Those figures are daunting. But it’s good to know the issue can be resolved, so close physically bonding relationships can continue into old age. It seems athletic people would fare better in this regard, keeping blood pumping regularly and their weight from getting too high. As long as they aren’t over taxing themselves. My partner is in shape and eats pretty well, but doesn’t sleep that well and has a lot of stress. He feels so bad when this happens and I am wondering what might help. Thanks for your response!It's common, but can be prevented. The common static is 50% of men get ED at 50, 60% at 60, 70% at 70 and so on.
However it's due to oxidative stress and nutritional deficiencies. Fix those and ED will be resolved.
Yeah stress plays a big role as well as sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is much worse than poor sleep. But eating an androgenic diet will help to buffer the stress and provide all of the nutrients for optimal erections. Stress these days is "normal" and it can be offset.Those figures are daunting.

Low carb diets usually lead to very high SHBG and low free T, which can also cause ED.@Hans Thanks! I will pass this along if I can. He may not be eating enough to support all his work plus weightlifting. He also goes very low on sugars but eats a lot of meat and veggies

@ecstatichamster I would be interested to hear more about this. How is the collagen accumulation related to lack of nocturnal erections, and does it matter whether there is emission?
Very interesting! Makes sense, thanks for explaining this. That would be a horrible challenge to deal with, but it’s good to know there is treatment. Wow!Collagen accumulation is fibrotic tissue in the cavernosa. The cavernosa require many erections in a 24 hour period to irrigate them due to poor blood supply (the penis is outside the body cavity) and they get fibrotic, called penile fibrosis. Sometimes this is diagnosed as Peyronies which is a form of penile fibrosis associated with a bend, lump or pain upon erection, but the fibrosis is more often only symptomatic due to no erections at all. I think 6 months or more of no erections causes fibrosis and will result in no erections for life unless fixed.
It doesn’t matter if there is emission, it is the constant becoming erect, losing the erection, becoming erect again, that creates the blood flow pattern that keeps penile health and good erections.
This might be a big factor then, combined with his sleep issues! He is really avoids sugars and carbs in general because he has a lot of diabetic and pre diabetic folks in his family. Even though he is fit he looks tired a lot, his face has aged a lot lately. At the gym he goes to some of the trainers were telling him he looks like he needs some carbs. I think he is so used to the anti sugar dogma it is hard for him to re consider .Low carb diets usually lead to very high SHBG and low free T, which can also cause ED.
Have him test his IGF-1, free T, SHBG, free T3 and DHT. Those should be good indicators if his low carb intake is an issue for him.This might be a big factor then, combined with his sleep issues!

Guys in the low toxins groups are reporting their "Peyronies" has been healed. The low toxin and low "vitamin A" diet makes a man strong like a bull, if ya know what I mean.Collagen accumulation is fibrotic tissue in the cavernosa.

I am glad you learned something new from the video.Thanks for sharing. I hadn’t heard this before. My partner eats a lot of meat, fat, and veggies- sort of ancestral-style with lowered sugars. He works very hard and is very lean. I have been telling him lately a little of what I’m reading here on the forum now regarding Vit A . I have never considered a vegan diet but interestingly enough the low toxin diet is low fat also. Do you follow a vegan diet with no oils? How has it been for you?
Hans,Have him test his IGF-1, free T, SHBG, free T3 and DHT. Those should be good indicators if his low carb intake is an issue for him.
Low free T, high SHBG, low IGF-1, low free T3 and low DHT (not 10:1 T to DHT ratio).Hans,
What results from testing those 5 items would indicate that he is not getting enough carbs?
So aspirin should helpI am glad you learned something new from the video.
I currently eat a low fat diet with no added oils/fats. I make a my own fermented diary yogurt and I eat it almost everyday as part of my breakfast and so I am not vegan. Most of my calories come from starches and beans/lentils. I eat vegetables that are high in vitamin A (see) and so I am not eating a diet according to the low vitamin A camp.
Over the years, I have experimented with different dietary patterns. My current diet is low fat and low processed foods (it sounds boring doesn't it). I have only been tracking my fat for about 2 months and I have not seen any changes in my weight. I keep my fat to less than 20% of my diet and I try to keept it closer to 10% than 20%. My current BMI is 22.1 which is considered normal and weight is not driving my dietary selection. I do not eat much meat. Even chicken breast is too rich (fatty) for me:

My blood pressure has dropped a little since purposefully lowering my dietary fat and it is now about 110 over 70. The body does a better job of regulating blood pressure than the medical and the pharmaceutical industries. I am not a medical professional but I believe that having too low of a blood pressure from using pharmaceuticals is not a thing. I recommend that everyone get a home blood pressure monitor and use it. Most of the time it will just be a paper weight but I consider it to be a good investment.
I consider ED, heart disease (HD) and alzheimer's (AD) (the three D of vascular issues) to be part of the same problem. Poor blood flow into the capillaries. As described in one of the videos above, ED is the canary in the coal mine. HD and AD are also happening at the same time but do not cause issues until years later.
A high fat diet causes the blood to sludge (become thicker like ketchup) so that the blood can not enter the small capillaries. This image from the attached file shows that the effects of a high fat meal lasts for hours. It is frightening to think about eating 3 high fat meals each day. Incidently, lactescence refers to the milky appearance from the fat (triglyercides) in the blood. Note how it inccrease for 5 hours. See Etiology and risk of lactescent plasma and severe hypertriglyceridemia - PubMed

AD has similar issues. See
Is Alzheimer’sdisease a neurodegenerative or a vascular disorder? (Jack C. de laTorre)
The medical/pharmaceutical industry has embraced the amyloid hypothesisdespite its repeated failures.. At first it seems to be the best and the only option.
