Men aren’t the most open of the creatures when it comes to talking about their problems, especially problems related to genital function. It’s still considered a taboo subject and most men think of it as a matter of pride for their genitals to function correctly.
However, with age, that function deteriorates, and many men start to face erectile problems. It’s one of the most common issues men deal with in their lives, it's more prevalent with people above 40, but it’s not something that comes with, as you age.
