Well, it isn't normal, guys—it's a sure sign that you have serious health problems—probably cardiovascular problems—and almost assuredly hormonal problems as well.

Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) "And recent research confirms a strong connection between impotence and cardiovascular disease.

Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.) "One patient confided that the impotence that had long bothered him had been cured in the course of the study.

Mackie still makes him gravy, but she makes it with fat-free broth, and he pours it over mashed potatoes. And Don still goes deer-hunting every year. But there are a few differences from the old days." - Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D., Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease (Get the book.)

When this happened, the wife was forced, much to her distaste, to assist her husband by rubbing his penis.

Groddeck did not stop the analysis here." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)
