Introduction: We aimed to research the frequency and affecting factors of erectile dysfunction (ED) among diabetic men and non-diabetic men in a control group in this study. Materials and Methods: 100 diabetic men and 100 non-diabetic men were included in this case-control study. In the case and control group, the questionnaire was applied to determine the socio-demographic features. Diabetic group was examined about diabetic features and complications resulting from diabetes. The questionnaire of Sexual Health Inventory For Men (SHIM), which has five questions was carried out to examine erectile dysfunction. The patients who had <18 SHIM score were accepted as erectile dysfunction positive. Results: The prevalence of ED was 76.0% in diabetic group and 32.0% in control group. The prevalence of ED among diabetic group was significantly higher than control group (p<0.001). Statistically, significant relationship was found between two groups related to the incidence of ED, age distribution, job and education levels (p<0.05). Statistically there was also significant relationship between ED and the type of diabetes (p=0.002) and duration of diabetes (p=0.032) in the diabetic group. Conclusion: Diabetes caused an obvious elevation in the prevalence of ED, significant relationship was found between the duration of diabetes and ED. The frequency of ED among diabetic men was 6.7 times higher than non-diabetics. The doctors have to alert the patients about ED, emphasize the importance of giving education and planning the treatment about diabetes to the patients due to regulation of diabetes.
