A. This article is a perfect companion to the previous two questions. It deals with the mental aspects of sex and Erectile Dysfunction (ED). You are wondering if there is a correlation between ED and being submissive顺从 — willing to obey, based on the one sentence “… men who are submissive顺从 — willing to obey are much more likely to develop erectile dysfunction than those who are not…”

If you read through the rest of the article you will see their definition of the word “submissive顺从 — willing to obey” is not about men who desire to be dominated by a woman or men who are involved in a Female Domination relationship. It is talking about men who suffer from some sort of anxiety that hinders their performance (“Take the case of a man with performance anxiety -- perhaps the most common psychological cause of erectile dysfunction.”)

The word submissive顺从 — willing to obey here is talking about being on the receiving end of some sort of relationship conflict ("Younger couples need to work with someone because the issues are quite often buried -- issues of power, dominance, virility. Often ED is just a symptom of a conflict that exists between a couple.")
