Produced by the British pharmaceutical company Futura Medical, Eroxon is a topical gel designed \u201cto work within 10 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the company website, Eroxon works by cooling the skin to stimulate nerve endings.

Data from clinical trials also remains unpublished, and the company website includes just four sentences under possible side effects:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Side-effects are minimal in males and their partners. A very low level of a penile burning sensation was noted in clinical studies. One female noted vaginal irritation; it was not clear whether this was related to the use of Eroxon StimGel. Some other minor side-effects were noted in the clinical studies such as low incidence of headache.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Few, however, seem willing to drill down to how we got to a point where soaring demand for erectile dysfunction medications has led to casual over-the-counter treatments.<\/p>\n<p>Erectile dysfunction is frequently a symptom of poor lifestyle habits ranging from diet, drug and alcohol use, or stress. All of the above can also tank testosterone levels, wherein low testosterone is often a primary driver of erectile dysfunction. Porn consumption has also been associated with ED.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2023\/02\/01\/healthy-males-have-high-sex-drives-but-todays-men-dont\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Healthy Males Have High Sex Drives \u2014 But Today\u2019s Men Don\u2019t<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-f29dc62d49321612d5624b3d2071e96d fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-f29dc62d49321612d5624b3d2071e96d\"><\/div>\n<p>Falling testosterone levels in men are the underlying crisis nobody\u2019s talking about, probably because it has to do with the death of masculinity and the proliferation of confused adolescent males who\u2019ve grown up to believe they\u2019re women.
