Tensions with mother may affect sex life in adulthood

London, January 9: A strained relationship with your mother in childhood may put you at the risk of developing sexual health issues like erectile dysfunction in adulthood, a new survey demonstrates.

The survey, conducted by the Charles University in Prague, asked 960 men aged between 15 and 88 about their sexual habits like premature ejaculation and the duration of lovemaking. They were also questioned about their relationships with their mother and the age that they fell in love, the Daily Mail reported.

The team found that “the association of poorer current sexual function with (historical) older age at first being in love might suggest some enduring conflict regarding sexuality and/or intimacy”. (IANS)
