From the Paper:

"Erectile dysfunction is a problem that greatly affects men and their sexual performance. In fact, 34% of American men aged 51 to 88 experience severe erectile dysfunction and 52% of all men aged 40 to 70 experienced some degree of impotence. These numbers account for 16% of the general male population, estimating that 1 in 5 men will experience sexual dysfunction in their lifetimes, Handy. Erectile dysfunction occurs when there are erection problems, medical causes, or physiological factors associated with sexual intimacy. However, over the past several years, many pharmaceutical companies have developed both chemical products and non-chemical solutions to help fight this problem."
