First I am not a doctor and do not pretend to be one on the internet. That said, I have been on blood thinners, statins and BP meds for over ten years. What research I have done says that such meds can cause ED as can age, lack of exercise and other lifestyle and health conditions. My doctor prescribed Viagra for me and I have had no serious side effects. I would suggest your male companion see his physician for a full physical and a consultation about the possibility of taking an ED med.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for his or his partner's sexual needs.
