What will be an ideal response?
Students' answers may vary.
Erectile disorder is a male's inability to achieve or maintain an erection. The rare case is a male who has never been able to have an erection, and the more common case is a male who, though now unable to have an erection, has had one at least once in the past. Erectile dysfunction is not an uncommon problem, even among younger men-about 5% to 10% of men under 50 have erection problems. It is the rare man who has never experienced it at least once during his lifetime. This is hardly surprising because the ability to achieve and hold an erection is sensitive to alcohol, drugs, performance fears, anxiety, and a host of other factors. Erectile dysfunction becomes a more serious problem when it occurs more than occasionally. Drugs such as Viagra have brought about significant advances in the treatment of erectile dysfunction and have brought the disorder into the open through a constant barrage of commercials on television and in magazines. Viagra treats erectile dysfunction by increasing the flow of blood through a man's penis and producing an erection relatively quickly.
