If it’s desire and sexual energy you lack, Kanna and Kratom are the Answer

Male users of kratom were found to report varied effects on sexual health, with a small proportion admittedly using the drug for that purpose. Kratom appears to decrease PEDT scores, which may indicate a potential target of study for the treatment of PE. While this study is not meant to support kratom use to treat PE, it should serve as a notice to physicians who treat men for sexual health in order to maintain awareness of this increasingly popular agent.

While only 4.8% of the participants reported using kratom to primarily address their sexual health, our study implies that the perception of sexual health effects attributed to kratom use is impressive. While respondents reported kratom having a positive impact on their sexual health (37.7%) and enjoyment of sexual activity (42.9%), there was also a significant proportion (20.5% and 15.4%) who reported a negative effect. Analysis of objective data including the orgasmic function, sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, and overall satisfaction domains of the IIEF showed significant differences before and after initiating kratom consumption. However, it is important to acknowledge that despite statistical significance, differences within each domain were no more than 1.2 points and are unlikely to reflect clinical significance. Similarly, while there was a statistically significant difference in the erectile function domain after kratom initiation, the 0.7-point difference in the means is unlikely to be clinically significant change. Overall, a substantial proportion of participants viewed kratom as a positive influence on their sexual health, noting a delay in ejaculation which was objectively supported by decreased PEDT scores. To date, there is only one other study in the literature that surveys kratom users about its impact on male sexual health.25 Singh et al surveyed 92 long-term kratom users in Penang, Malaysia, using the Malay version Brief Male Sexual Function Inventory (Mal-BMSFI) and showed that the average Mal-BMSFI score was 33.9 (out of a total of 45). While this study did not capture subjective or objective sexual health metrics prior to initiation of kratom use, 85% of the participants reported subjective improvement in sexual performance with kratom consumption.

Most males surveyed (n = 165) were 18–40 years old (84.9%), with 95.8% of respondents using it at least weekly and 82.4% using kratom for ≥1 year. Reasons for use included treating pain (39.4%), and mental health conditions (63.6%). Kratom was associated with a positive (37.7%) and negative (20.5%) impact on sexual health. Kratom subjectively increased time to ejaculation in 104 (66.6%) patients, perceived as positive by 62 (59.6%). Seventy-eight patients answered questions about premature ejaculation. The median (with interquartile range, IQR, following;) pre-kratom and kratom use scores were 13.0; 8.0 and 6.5; 5.0, respectively (p < 0.001). Ejaculation before 5 minutes improved after kratom (51.3% vs 12.8%) (p < 0.0001). Following kratom use, patients reported lack of frustration with ejaculation prior to desire (21.8% vs 61.5%) (p < 0.001). The erectile function domain of the IIEF was statistically significantly different however – clinically similar pre-kratom use (29.0; 5.75) versus 27.0; 6.75 during kratom use (p = 0.037).

Prior to obtaining objective measures on the impact of kratom on sexual health, respondents were queried about perceived effects. In total, 156 participants completed a subjective sexual health survey. The effect of kratom on overall sexual health was viewed as positive for 37.7% (n=59) and negative for 20.5% (n=32) (p = 0.0008). The effect of kratom on enjoyment of sexual activity was viewed as positive for 42.9% (n=67) and negative for 15.4% (n=24) (p = 0.0001). The ability to obtain/maintain an erection was subjectively impaired in 23.1% (n=36) while improved in 23.7% (n=37) of the participants (p > 0.05). Kratom use reportedly increased time to ejaculation in 104 (66.6%) patients, which was perceived as a positive effect by 62 (59.6%). Finally, kratom use lead to a decrease in sexual desire for 37.8% (n=59) yet an increase for 37.2% (n=58) of the respondents (p > 0.05). Only three respondents (1.9%) reported a diagnosis of low testosterone following the use of kratom.

Among the 78 patients who completed the PEDT, median (with interquartile range, IQR, following;) pre-kratom and kratom use scores were 13.0; 8.0 and 6.5; 5.0, respectively (p < 0.001). Ejaculation prior to 5 minutes was improved after kratom use (n=40; 51.3% vs n=10; 12.8%) (p < 0.0001) (Figure 2). Following kratom use, more patients reported lack of frustration with ejaculation prior to desire n=17 (21.8%) vs n=48 (61.5%) (p < 0.001). There was not a significant difference in PEDT scores in kratom users based on dose (p = 0.8).
