Up to half of men under the age of 50 are suffering from erectile dysfunction as impotence rates have more than doubled in the last 25 years, according to a study. Scientists have warned that the condition is becoming alarmingly common for men under 50 but said it could help identify those most at risk of heart attacks, strokes or premature death. Erectile dysfunction can be an early warning sign of high blood pressure or cholesterol and diabetes. Impotence has also been linked with increased risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD), dementia and early death. Anna Kessler, the first author of the study, said physicians should consider screening for erectile dysfunction because men may not want to voluntary offer the information themselves. "Due to the sensitive nature of the topic, physicians should consider screening for erectile dysfunction in at-risk patients, as information may not be volunteered," she said. Ms Kessler, a urologist at Kings College London, added that young men aged under 40 years had an exceptionally high prevalence of erectile dysfunction. Her team pooled data from dozens of studies involving tens of thousands of participants, from teenagers to adults in their 80s, across the world.

As erections depend on a healthy blood flow to the penis, erectile dysfunction can be linked to serious illnesses. The study follows a survey of young British men earlier this year that found six in ten avoided sex because of performance anxiety. Around 11.7 million men in the UK said they struggled with sex, with one in eight experiencing problems every time, according to the research. In 2017, it was revealed the number of prescriptions for Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs containing the active ingredient sildenafil had tripled in Britain in a decade.

Lots of foods are estrogenic too. Soy and dairy are the 2 biggest ones. Boosting testosterone can help, but it won't be as effective as eliminating bad estrogens from your diet, which can actually convert the little testosterone you have left into more estrogen. Cruciferous veggies are best to help eliminate bad estrogens.

Unsurprising considering the amount of estrogen men consume daily without even realizing it

Probably because dudes these days are watching hours and hours of the nastiest very specific interest/fetish HD porn at 14.

Once you raise the bar for stimulus you gotta keep matching or exceeding it.
