In men, free testosterone is responsible for body energy, stamina and sex drive. As a man grows older, he tends to suffer from low sex drive, poor stamina and lack of sexual interest. This is as a result of the testosterone getting bound by the hormone building globulin. Only 2% of testosterone are left free which are responsible for providing the body with energy and sex drive. Normally, a man should have about 800 free testosterone. Lesser number may result in erectile dysfunction.

Luckily, some of the mentioned causes of erectile dysfunction can be remedied or at least reduced.

*Through reduction of alcohol consumption.

*Reducing the use of tobacco.

*Engagement in sports activities.

*Regular medical checkups.

It is also a good idea to consult experts on the topic and/or finding a treatment.

Some men, due to one reason or the other find it difficult to discuss this topic. Worse still is the tendency to hide sexual inability from friends and sexual partner/s. This is a very bad behaviour in solving problems associated with erectile dysfunction!
