I don't mean to contradict the doctor, but this is not the latest thinking on sexual dysfunction in males according to what I am reading. It used to be said that erection problems were predominantly psychological but now it seems that the majority of problems have a physical basis. I don't know about females, I just wanted to point out that what I have read about ED contradicts this response.
