Abstract
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is no more a taboo and the number of patients who are consulting a physician and asking for some help in this domain is growing every day. The quality of life of men presenting an ED and having access to treatments is continually improving. But what can be said concerning the partners' quality of life? Patients as much their partners clearly prefer lesser invasive therapeutics and the new oral drugs available present some advantages for the couples, and surely for a majority of female partners, willing to improve the spontaneity and the frequency of intercourse. It seems now obvious that the partner's help is one of the key points for a successful treatment. How will women facing this recovered virility react? What will they say in the secret of the consulting room? What could be exactly the role of the gynaecologist in assuming the female partner of a man treated for an ED? That is the object of the present article, dealing with quite an important matter.
