Relationships can contribute to erectile dysfunction in many ways as well. Sometimes if there's underlying tension between the partners, and one partner wants to punish the other, then we have something called passive-aggressive responses which is oh, not tonight, I've got a headache. And that's saying I don't wanna have sex with you, I want to punish you for being mean to me earlier on. That's one reason. The other one is sometimes people grow apart, another person doesn't feel particularly desirable or attractive to the other one, and either one loses interest. Or one assumes the other has lost interest and they just withdraw. And of course, the other thing's, oh, you're withdrawn so you're not interested in me. And there's a bit of a misunderstanding.
