What I find interesting is that in the younger population, like the 20s and 30s, the prevalence or the proportion of men at like 8% when you're 20 and when you're 30, 12%. So not necessarily that erectile dysfunction is an older man problem. It's also present, though, in small numbers in younger men. Now, 8% in your 20s is, I think it's not small. It's about 1 in 10. And according to the study in the journal Sexology, indicate that younger men have eds more related to more substance use and alcohol, and they didn't really say anything about porn.
