by: John Nilsen

Myth # 1: "Men with Erectile dysfunctions and other sexual dysfunctions make men have no desire whatsoever in sex." This is not true, just like women, men's sexual desire hormone levels decrease with age. This can result in that men can start having sexual problems as early as the age 30 because of lowering of testosterone levels. For most men however, usually happens around the age of 60. Another main reason is simply that men are no longer able to hold an erection. Even though they can't hold an erection, these men are still able to ejaculate and have orgasm. Most men with a male sexual dysfunction are still capable of producing sperm and procreate. In most cases, these conditions are caused by medically treatable condition.
