Erectile Dysfunction in Young Men The most common cause of sexual dysfunction for young men is anxiety.

This may include concerns about getting someone pregnant, or not wanting to appear inexperienced. Fears are also caused through possibly worrying about using a condom without embarrassment or losing your erection while putting a condom on.

Erectile Dysfunction in Middle Aged Men Common causes of sexual dysfunction for middle aged men may include stress, guilt, or having sex with a new partner after many years of monogamy. Other causes may include diabetes.

Erectile Dysfunction in Older Men Although 70% of men over the age of 70 are still sexually active, sexual dysfunction does get more likely as you get older. This may be linked to the deterioration to the blood vessels that carry blood to the penis, and also to the deterioration of heart or brain arteries.

Physical reasons for sexual dysfunction may include:

• Side effects from medication
• Other illness or infection
• Diabetes
• Smoking and or excessive drinking
• Being unfit or overweight
• Deterioration of the arteries, common in older men especially those with high blood pressure
• Use of recreational drugs such as cocaine.
