The sections of Rmmaquinasbase, one subject at a time

  1. The basics

    Erectile dysfunction means trouble getting or keeping an erection firm enough for sex, according to the NIDDK.[1]

  2. Age and how common it is

    The condition grows more common with age. About 40% of men are affected at age 40, and 70% report it by age 70, according to the NIDDK.[1]

  3. Blood flow and the body

    Conditions that limit the delivery of blood to the penis are the most common cause of ED, according to the Cleveland Clinic.[3]

  4. The heart connection

    In many cases, ED can be the first symptom of another underlying problem, including heart disease, the Cleveland Clinic notes.[3]

  5. Diabetes and erections

    A 2017 review of 145 studies found ED in 52.5% of men with diabetes, a little more than half.[6]

  6. Habits that matter

    Smoking is strongly associated with ED, and studies support a benefit of quitting for erectile function, according to a systematic review.[7]

  7. Couples and intimacy

    ED can reach beyond the bedroom, bringing a loss of intimacy between partners, along with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem, the NIDDK notes.[1]

Inside the publication

Where the reporting goes

The articles follow the ordinary places where this subject shows up: a morning walk, a checkup, a pharmacy counter, a bedside table.

  • A man in his fifties stands relaxed on a seaside promenade at sunrise after his morning run, breathing easily and looking toward the sea
    the movement section
  • A doctor's hands fitting a blood pressure cuff on a middle-aged patient's arm
    the heart and the checkup
  • A compounding pharmacist weighing powder for men's health capsules in a clean laboratory
    how medicines are made
  • An unlabelled amber pharmacy bottle of capsules beside a glass of water and a wristwatch on a bedside table
    questions at the bedside

The movement section

Each active day fills a square.

Adults need 150 minutes of moderate activity, such as brisk walking, each week, according to the CDC. A missed day erases nothing; the next one still counts.

  • Done

Example An example month of walking days, done and missed. Individual habits vary.

Example: 30 of 30 days done, longest streak 30 days.
