GENTLEMEN:
It's more common than you think

According to research, about 50% of men aged over 40 have some problems of maintaining hardness²⁰.

It should not be all in your head. It is not just a part of aging that you have to accept. It is a real medical condition,
so it should be addressed like one.
If you think you have such symptoms, talk to a doctor.

對硬不了的誤解

「硬不了」並非完全為心理問題，亦並非必然的老化現象。

以下是一些關於

「硬不了」
的迷思…

吸煙會「硬不了」嗎？吸煙會嚴重損害血管，影響血液循環系統，從而增加出現「硬不了」的機會⁷。
頻密的親密行為會影響硬度？不會!頻密的親蜜行為和硬度並無關係⁹。
硬度重要嗎？當然重要。大多數的伴侶都認為硬度是理想親密生活中重要的元素，亦有硏究顯示硬度和親密生活滿意度有著正面影響²⁵。
飲酒後「硬不了」？研究指出一般飲酒，如非大量的飲用，基本上和「硬不了」並無關係⁸。不過攝取酒精過多的確會影響大多數男士的表現，令勃起出現困難⁸。為免「硬不了」，還是少飲為妙！
保健食品能預防「硬不了」？現在並無任何研究顯示保健食品或聲稱壯陽的產品可以預防「硬不了」，不過研究指出多吃魚、蔬菜、生果及紅酒或有幫助¹¹。
