Erectile Dysfunction is the inability for men to achieve and keep an erection firm enough for sexual activity. It can also be referred to as impotence. The condition affects more than half of men over the age of 65 and up to 39% of males at age 40. Beyond the inability to participate in sexual activity, the frustration of Erectile Dysfunction can lead to emotional, stress and relationship-related issues.
Erectile Dysfunction can occur with or without other sexual dysfunction issues. Decreased libido (lack of interest in sexual activity), orgasmic dysfunction, ejaculatory dysfunction, premature ejaculation and pain with ejaculation are all conditions that are often related to and happen in concert with Erectile Dysfunction.
