Final Answer : B , Explanation :  Men with erectile dysfunction have persistent or recurring inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance.When the patient is maintaining penile erection through orgasm,this is an indication the interventions were successful.ED is not related to sexual orientation or exposure to STIs.Comfort with communicating about sexual needs is helpful for sexual satisfaction but is not the cause of ED.
