PY - 2021 T2 - Essentials of Men’s Health AB - Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as consistent or recurrent inability to attain and/or maintain penile erection sufficient for sexual satisfaction.1 Although simple in construction, this definition encompasses a number of important considerations when addressing the issue of ED; specifically, a man with ED may be able to achieve an erection but unable to sustain it during or after penetration. Similarly, the inclusion of a consideration for overall satisfaction (applied primarily to the man himself but theoretically applicable to the sexual partner’s satisfaction) indicates how satisfaction, bother, and interpersonal dimensions are critical determinants of clinically relevant ED.
