|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that on-demand therapy with tadalafil, as measured by the spontaneity domain of the PAIRS questionnaire, increases the possibility to spontaneous sexual activity in ED patients, compared with any other previous oral ED treatment.;Secondary Objective: 1. Estimate the level of quality of life in treated ED patients in order to be able to compare it with existing data on the quality of life of the general population and patients suffering from other diseases and symptoms. The quality of life will be measured using the 15D and LiSat-11 scales. 2. Estimate whether the response to on-demand therapy with tadalafil, in comparison with previous oral ED treatment, has additional beneficial effect on the psychological/interpersonal aspects in sexual function and the patients general quality of life measured by the sexual self-confidence and time concerns scores of the domains of the PAIRS scale, the 15D scale, teh LiSat-11 scale and the global treatment satisfaction assessment questions ;Primary end point(s): Change in the score and profiles of the questionnaires PAIRS 23, LiSAt-11 and 15D. | — |
