescence could be expected after T replacement in hypogonadal males. [1920] Recent studies have proved the fact that gonadal androgens exert their effect on penile erection through local regulation of NO secretion.…”

Serum testosterone and gonadotropins levels in patients with premature ejaculation: A comparison with normal men

et al. 2014

Background:To investigate the role of testosterone (T) in the pathogenesis of ejaculatory symptoms, particularly premature ejaculation (PE).Materials and Methods:A total of 41 male patients with PE as well as 41 controls with no sexual dysfunction were recruited in this cross-sectional study. We used the stopwatch measurement to monitor the intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT). Patients with mean IELT values lower than 60 s were considered to have PE. Serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin (PRL), total testosterone (TT) and free testosterone (FT) were measured in patients as well as controls. Patients with thyroid dysfunction, hypogonadism, hypertension and dyslipidemia were excluded from the study.Results:The serum levels of FT and FSH were significantly higher in cases (P = 0.036 and 0.003, respectively). There was no significant difference between TT, LH and PRL levels of the two groups.Conclusion:Patients with PE have higher FT and FSH levels compared with normal men. The causative relationship between these entities and also the clinical importance of this finding has to be determined by more comprehensive studies.
