About this column

Men get told almost nothing useful about sex, and what they do get is either a pharmacy ad or a locker-room joke. This column is the plain version: what the mechanism is, what the label says, and what to do when the problem is not the one you thought.

Nothing here is medical advice. Persistent difficulty is a medical question rather than a shopping one — and frequently an early signal of something worth catching. See our editorial policy.
