1. Delayed ejaculation is characterized by a marked delay in ejaculation and or marked infrequency or absence of ejaculation despite the presence of adequate sexual stimulation and the desire to ejaculate. The patient with Parkinson disease is most likely to suffer from this disorder due to damage to peripheral sensory nerves. While the other answer choices represent male sexual disorders, the frequency of occurrence of these disorders is not increased in patients with Parkinson disease.
