Erectile dysfunction (ED) is thought to affect some 150 million men worldwide, but many men with ED symptoms do not seek treatment. Existing surveys suggest that men with severe ED and who report support from their partners are more likely to receive treatment than were others. Less is known, however, concerning the influence of sociomedical factors such as income and body composition on receipt of treatment.
