An increase in sexual performance was observed in all participants. The rate of increase of the refractory period was on average higher among practitioners of sport (p = 0.03). Multi-varied logistic regression introduced a strong correlation between the age group [35-45] [OR = 0.37, CI at95 % of OR= 0.37 - 0.87, P = 0.002], the male sex [OR = 1, 84, CI at 95 % of OR = 1.02-3.33, P = 0.04] with the improvement of sexual activity.
