The United States of Erectile Dysfunction: 30million men have it
The number of men seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction has soared in recent years amid what some have described as a 'silent epidemic'.
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Viagra is used to enhance work outs.Hi Pierce,
I think many guys are exaggerating their problems,that they may obtain a Doctors Prescription to get Sildenafil Citrate at the Chemist,are actually using it as an enhancer rather than a dire necessity....I fit in the latter category these days but until being maybe 65 Years old it wasn't absolutely necessary,in this Country many young Men use this to give them better Svex even if they have had a few Glasses!
Porn is pretty much the entire cause. I know men are getting unhealthier but that probably only accounts for a small part of it.Porn plays a big role in this.
Cialis also increases BDNF in the brain and improves prostate health. These are genuinely some of the closest things to miracle drugs.Viagra is used to enhance work outs.
Yo Pierce, how do you get *doubled*? You linked the Daily Mail, you provide the synopsis. Lol. The author, Cassidy Morrison, is a complete hack, and I'm not wasting any more damn time trying to figure it out while waiting for the phucking page to load.![]()

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
*cough cough*the vaccine*cough cough*Gee...lots of female infertility issues in recent years too. All kinds of issues for people, actually.
Also, phuck the Daily Mail for the 1,000th time. Tried to see when the study was conducted but my laptop froze. But article appears unsourced.
However, if you think of it from a circular point of view, the reason men are trying to perform better at sex is because of porn and feminism. Both men and women now have high standards of sex, and what you do in the bedroom can make or break your social status. Which is the exact problem going on here. Which is leading to trips to go for sex enhancing drugs to make their d*cks last longer. Before, most men just nutted in the woman and was done with it. And sometimes, if the emotion really was there, the couple can last for hours without any enhancements at all.Hi Pierce,

I think everyone should revisit any studies after the fiasco that is the health industry in general, which is currently lead by profit rather than by actual concern for people's health. My quip is that there is always a consequence to placing outside agents into your body, and cialis and viagra aren't as healthy as people claim. Even if the lowering of prostate cancer is true, that does not account for any other problems that can occur from using those drugs. Headaches, runny noses, constricted blood vessels to name a few all can be injuring and lethal. Remember all the excuses they say about female birth control, then realize all the fallout of women being mass diagnosed. It has been a great disaster to the female gender.Porn is pretty much the entire cause. I know men are getting unhealthier but that probably only accounts for a small part of it.
There are already many studies showing porn addiction causes ED and other sexual dysfunctions. And there are endless posts about it on forums. But this gets no mainstream attention.
I've been telling people for ten years that porn will be the cigarettes of the 21st century. It will probably take a few more decades before people wake up.
Cialis also increases BDNF in the brain and improves prostate health. These are genuinely some of the closest things to miracle drugs.
And the pr0n-industrial complex.This is a big win for the pharmaceutical companies $$$$$$$$
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
These PDE-5 inhihibitors were originally designed to improve heart function and were incidentally found to be effective for ED.Hi Pierce,
On Googling in "Does Viagra improve your cardio vascular and Prostate health"It seems it really does,quite remarkably.....So much so that it seems every older Male should consider regularly taking it or the similarly beneficial Cialis or Levitra....Accepting that at face value,I ask myself,do we benefit most from the enhanced circulation of blood to the heart and more regular use of the Prostate,or that feeling of satisfaction and worth that happy Svex provides?
Those side effects are extremely benign... transient discomfort is way better than some kind of toxicity to the liver or DNA or psychoactive effects (which there are none).My quip is that there is always a consequence to placing outside agents into your body, and cialis and viagra aren't as healthy as people claim. Even if the lowering of prostate cancer is true, that does not account for any other problems that can occur from using those drugs. Headaches, runny noses, constricted blood vessels to name a few all can be injuring and lethal.

And both are more closely involved than many thing.And the pr0n-industrial complex.
Are you sure? Are you really sure no one has died from either or been injured? Are you really, really REALLLY sure?It does not constrict blood vessels btw, it's a vasodilator though a fairly mild one. No one has ever died from viagra or cialis as far as I know. Also for the record, cialis is the safest of them (maybe levitra too but I don't know much about it)
Yes. I just searched on pubmed and there's not only evidence of vasodilation but angiogenesis at least with cialis. I could only find one article indicating death associated with viagra but it was behind a paywall. From what I know the only risk of death is when you combine them with nitrites.And both are more closely involved than many thing.
Are you sure? Are you really sure no one has died from either or been injured? Are you really, really REALLLY sure?
I personally think much of it is connected to the slowly increasing obesity rate in the country. Being (pre)diabetic, which obesity is a huge risk factor for, no pun intended lol, puts you at high risk of having erectile issues.Did it really double or did patients and doctors just start looking for it more and turn it from something that was a source of deep embarrassment for many men to talk about into a routine conversation these days?
IMO, it's simply something a lot more men feel comfortable bringing up to their doctor and especially now that you can do it via online consultations.
It didn't really double, it was happening silently without me talking about it in years past.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
