In a study published in 2016, based on US health insurance claims data, out of 19,833,939 US males aged ≥18 years, only 1,108,842 (5.6%), were medically diagnosed with erectile dysfunction or on a PDE5I prescription (μ age 55.2 years, σ 11.2 years).

An erection (clinically: penile erection or penile tumescence) is a physiological phenomenon in which the penis becomes firm, engorged, and enlarged. Penile erection is the result of a complex interaction of psychological, neural, vascular, and endocrine factors, and is often associated with sexual arousal, sexual attraction or libido, although erections can also be spontaneous.
Additionally, it is thought that depression, drug addiction, high levels of prolactin, low testosterone, and uses of certain medications might play a role in inhibiting dopamine. A spinal cord injury or chronic fatigue syndrome might also occasionally cause this disorder. [2] Age may also be a cause of this disorder. [3]
A common cause of anorgasmia, in both women and men, is the use of antidepressants, particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Though reporting of anorgasmia as a side effect of SSRIs is not precise, studies have found that 17–41% of users of such medications are affected by some form of sexual dysfunction.
In ischemic priapism, most of the penis is hard; however, the glans penis is not. Much rarer priapism is secondary to blunt trauma to the perineum or penis, with laceration of the cavernous artery, which can generate an arterial-lacunar fistula resulting in a high blood flow state, hence the tumescence.
In nonischemic priapism, the entire penis is only somewhat hard. [3] Very rarely, clitoral priapism occurs in women. [4] Sickle cell disease is the most common cause of ischemic priapism. [3] Other causes include medications such as antipsychotics, SSRIs, blood thinners and prostaglandin E1, as well as drugs such as cocaine.
NoFap was founded in June 2011 by Pittsburgh web developer Alexander Rhodes after reading a thread on Reddit about a 2003 study, [5] [19] (which was retracted in 2021 due to overlap with another published article in Chinese), [20] which claimed that men who refrain from masturbation for seven days experience a 145.7% spike in testosterone levels on the seventh day.
