Up to a third of young men now experience erectile dysfunction. Viagra’s core market used to be older men in poor health, but according to the latest studies and surveys, between 14% and 35% of young men experience ED. Some young men have started their own support movements, such as NoFap (slang for “no masturbating”), founded in the US by Alexander Rhodes. (Sharpe observes that young men now “equate masturbation with pornography – they don’t see them separately”.) “It’s not dealing with the underlying problem.”When the drugs don’t work, Sharpe has heard of young men getting penile implants (prosthetics implanted in the penis to help erections).
