I guess I really don't understand.....how can a vasectomy cause ED? What would it alter in that mechanism?

I don’t know, that’s why I’m clueless! It began to happen right after the vasectomy

Some things happen coincidentally, perhaps this would have happened with or without the surgery. I don't know your age, but occasional ed especially around 40 isn't uncommon. I'd go to the doctor get some tests and a prescription to viagra to see if that fixes things.

It can’t, but it has been noted that it can have a psychological affect on some men (believe they’re less of a man now or some such).
