This attribute was highly correlated with several other attributes which, when taken together, reflect overall improvements in relationship quality. This suggests that the duration of therapeutic effectiveness is a potential predictor of improved, satisfying sexual relations. Here is a short list of features that a medication for ED may or may not have. Having an adequate opportunity to participate in foreplay, or to enjoy spontaneous sexual relations, is not simply a matter of convenience to men. Judging by what respondents told us, it relates more to improving the sexual relationship.
Sexual dysfunction is associated with and compounded by cognitive factors such as anxiety.
ED often creates mental stress that affects the interactions between men with ED and their families. Respondents indicated that having the ability to engage in spontaneous sex with their partner would boost their confidence and self-esteem, contribute to increased intimacy, and improve their sexual relationship. An ED treatment that provides a larger window of opportunity in which to have sex with little or no required preplanning would accommodate this desire for spontaneity. Such a treatment, therefore, would also contribute to the improvement of the sexual relationships between these men and their partners which is what is desired most by these men. Erectile dysfunction can have a profound effect on the quality of life of aging men.
