Objectives: Sexuality on the whole and erectile response particularly are not alien to psychosocial and couple features. We review al psychological and couple features that interfere on erection and also point out the interventional directions of couple therapy that give the best results in the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Methods: We performed a bibliographic review about the psychological and social features under the current way of life in relation to erectile response physiology, in addition to review different models of couple therapy.
Results/conclusions: The separation of the couple reproduction-pleasure achieved in the 50's enabled a progressive claim from women of their need to be satisfied, representing one of the reasons that led to the phenomenon of "performance anxiety" that, altogether with some toxic habits (Tobacco consumption, alcohol, drugs, sedentary life, etc) help the appearance of erectile dysfunction. When psychological factors are an important part of the problem, couple sexual therapy in combination with phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors is the therapy of choice.

Background: Androgen deprivation is associated with erectile dysfunction (ED). In different animal models, sulfur dioxide (SO) donors NaSO and NaHSO reduced oxidative stress, fibrosis, and inflammation which contribute to the pathogenesis of androgen deprivation-induced ED, however the effect of SO donors on ED in castrated rats were not known.
Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of SO donors, NaSO/NaHSO, on ED in castrated rat model.
