Three hundred thirty adult male participated in this study living at Changwon and Jinju. All the participants surveyed the socio-demographic characteristics, perceived periodontal status, stress, and international index of erectile function (IIEF) using self-administrated questionnaire. The univariate and multivariate analyze were adapted to access the crude and adjusted associations using PASW Statistics 18.0. In univariate analysis, there were significant differences between perceived periodontal status and IIEF and most of socio-demographic characteristics (p＜0.05), but no significant differences between stress and all of socio-demographic characteristics (p＞0.05). The sexual function was negatively correlated with perceived periodontal status (r=.0.228, p＜0.001) and stress (r=.0.257, p＜0.001), respectively. In multivariate analysis, perceived periodontal status was significantly associated with sexual function (b=.0.889, p=0.030) after adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics and stress.
