So dopamine can trigger the erection, but it also plays a role in sexual motivation. For instance, if we see or think about something that is sexually stimulating, dopamine is released in the brain. This release of dopamine makes us want to have sex. So when you have low level of dopamine, it can lead to ed, because dopamine is necessary for the chain of events that lead to your erection, as I mentioned earlier. And if the level is too low, the brain is not going to be able to send the signals that are necessary for an erection to occur. The brain has to send signals to the nerve, and the nerve has to send signal to the penis. So there are many things that can cause low level doping, such as depression, Parkinson's disease, and recreational drug use.
