you are actually treating the root cause of ED, not just chasing a quick fix. So stay with me. This episode will change everything. So let me ask you something.

They would lose the ability to respond the way they used to. Well, the same thing happened to the penile tissue. Specifically the corpus cavernosum. This is a spongy erectile tissue that fills with blood during an erection, 40 times more with blood. It is a smooth muscle, and like any muscle in the body, if it does not get regular blood flow, regular stimulation, regular use like an erection, it deteriorates.
