Methods: All patients having erectile dysfunction (ED) after marriage with normal nocturnal erections were enrolled in this prospective study from 01-09-2006 to 31-08-2008. Reassurance & Sildenafil 100 mg at bed time was given to every patient and dose reduced to 50 mg after 3 successful intercourses. Patients who did not respond to PDE-5 inhibitor (3 doses), were given intracavernosal injection alprostadil and shifted to PDE-5 inhibitor after successful intercourse. Results: Total number of patients was 45 with age range of 20-39 years. Mean duration elapsed before seeking medical advice was 10±14 days. Eighty percent patients had successful intercourse on first dose of Sildenafil with 95% confidence interval (CI) and 13% patients responded to 2 nd dose of Sildenafil. Twelve percent patients suffered mild, well tolerable complications. Conclusions: Honeymoon impotence is not an uncommon condition in some special population. Sildenafil proved to be effective, with high success rate and few tolerable complications.
