Every year, impotence, or "erectile dysfunction," affects millions of men across the world, with one study showing that as many as half of men over the age of 40 are impotent at least part of the time. Originally, it was thought that impotence was caused by anxiety, but according to the Erectile Dysfunction Institute, up to 90 percent of all cases of impotence are physical as opposed to psychological. That's right: High cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, prostate cancers or inflammations, and hormonal imbalances cause the vast majority of all cases of impotence. The good news is that medical science has proved that all of these conditions can be virtually eliminated (and even cured) with a low-fat vegan diet.
Viagra and other anti-impotence drugs may get you through the night, but a vegetarian diet can get you through your life. Numerous physicians and nutritionists agree that the best way to prevent artery blockage as well as multiple other conditions that cause impotence is to eat a diet high in fiber, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These foods will scrub the plaque off the arterial walls to get your blood flowing and your love life going again in no time.

There are probably other environmental factors that lead to our new favorite condition (ED).
MrsSpringsteen said:Maybe some men are just oversexed- tired, worn out, too focused on sex as opposed to relationship, etc, etc. That has nothing to do with PETA of course, just an EDitorial comment.

Workload may be one factor - longer work weeks, higher stress. I'd also look at processed food intake, caffeine and alcohol consumption, etc. before I'd target meat.
