Objectives: To review the different aspects of psychogenic erectile dysfunction (PED). Methods: To review the bibliography and our personal experience. Conclusion: PED is more frequent than currently thought and may grow in the future, especially in young men, linked to the present style of life. Performance anxiety related to different circumstances is the most common cause of PED. Other causes are given by an inadequate sexual education, traumatic sexual experiences during childhood, a conflictive couple relationship, stressful situations of any nature or psychiatric disorders, like depression, among others. PED may be associated with other sexual disorders. Usually occurs abruptly and it is easy to diagnose when there are normal erections in any circumstances.
