Authors’ conclusions
Overall, there is weak and inconsistent evidence regarding the effectiveness of psychological interventions for the treatment of premature
ejaculation. Three of the four included randomised controlled studies of psychotherapy for PE reported our primary outcome
(Improvement in IELT), and the majority have a small sample size. The early success reports (97.8%) of Masters and Johnson could
not be replicated. One study found a significant improvement from baseline in the duration of intercourse, sexual satisfaction and
sexual function with a new functional-sexological treatment and behavior therapy compared to waiting list. One study showed that the
combination of chlorpromazine and BT was superior to chlorpromazine alone. Randomised trials with larger group samples are still
needed to further confirm or deny the current available evidence for psychological interventions for treating PE.
