In one of the first studies on sexual dysfunction on males in the military, a study in July's Journal of Sexual Medicine says that men in service who are 40 years or younger are three times more likely to suffer from sexual dysfunction than civilian males of a similar age. Some other items of note about the survey:
The study consisted of online surveys by 367 enlisted men from the ages of 21 to 40.
More than 30% reported that they suffered from erectile dysfunction.
Overall, among all participants, this was 10% more than the rate of erectile dysfunction for civilian men over 40.
However, among enlisted men aged 36-40 surveyed, the rate of erectile dysfunction was actually double the rate of erectile dysfunction for civilian men over 40.
Researchers who participated in the study speculate that the reasons for the increased erectile dysfunction in military men are due to the physical and mental toll of service. Exposure to traumatic events, constant stress, physical injuries and prolonged time away from family and friends all can cause erectile dysfunction at any age. However, something else that concerned researchers was the fact that only 10 men surveyed in the online assessments said that they were seeking help for their condition.
No matter your line of work, erectile dysfunction can be a source of embarrassment. Men concerned with what others would think are not seeking treatment because they connect their level of masculinity with their libido. However, with proper treatment of the cause of the erectile dysfunction, many men can be cured of the disease. The first step is to speak with your doctor.
