If I were to ask you, “What is the worst part about Erectile Dysfunction?” You’d probably answer, “Oh, I don’t know, the dysfunctional part?”

And up until about 5 minutes ago, I’d have agreed with you. Having a little buddy who’s just being lazy and worthless down there sounds about like the worst thing ever. But don’t worry, there’s something even worse about it! If you have ED, you’ll also probably die way faster than those with  functioning erections around you.

In a recent study surveying the health of 1500 participants, those with erectile dysfunction had a death rate that was twice as high as everyone else in the study. Fancy stuff! Not only is there no tingle in your dingle, but your mortality is also on the line. Happy Friday!
