sexual dysfunction

A 38-year-old software engineer presents to his physician, reporting a gradual onset of difficulty achieving and maintaining erections over the past 8 months. He describes reduced rigidity even during situations of high arousal and reports no spontaneous morning erections. His medical history includes well-controlled essential hypertension, managed with lisinopril, and generalized anxiety disorder, for which he takes sertraline 100 mg daily. He is in a stable long-term relationship and denies significant relationship stress. On examination, secondary sexual characteristics are normal, peripheral pulses are palpable, and sensation is intact. Given these findings, what are the most appropriate initial diagnostic steps and potential management considerations?
