Early on, Zhu had emphasized the need to attain a working knowledge of the constitutive patterning (li) of reality and society in the light of which the norms and ritual action (li) prescribed for proper interpersonal relationships and intercourse are devised.

Personal distress and satisfaction with sexual intercourse were directly associated with the interpersonal relationship between the male and his partner.
It comprises four self-reported items, each scored on a five-point scale, ie, perceived control over ejaculation, satisfaction with sexual intercourse, personal distress related to ejaculation, and interpersonal difficulty related to ejaculation.
