This is a post about erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and other sexual function topics that impact men.

We couldn’t write that in the subject line because apparently it sets all sorts of spam filters into overdrive.

But we want to be explicit about what this post is about - because all too often this is a conversation that stays hidden in the shadows or in banter down the pub. Or gets talked about in half-sentences.

And it means a lot of men are struggling in silence.

We’re going to get into what it is, why it affects men so deeply, and what we can do about it.

The rest of this article is one of the monthly paid pieces for JACK subscribers, we’d love it if you’d consider upgrading, or you can redeem your free article token to unlock this article.

JACK is a mostly reader-supported subscription so that the weekly content is both valued, and valuable. The rest of this article is a paid piece - click here if you’d like to upgrade (monthly cost = the average London price of a pint of Neck Oil).
