To add to the ridiculous and questionable business practices of HIMS, they published an article suggestive of porn-induced ED, a questionable medical diagnosis, without citing evidence that such a medical condition exists:

.

The first piece of evidence they cite to support the existence of porn-induced ED makes no mention of erectile dysfunction or sexual dysfunction:

It is difficult to definitively say whether porn is good or bad, but it is definitely a question worth exploring. The first study conducted on porn users was conducted at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany.

.

The second piece of evidence; a broken link followed by a link to a product page on their storefront:

A more recent study involving 350 people with sexual compulsions, many of whom were compulsive pornography users, revealed a 26.7% correlation with sexual dysfunction. This study was meant to explore an increase in sexual addiction, but the fact remains that there is a positive correlation between porn usage and sexual dysfunction.

.

Anything for a sale. Bravo HIMS.

They probably have so many young guys getting fucked over from Fin and other bullshit products they have that they had to show some pathetic study about porn induced ED

@Tzinkman, Phil (foundation pr) emailed to say the Mail on Sunday are covering this and want to speak to a patient. Given your excellent work here, it might be worth passing some of this along to the editor. He didn’t mail out the direct address, so if you have time give him a mail and he’ll put you in touch.

Anyone else who is a british man in their 30s affected by PFS and would be willing to talk to the Mail, please consider the following message Phil was sent:

“I’m keen to speak to British men suffering from PFS, to run within an article we are planning on the subject. Ideally, there would be a range of ages – I’m particularly interested in younger men, in their 30s, as the peg for this piece is the rise of new services, such as Hims, Keeps and Roman, offering men’s medication in fashionable packaging, advertised on social media. They do hair loss and ED drugs all sent in a lovely package that looks more like a grooming product. It’s all aimed at a younger audience. The piece is to run in the next few weeks so speaking to someone this week would be great. Ideally, they’d be willing to go on record and be photographed too, but we could also have a mixture of anonymous and on the record cases. I’m happy to let people see the article before it’s published.”
