He misses his wife man, isn't ready for other women. Psychogenic ED. physically hes fine
Why is his Libido normal? It's totally expected that he may have reduced libido after his wife died 2 years ago from some horrible prolonged illness.
from AAFP ED of mixed organic and psychogenic origin is common. Psychogenic causes are more likely when the patient has normal erections with masturbation or when nocturnal penile tumescence is normal.
Organic ED: ED during masturbation, no nocturnal erections, +/- decreased libido
Psycogenic ED: no ED during masturbation, yes nocturnal erections, no decreased libido
if you are 68 and still dating Palmala Handerson, your libido isnt low my friends.
"Inadequate or absent nocturnal erections suggest organic dysfunction, whereas a normal result indicates a high likelihood of a psychogenic etiology."

I thought about it like this: Patient is having psychogenic ED - its all in his head, libido is normal and nocturnal erections are normal.
If his Testosterone level was low - Libido decreased. If his nervous system (parasympathetic/sympathetic) was damaged - nocturnal erections decreased.
Hope this helps.
