A Mild Case Of COVID May Cause Erectile Dysfunction!

By Red Painter — December 5, 2020

Well, it looks like COVID has yet another trick up it's sleeve: Long term erectile dysfunction. Yes, that pesky problem that men take little blue pills for to allow them to continue ... you know, having sex. Well, it looks like COVID causes vascular problems that are now being shown to cause ED! Even "mild" cases of COVID are causing this issue.

So your cousin/coworker/GOP politician who says "it was just like a little cold" may actually be wrong.

A little video about it.

And some tweets from the brilliant Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding, Epidemiologist & Health Economist:

ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION. Smoking 🚬 long known to cause ED. Why should we care right now? Because #COVID19 causes vascular problems, experts worry about ED being a “likely consequence” among COVID survivors.

2) Study: “In conclusion, there is quite enough reason to suspect that male sexual and reproductive health could be affected in the survivors, by the sequelae of the COVID-19, both in the short and long terms”. https://t.co/VvSG8ZA5tS pic.twitter.com/mlRqRvsTX6

3) “Erectile function, as a surrogate marker of cardiovascular/pulmonary health, could also become extremely valuable as a quick and inexpensive first-line assessment of the pulmonary and cardiovascular complications for COVID-19 survivors.”

Covid can kill you
Men: 1-2%
Covid can cause strokes
Men: meh
Covid can kill your relatives
Men: don’t live in fear
Covid can cause erectile dysfunction 🍆
Men: be right back... 😷 😷 😷

I read yesterday that covid 19 causes erectile dysfunction for some men who contract the virus- I said oh - if gets trending - the mask controversy will go away pretty quick.

What?!? This thing would be over if, in March, we had led with: "erectile dysfunction (ED) is a likely consequence of COVID-19 for survivors... among elderly men." cc @Healthmac

Maybe if we put out HUGE billboards and lead every news show with "MILD COVID CAN CAUSE YOU TO HAVE A FLACCID PENIS" will work to get these COVIDIOTS to wear masks?
