Personal interviews were conducted with 44 male volunteers consecutively admitted to outpatient treatment in a county alcoholism program. Fifty‐three per cent of the subjects were still drinking minimally or in moderation at the time of the interview. Quantity, frequency, and duration of drinking, from onset of regular drinking to present, were related to sexual dysfunctions. During heavy drinking, 59% of patients experienced erection dysfunction, 48% repotted ejaculation incompetence, and 84.4% had experienced at least one kind of sexual dysfunction.
