Why more men than ever can’t get hard
Erectile dysfunction is on the rise for young men, leading to what researchers are calling a “crisis in male sexuality”. The scientific reasons why men are struggling to “get hard” are surprising and fascinating – today we break down all the science and ways it could be fixed.

I think these statistics are heavily skewed due to a few key factors. A couple of big ones (pun intended) are that more men are willing to admit to it as the stigma decreases while at the same time there is now a medical solution that warrants the need to tell a doctor. That medical solution ties into the other example which is that many men are using these drugs even though they don't actually have ED.

I'm going to guess it's to do with drugs or depression/anxiety

The stats show over 30% of men under 30 are still virgins; but the girls aren't having this problem as the "Chads" are getting an average of over 200 women. This increases depression and SSRI use and corn use.

THC makes you so relaxed that the second anyone comes anywhere near you… boing. Bouncing out of your pants.

Oxidative stress and extremely underestimated, it is also the main reason why people stop having morning wood.

one thing that needs to be discussed I think is the fact that male testosterone levels have been decreasing rapidly recently. each new generation of men has, on average, lower T levels than the one that came before it

A woman undresses in front of me, caresses me…..but I could not get an erection……She thinks I have ED….But that is not the case…..I KNOW. it is because she is not the right turn-on. Not the right fetish. She did not look a certain way. She looked high class and noble, like she could be on a coin or stamp….BUT SHE IS NOT EROTIC TO MY MIND !!!! I do not feel like trying to sexually "get at her". Honest.

Woot! I win again. I smoke weed constantly but I am not having trouble. Maybe because I am a woman? But, also I am a pack a day smoker and even the doctors at Duke hospital say there is zero indication of smoking. Pluse ox, perfect…blood pressure, perfect… no, absolutely zero indications of smoking on x-ray or scans. Yea me. My entire family smokes like chimneys, but never get taken out do to smoking. Maybe it is Cherokee thing.
No, I am hella white. I see it too. Once in a generation our Irish blood just, coalesces in one person. But it skipped two and came back hard in me.

It's porn and Social Media… the standards of beauty are so unrealistic and exaggerated that no human can compare to them. So people are chasing something that doesn't exist.
