Erectile dysfunction (ED) is more commonly known as:

Erectile dysfunction is commonly referred to as impotence, which reflects the condition's characteristic inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. The term "impotence" has historically been used in both medical and colloquial contexts to describe this specific issue. While loss of libido and inhibited sexual desire refer to diminished interest in sexual activity, they do not directly address the mechanical aspect of erectile dysfunction. Premature ejaculation is a different sexual dysfunction related to the timing of ejaculation rather than the ability to achieve an erection. Therefore, impotence specifically aligns with the definition of erectile dysfunction, making it the correct term to describe the condition.
