تخصصي

Research
<strong>Introduction: </strong>Sexual performance affects the quality of life of the individuals and their<br>
sexual partners. Impaired sexual performance would lead to certain problems. Emotional<br>
intelligence is effective in the improvement of sexual satisfaction.<br>
<strong>Objective:</strong> The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of emotional intelligence<br>
on men’s sexual performance.<br>
<strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> The present correlational analytical study was conducted in 2018<br>
in the health centers of Rasht City, Iran on 100 men who were selected using a randomized<br>
cluster sampling method. The study data were collected using the demographic<br>
questionnaire, the Bar-On emotional quotient inventory, and the international index of<br>
erectile function through self-report after confirmation of their validity and reliability.<br>
The obtained data were analyzed by the indicators of central tendency (mean, standard<br>
deviation) and the Pearson correlation coefficient. P value of less than 0.05 was set as the<br>
level of significance for all the statistical tests.<br>
<strong>Results:</strong> The Mean±SD age of the samples was 34.59±6.15 years and most of them had<br>
academic degrees and married for more than two years. Their Mean±SD emotional<br>
intelligence and sexual function scores were 307.37±21.14 and 23.4±16.7, respectively. There<br>
was a significant positive correlation between emotional intelligence and the components of<br>
sexual function, including libido (r =0.72, P= 0.001), sexual arousal (r=0.57, P=0.001), orgasm<br>
(r=0.58, P=0.001), satisfaction with intercourse (r=0.75, P=0.001), and total satisfaction<br>
(r=0.74, P=0.001).<br>
<strong>Conclusion:</strong> There is a significant and direct correlation between men’s emotional intelligence<br>
and sexual function. So emotional intelligence is one of the crucial factors in the couple’s<br>
satisfaction with their sexual function and making efforts for its improvement could resolve<br>
the couple’s dissatisfaction to some extent.
