Why are so many young men struggling with erectile dysfunction?

fluffyfirenoodle · 2025-08-22T20:09:50+00:00

When asked to describe an “authentic male,” his clients often say “strength, power, courage.” Pierni counters with a different answer: love — the courage to be vulnerable and honest.

Ah yes, because being vulnerable totally won't be weaponized by the same partners making the relationship dysfunctional in the first place. I tooooooooooooooootally haven't seen multiple cases of women justifying their cheating on their man being too emotionally soft.

Cause everybody's full to the brim with microplastics, probably

Women are congratulated for being obese, hairy, rock men’s haircuts and expect to be a power dynamic in relationships. Meanwhile men are shamed and passed over for being slightly overweight, short or physically weak/disabled.

The writing is on the wall for why men aren’t attracted to modern women that practice feminism.

PFAS ???

mw136913 · 2025-08-22T19:58:28+00:00

Have you seen these women???

Finasteride can cause it. It's medication that can halt balding somewhat.

Systematic discrimination and demoralization in a world where pornography with potentially eternally escalating intensity is freely available, those things might have something to do with it.

You aren't simply a local guy worrying about local competition anymore, you get the impression you are competing with people of the highest global echelon, in an ever more atomized yet international world.
You need strong social belonging, support and connection to be able to withstand these kinds of pressures, and we're arguably more atomized and vulnerable than ever.

Isolation, sedentary lifestyles, modern diets, class separation, screen addiction and a myriad of other modern issues all play a part.

When measuring the health of a human being, the sense of meaning and belonging would be reasonable primary requirements to look at, because a life is about longevity, and without a proper platform you can't even make it to tomorrow, and progression becomes unlikely.
Ill health, and psychological issues all kill sex drive.

The social fabric is damaged and the consequences are many.

Trust was a thing for me. I have to actually trust you yo be intimate.

Severedheads · 2025-08-22T20:01:00+00:00

Nothing gets me softer than a septum piercing and armpit hair.

RubberDuckDown · 2025-08-22T23:27:26+00:00

SSRIs

Most cases were strongly linked to psychological, rather than physical, causes. Other studies have suggested psychological or emotional factors may explain as many as 85 per cent of ED cases.

Do you think this could be a result of the environment shaped by feminism?

SidewaysGiraffe · 2025-08-22T21:48:12+00:00

Pollution isn't helping- much of the modern CO2-centered environmentalist hysteria, regardless of its intention, is distraction people from other, more traditional forms of pollution, much to our detriment.

mervmann · 2025-08-23T05:32:13+00:00

It's probably a combination of microplastics everywhere and all the pesticides and herbicides laced in all our food plus all the added preservatives and soy bean and other grain oils, fructose, etc. and the dozens of other ingredients like potassium bromide and others in our food to extend the shelf life which are all known to have negative health impacts.

Testosterone levels have plummeted. Why are they all pretending that does not play a role.

randonumero · 2025-08-22T21:40:14+00:00

Younger men are more likely to be undersexed while having been exposed to pornography than older generations. That puts them in a position where in addition to arousal being difficult the parts may have atrophied due to misuse or no use.

plaudite_cives · 2025-08-23T09:28:58+00:00

not enough exercise, high obesity rates, testosterone levels plummeting, men being used to over stimulation from ubiquitous porn. Average women being fatter and thus less attractive doesn't help it either

GarlicFalse3779 · 2025-08-22T20:24:08+00:00

And what is the man confident of? What is his outlook after sex? Does the woman get pregnant? Becoming neurotic about something? Use and discard because you have something better? Getting an emotional dependency and being labeled "emotional"...... What is the trust that society is giving to men?

P3NDRA60N · 2025-08-22T21:40:31+00:00

Obviously infant male circumcision which reduces sexual sensitivity %75. Although, elevated estrogen as a byproduct of modern materials and estrogen doped foods/medicines are certainly a factor as well.

antixwick999 · 2025-08-22T20:26:23+00:00

It's kinda hard to get turned on by a population that is actively hating. And natural if you stop using a body parts the more likely it is to deteriorate. And this is the least sexually active generation of men so it makes sense

Zeus1196 · 2025-08-22T20:12:42+00:00

Excessive consumption of pornography and masturbation, due to the difficulty of being in a relationship nowadays, unfortunately.

breathofanarchy · 2025-08-22T21:01:16+00:00

Over-mastubation, hormonal changes (loss of testosterone), depression, loneliness

Adventurous_Design73 · 2025-08-25T19:27:00+00:00

Male genital mutilation

HuumanDriftWood · 2025-08-22T21:40:38+00:00

Quality of women.

Ninjurk · 2025-08-22T20:55:33+00:00

Porn

chefdeletat · 2025-08-22T20:14:37+00:00

Porn

mratlas666 · 2025-08-23T14:48:19+00:00

Confidence or lack there of. More of a mental mind fuck to live up to this impossible standard to perform just how the media (porn included) portrays us?

Porn and heart-damaging "vaccines" -

with millennial and gen z women soaking in "body positivity" as honorable mentions.

Eat my ass I said what I said

CoolDragon · 2025-08-22T22:06:38+00:00

Because of the internet.

And the internet is for Porn ^ForPorn!

Lazy-Exchange8895 · 2025-08-23T04:00:20+00:00

Because of the women they’re dating? The porn on the Internet and excessive masturbation don’t help, but I have a feeling today’s “modern women“ are the true problem

greennurse61 · 2025-08-23T08:29:39+00:00

And why are doctors so often refusing to help them? Especially if they aren’t married?

My best friend has been seeking help for almost a decade. I’ve put him in contact with several doctors and personally requested they actually try to help him. Other than trimix, most doctors just tell men to stop trying. It’s sad.
