Abstract
The present study was designed to examine the impact of erectile failure on the partners of impotent men. Partners were sent detailed questionnaires to assess the impact of the erectile dysfunction on their relationship. Many women felt that their partners were withdrawing as a result of the sexual difficulties, and 41% felt that they were to blame for this. Personal reasons were given by many women as to why they felt responsible for the problems. This study lends support to a need for the treatment of the emotional and psychological problems which frequently occur in the dyadic relationship, regardless of the etiology of the erectile difficulties.
