How Often do Men have Difficulty Maintaining an Erection?

Erectile dysfunction is very common. And it happens to the best of us! Although it is more common in men over 40, it can affect all ages.

Results from the “Massachusetts Male Aging Study”, which was the largest survey of male erectile dysfunction ever conducted, showed that:

• 52% of all men between the ages of 40 and 70 have some degree of erectile dysfunction (classified as mild, moderate or severe).
• At least 1 in 10 men cannot get an erection at all (complete ED).
• The majority of causes of erectile dysfunction are physical in nature.
• There is a strong association between age and ED – that is, the prevalence of ED increases with age. (While 39% of men at the age of 40 are affected by ED, 67% of men at the age of 70 are affected.) *
