Sexual disorders are dysfunctions that prevent one or several partners from enjoying sex and / or performing a reproductive function. There are four key components of male sexual function: libido, erection, ejaculation, and orgasm. Dysfunction occurs when the operation of at least one of these components is disrupted.

Viagra (generic name sildenafil) is a widely-used medication for treating erectile dysfunction (ED). You probably don’t have a clue how many men use this blue pill. According to a study by E. Selvin et al. (Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, 2007), prevalence of the disease was 18.4% in males aged >/=20, so the scientists suggested that ED affected more than 18 million men in the United States. As of today, these figures may be even higher.

Urologists, andrologists, and psychologists say that abstinence from sex (sexual restraint), especially long-term one, may be quite harmful to the human body.
