Abstract
Evaluate the chronological distribution of sexual intercourses in a group of patients treated with Tadalafil versus placebo for three months.
Methods
120 patients with ED were randomized in two groups and treated respectively with one pill of Tadalafil 20mg or placebo on Tuesday and on Friday. After three months we collected data using IIEF and SEP diaries.
Results
After three months, IIEF score and percentages of success SEP diaries increased in Tadalafil group (< 0.01) versus Placebo group. Considering all the successful intercourses of the three months of Tadalafil assumption, the highest percentages were reported within 6–12 hours range (35%) and 12–24 hours range (28%). In Tadalafil group, 41% of patients reported their first successful intercourse between 1–6 hours and 78% of patients reported the recovery of spontaneous erections.
Conclusions
After doing the first sexual attempt between 1–6 hours, patients engaged in sexual activity between 6–24 hours.
