    Sexuality in Young Adult Men Aged 18-24 with Epilepsy
    (Springer, 2013) Bagcioglu, Erman; Acar, Abdullah; Coskun, Kerem Senol; Akpinar, Abdullah; Yurekli, Vedat Ali; Oruc, Serdar; Mayda, Hasan
    The aim of this study was to determine the extent of sexual dysfunction in young male patients (18-24 years) with epilepsy. Forty-five male patients with epilepsy aged between 18 and 24, and forty-four age- matched healthy male volunteers were included in the study. Participants completed a battery of self-reported tests (ASEX: Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale, HADS: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). Demographic and clinical variables were recorded. Serum total testosterone was measured between 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. in patients with epilepsy. Sexual function scores (sexual drive and penile erection) were higher in patients with epilepsy than those of the control group (p < 0.001 and p = 0.008, respectively). The difference between the mean total ASEX scores, which were 13.9 and 11.4 in patients with epilepsy and controls, respectively, was significant (p = 0.009). HAD anxiety scores were significantly higher in patients with epilepsy than controls (p = 0.01) (Table 2). HAD-depression scores of both groups were similar (p = 0.09). This study demonstrates that young male patients with epilepsy have lower levels of sexual activity and drive and more erectile problems. Impaired sexual function is associated with anxiety scores.

    Temperament and Character Differences in Patients with Premature Ejaculation
    (Aves, 2013) Altunoluk, Bulent; Bagcioglu, Erman; Efe, Erkan; Bahceci, Bulent; Soylemez, Haluk
    Introduction: The debate on the etiology of premature ejaculation is still ongoing although there was huge amount of biological and psychological theories. We aimed to investigate the personality structure of patients with premature ejaculation via temperament and character inventory. Methods: Forty patients with premature ejaculation and a matched number of healthy people were included. Participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire booklet with separate sections for general demographic information and the temperament and character inventory. Results: Total novelty seeking scores and subscale 1 (exploration-excitability) scores in premature ejaculation patients were significantly higher than in control groups (p<0.05). Total harm avoidance scores and harm avoidance subscale 2 (fear of uncertainty) scores in premature ejaculation patients was found significantly lower than in control group (p<0.05). Beck depression score was significantly higher in patients with premature ejaculation than in control groups. Discussion: Men with premature ejaculation are more impulsive (excitant), more tempered, more excitable and less prone to harmful behavior. Current findings tend to reinforce premature ejaculation based upon combination of neurobiological and psychological reasons.
