Bad News Fellas

This post is mainly for the males because it pertains to erectile dysfunction among the college population. So apparently, erectile dysfunction does not primarily occur when men are old or even middle-aged. It can also occur at a young age and is caused by a few factors which are very pertinent to college aged individuals. As the article explains, through their survey, the researchers were able to determine that erectile dysfunction is partly associated with consumption of alcohol and other drugs. Depression and anxiety are also factors that associated with erectile dysfunction among this age group. It was also determined through their sample population that about 1 in 4 young males have a sexual problem. Another interesting thing that the article mentioned is that taking ED medication does not do much good to increase performance if you are already at your maximum erectile potential. Although this excess of drug use and other problems may or may not pertain to anyone in our class, it is interesting to see how a “college lifestyle” can affect sexual performance at such a young age.
