Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. While it may feel isolating, ED is extremely common and often develops naturally as men age. About 40 percent of men in their forties experience some degree of ED, and the likelihood increases by roughly ten percent with each decade. More than twelve million men in the United States are estimated to be affected.
