Inclusion criteria

* Have BPH Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) based on the disease diagnostic criteria at 1st screening. * Have a history of ED based on the disease diagnostic criteria at 1st screening. * Have LUTS with a Total International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) greater than or equal to 13 at 2nd screening. * Have bladder outlet obstruction as defined by a Peak Urine Flow Rate (Qmax) of greater than or equal to 4 to less than or equal to 15 milliliter (mL)/second (sec) (from a prevoid total bladder volume as assessed by ultrasound of greater than or equal to 150 to less than or equal to 550 mL and a minimum voided volume of 125 mL) at 2nd screening. * Make at least 4 sexual intercourse attempts during the 4-weeks after 2nd screening as recorded in the Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) diary. * Are sexually active with an adult female partner, and expect to remain sexually active with the same adult female partner for the duration of the study. * Agree not to use any other approved or experimental BPH, overactive bladder (OAB), or ED treatments as indicated in the protocol at any time during the study. * Have not taken treatments indicated in the protocol prior to the 2nd screening.

Exclusion criteria

* Current treatment with nitrates. * Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) greater than 10.0 nanogram (ng)/mL at 1st screening. * PSA greater than or equal to 4.0 to less than or equal to 10.0 ng/mL at 1st screening if prostate malignancy has not been ruled out to the satisfaction of a urologist. * Clinical evidence of prostate cancer. * Bladder postvoid residual volume (PVR) greater than or equal to 300 mL by ultrasound determination at 1st screening. * History or clinical evidence of certain pelvic, bladder, urinary tract, or urinary retention conditions described in the protocol. * Lower urinary tract instrumentation (including prostate biopsy) within 30 days of 1st screening. * Clinical evidence of severe hepatic impairment at 1st screening. * Current neurologic disease or condition associated with neurogenic bladder (for example, Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis). * History of significant renal insufficiency as defined by the protocol. * History of ED caused by other primary sexual disorders including premature ejaculation or ED caused by untreated endocrine disease. * Presence of penile deformity judged by the investigator to be clinically significant. * History of certain cardiac or cardiovascular conditions described in the protocol. * History of resuscitated cardiac arrest. * Current treatment with certain medications described in the protocol. * Scheduled or planned surgery (or any procedure requiring general, spinal, or epidural anesthesia) during the course of the study. * History of significant central nervous system injuries (including stroke or spinal cord injury) within 6 months of 1st screening. * Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) greater than 9% at 1st screening. * Prior treatment with phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors judged by the investigator to be ineffective.

Pre-assignment details

There is a 4-week washout during Screening in order to assess symptoms and uroflowmetry data in the absence of therapy. After the screening/washout period, subjects began a 4-week single-blind, placebo lead-in period to assess treatment and study procedure compliance and to establish baseline levels.

Least squares (LS) mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model includes terms for treatment group, region, baseline covariate, baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

Change From Baseline in Yes Responses to Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) Diary Question 4 at Week 12 Endpoint

Assessed as the mean change from baseline in the percentage of Yes responses to the SEP diary Question 4, Were you satisfied with the hardness of your erection? Data are presented as the mean percentage of yes responses per the number of sexual attempts for a participant during a study period. Least squares (LS) mean of change from baseline to endpoint is from an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The model includes terms for treatment group, region, baseline covariate, baseline-by-treatment interaction and treatment-by-region interaction.

Time frame: Baseline, 12 weeks

Population: Participants with non-missing baseline value and at least one non-missing post baseline value.

Change From Baseline in Yes Responses to Sexual Encounter Profile (SEP) Diary Question 5

Assessed as the mean change from baseline in the percentage of Yes responses to the SEP diary Question 5, Were you satisfied overall with this sexual experience?

Clinician Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I) at Week 12 Endpoint

A scale that measures clinician's rating of the total change in the patient's urinary symptoms at endpoint compared with the start of treatment. Scores range from 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse).The data are presented as the number of participants in each of the seven categories: very much better (1); much better (2); a little better (3); no change (4); a little worse (5); much worse (6); very much worse (7).

Time frame: 12 weeks

Population: Participants started study medication, and had non-missing data.

Erectile Function General Assessment Questionnaire (EF-GAQ)

The EF-GAQ consisted of two questions: (1) Has the treatment you have been taking during this study improved your erections? and (2) If yes, has the treatment improved your ability to engage in sexual activity? Each question has a Yes/No response.

Time frame: 12 weeks

Population: Participants started study medication, and had non-missing data.
