13. It's not a real good bet.
http://longisland.newsday.com/cosmeticsurgery/procedures/Erectile_Dysfunction.php?keywords=Erectile%20Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is very common. Although it tends to be more common in the over 40-year-old age group, it can affect men of all ages. In mid 1992, the results of the world's largest erectile dysfunction study (the Massachusetts Male Aging Study or MMAS) became available.
These results showed that:

* 52% of all men between the ages of 40 and 70 have some degree of erectile dysfunction.
* At least one in ten men cannot get an erection at all (referred to as "complete erectile dysfunction")
* The majority of causes of erectile dysfunction are physical in nature
* There is a strong association between age and ED: 39% of men at the age of 40 and 67% at the age of 70 are affected by either minimal, moderate or complete ED.

I know that it's hip to bash older people who require assistance in helping the ..ahem.. soldier to salute.
But hip isn't funny to the person who goes through this. I have in the past.
Many things can contribute to ED.
And if you think about it. If we expect females to take a pill to stop unplanned pregnancies,then why shouldn't they expect males to take a pill to to stop unwanted limpness?

Thought processes like those presented in this OP do more harm to society than good.
But it's all good for a chuckle :rofl: :eyes:
