Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello
Lexapro (Escitalopram) is SSRI antidepressant may causes decreased sex drive or difficulty having an orgasm but not causes difficulty in erection.
I advise that patient should consult with nearby psychiatrist for effective treatment of underlying psychopatholy like depression /anxiety since these conditions are also associated with sexual dysfunction.
I find this answer helpful
