Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the inability to attain or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. This means that a man with ED may still experience subjective arousal, but there is an underlying physiological issue preventing proper blood flow to the penis. Choice A is incorrect as dyspareunia is a term used to describe pain during intercourse, which may or may not be related to ED. Choice B is incorrect as subjectively arousal and the ability to achieve an erection are distinct issues. Choice C is incorrect as premature ejaculation is a different sexual dysfunction that does not involve difficulty obtaining an erection.
