Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a Shared Sexual Concern of Couples II: Association of Female Partner Characteristics with Male Partner ED Treatment Seeking and Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitor Utilization
The Journal of Sexual Medicine, 08/28/09

Fisher WA et al. – Women's perceptions of the nature and causes of their partner's ED were significantly associated with men's treatment seeking and utilization. Significant associations were observed between women's level of satisfaction with the relationship before ED onset; perceptions of the impact of ED on quality of life; desire to deal with ED; attitudes to ED treatment; and the treatment–seeking behavior of the male partner. Multivariate regression analyses identified a mixture of female and male partner perceptions and attitudes that uniquely accounted for >30% of the variance in men's ED treatment–seeking behavior and treatment utilization. This study illustrates the importance of the female partner's attitudes to ED in men's ED treatment–seeking behavior. These findings strongly support the potential benefits of partner integration into ED consultation and treatment strategies.
