Common Sexual Health Concerns - Men

According to a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, 3 out of 10 men, and 4 out of 10 women, experience sexual issues at some point in their lives.

Relationships and feelings of self-confidence suffer when sexual dysfunctions are kept secret and untreated. A loss of self-worth and feelings of failure are common for both parties within the relationship.

The most common issues faced by men include: premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and low sexual desire.

About one in ten men suffer from continuing or chronic erectile dysfunction, and approximately one third of men over the age of 50 are likely to have erectile difficulties.

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is defined as “the inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection that is suitable for penetration.”

It is important to distinguish erectile dysfunction from other sexual difficulties, for example, low libido or premature ejaculation.
