Worry, Desire, and Sexual Satisfaction and Their Association with Severity of ED and Age

Indicators of sexual quality of life among men with ED are poorer in those with more severe ED. However, younger men with severe ED worries concerning sexual functioning were more pronounced than among their older counterparts. Independent of the degree of severity of ED, older men indicated lower sexual desire but higher overall sexual satisfaction. Observed age‐group differences were very small, however.
