ED vs Low Libido: What’s the Difference?

Many men confuse erectile dysfunction (ED) with low libido, but the two are very different. ED is about the mechanics—difficulty achieving or keeping an erection. Low libido, on the other hand, is a lack of sexual desire.

How to Tell the Difference

• If you want sex but can’t perform—it’s likely ED.
• If you feel no desire for sex—it could be low libido.

Why It Matters

Treatment for both conditions is different. ED usually requires medication or physical health changes. Low libido may involve hormone therapy or emotional support.

Getting the Right Help

Self-diagnosing can delay treatment. Knowing which issue you’re facing allows you to take the right steps and get your sex life back on track.
