It is a taboo that, once lifted, can save lives. In certain circumstances, erection problems - referred to as “erectile dysfunction” in medical jargon - should not remain within the four walls of the bedroom.

Studies have shown that in the presence of erectile dysfunction, the risk of coronary heart disease at ten years is doubled between 40 and 50 years. Others have estimated that the onset of these disorders statistically precedes the onset of a major cardiovascular problem, such as a myocardial infarction, by about three years.
