The penile sensitivity summary score comprised responses to three statements on a 5-point Likert scale:
- It takes me longer than I like to have an orgasm (increasing score means less sensitive)
- My penis is not sensitive enough (increasing score means less sensitive)
- I have premature ejaculations (decreasing score means less sensitive)
All respondents (N=43)
Q. mean before mean after p 1 2.6 2.8 .096 2 2.5 2.7 .345 3 2.3 2.2 .782
Respondents who had sex with same partner before and after (N=31)
Q. mean before mean after p 1 2.4 2.7 .147 2 2.2 2.3 .791 3 2.6 2.2 .153
The small sample size likely prevented statistical significance. Hope this is useful.
