Q: can ED become a livelihood issue?
%%A: Not “likelihood” as defined in my bposts (le2S.Liu). However, availability and affordability of treatments is quite important to the wellbeing (of a man or his spouse), similar to dental, skin healthcare or basic education.
%%A: ED can jeopardize relationships, mental well-being,, and can become a livelihood issue.

In the extreme case, a dissatisfied partner can blame the man. Such behavior statistically increases the risk of break-up, esp. if no children involved.

When it hits an individual, ED is usually a small test of his overall livelihood condition [health, economic, support network,,,]. Actually, a real-life marriage is often a fragile union, and on it a family is built. ED would not be a “small” test if it affects fertility, marriage, family bonding. In such a scenario, a man would need to devote considerable resources to manage the condition and its /fallout/.

For some individuals, the t$cost of ED management can be heavy. Consider pills, medical grade pumps, rings, consultations, diagnostics, fancy treatments,,,

Q: Why do I feel “on higher ground” relative to other guys, even though I have ED issues?
%%A: EDyw is a widespread condition. Like a storm, it can hit anyone esp. as he grows older. When you are free of ED, you don’t notice high ground vs low ground. When ED happens to you, then you experience a rude awakening. My book [[中国男人书]] explains many difficulties faced by people on the low ground. In the Simlim adult shop , I also explained to the lady that I’m lucky on multiple fronts.
