The article says "erectile dysfunction" sometimes and "sperm production" sometimes. Which is it? Those things seem like they could diverge quite a lot!
Clickbait title. First sentence of the article is <i>Spending a lot of leisure time on the computer may be linked to an increased risk of erectile dysfunction in men, research suggests.</i><p>When they say <i>may</i> they mean <i>most likely doesn't</i>.
It can be the other kind of dysfunction, where you get wood over and over again even without internal or external stimuli. Self-sustaining the wood is still no more than a matter of practice and (self-coerced) spaced repetition.
As if blood going to our brains and not our dicks is a bad thing!<p>Edit: Just thought I’d drop this gem here to show the lengths men sometimes go to keep their “mojo”: <a href="https://youtu.be/5IZrYeUX3MI?si=hhVcQHrZEJk0R8HG" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/5IZrYeUX3MI?si=hhVcQHrZEJk0R8HG</a>
Is it really about "long-term leisure computer use", or maybe it's more about "long-term sedentary/lack-of-exercise lifestyle"?
Did they look at what KIND of leisure is involved in the computer "leisure" time? Did they just ask the participants how much time they spent on the computer?<p>In this day of 24h/24 porn accessible online it stands to reason that would be a major contributor in the ED problem.<p>Having said that spending a long time sitting without moving probably doesn't contribute to our nuggets'health.
> The analysis, published in Andrology, also suggests these men showed a stronger genetic tendency for leisure computer use.<p>Ah, yes, the "computer" gene.<p>Eh?
