IEF2

The next set of questions ask about erection problems and the effect that they may have had on your sex life over the past 4 weeks. The following definitions apply when answering the next questions. We define sexual intercourse as inserting your penis into your partner's mouth, vagina, or anus or butt with or without ejaculation. Sexual activity includes oral sex, anal or butt sex, vaginal sex, and any touching of genital or anal areas with or without ejaculation. This definition includes deep kissing. Ejaculate is defined as the ejection of semen from the penis (or the sensation of this). Sexual stimulation includes situations such as lovemaking with a partner, looking at erotic pictures, etc.

Over the past 4 weeks, when you had erections with sexual stimulation, how often were your erections been hard enough for the sexual activity or activities in which you engaged?
