Abstract

Purpose of Review

The goal of this review article is to evaluate sexual dysfunction among men who have sex with men (MSM).

Recent Findings

Men who have sex with men are commonly affected by sexual dysfunction. Often sexual dysfunction in MSM will significantly impact their psychological well-being perhaps even more than their heterosexual counterparts. Despite the frequency and high impact of sexual dysfunction in MSM, access to appropriate care may be limited.

Summary

It is important for urologists, especially sexual medicine clinicians, to be aware of and comfortable with differences in sexual practices of MSM. Penile pathology in this patient population will negatively affect their quality of life and well-being. Therefore, it is important to properly assess and treat these patients.

Also in this study, for the first time in the literature, the presence of lower urinary tract symptoms among men who have sex with men was associated to sexual problems, such as erectile dysfunction.
