The common notion among people is that psychoactive drugs like alcohol increases sexual activity, various studies over the years have shown some relationship between the alcohol use pattern and sexual dysfunction in males. The effect can either be because of depressant effects of alcohol itself or can due to the probable changes it brings about in the normal neurotransmitter levels and hormones associated with sexual functioning. Among the male sexual dysfunctions prevalence of premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction has been studied most extensively. We set to look at perceptions of sexual dysfunction among male in- patients with alcohol dependence. 30 male in patients with alcohol dependence diagnosed according to International Classification of Diseases- 10 (ICD-10) without any other psychiatric co-morbidity were compared with 30 male in-patients admitted in medical ward. The Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI PLUS), Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire (SADQ), and Brief Sexual Functioning Inventory (BSFI) scales were used in the study. The study revealed that patients with alcohol dependence had perceived poor sexual functioning under the domains of sexual drive, erection and ejaculation. It was also found that sexual functioning worsened with increased duration of alcohol usage.
