Erectile Dysfunction is Normal. Here’s What to Do About It
In Partnership with HIMS
By Jacob Osborn - Sponsored Published:
Do you ever feel like your body is older than your mind? If so, you’re definitely not alone, as the body tends to show its age even as one’s desires and ambitions stay exactly the same. This can be especially frustrating when you experience hair loss or bedroom performance issues such as erectile dysfunction (ED), which become far more common as you get older. All the while, you’re still young at heart and mind alike, leading to a personal crisis with both physical and spiritual implications.
The good news is that tackling these conditions (and others like them) has never been simpler. Thanks to Hims, one can get trustworthy medical advice and affordable access to effective medications through an effortless online portal. As a direct result, you can skip past the pharmacy lines and waiting rooms as you take back control of your sex life.

What is Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and Why Is It Okay?
In the simplest sense of the term, ED occurs when you are unable to either achieve or sustain an erection during sexual arousal and activity. Under the skin (literally), penile erection chambers aren’t generating the pressures one needs to remain fully hard. Potential causes include age, high blood pressure, underlying medical conditions, stress, anxiety, and more.
Whilst patently frustrating, ED is anything but uncommon. On the contrary, studies have found that approximately 52% of men experience some form of ED between the ages of 40 and 70*. Should you be experiencing ED, you’re part of a much larger collective of men around the world. To put it another way: nothing is wrong with you!

Treatment of ED
There are millions of men who suffer from ED, but not all of them do something about it. Those who do nothing might not realise that there are multiple ways to treat the condition, including various lifestyle changes. On the medical side of the aisle are PDE5 inhibitors, i.e. prescription medications that have been clinically proven to be effective treatments for ED.
Meanwhile, not all modern medical providers are created equal. This is exactly where Hims distinguishes itself as being a cut above. The wellness company has completely streamlined every step of the process so that you can get personalised consultations and effective treatments without leaving the home. In instances when the medication isn’t available directly through the company’s platform—such as vardenafil or penile injections—the doctors will still prescribe it if necessary. Your personal well-being always comes first.
Using Hims is as simple as hopping online and partaking in a free consultation by way of telehealth portal. The company will connect you with a licensed professional, who will help you determine which treatment is the right one for your particular needs. As you’ll soon discover, there’s a wide range of FDA-approved treatment options, some of which cost far less than the brand-name counterpart. They also recently introduced Hard Mints, which offer clinically proven ingredients in a chewable mint format.
Being that different people have different needs, not every treatment plan is the same, meaning some men will take medication daily whilst others will only take it when necessary. All this and more will be hashed out during the consultation process. If and when prescribed, the medication will be shipped to your door in a quick and discreet manner. It’s thus only a matter of time before your sexual performance catches up with your natural desires.
Here’s a quick look at some of the most popular and effective treatments available through Hims:
As-Needed ED Medication
- Viagra – The first FDA-approved oral treatment for ED is still one of the best and most popular. For decades now, this little blue pill has helped men from all walks of life reclaim their sexual performance. Qualifying for a prescription involves answering some questions during a brief consultation. Following your initial consultation, a medical provider will determine if a prescription is right for you.
- Sildenafil (Generic for Viagra) – With this FDA-approved medication, you get the same active ingredient as Viagra (sildenafil) at a fraction of the price. We’re talking savings of up to 95%. It’s what we like to call a deal that’s too good to refuse!
- Stendra – This FDA-approved pill is the latest (and possibly greatest) ED medication to hit the market. It works in as little as 15 minutes, thereby giving you the perfect opportunity to strike when the iron is hot.
- Hard Mints – Hard Mints by Hims are personalised in that they’re compounded with different active ingredients at different dosages to fit your individual needs. The ingredients are clinically proven, and they’re chewable.
Daily ED Treatments
- Cialis – This brand-name, FDA-approved pill stays in your system for extended periods of time compared to certain counterparts, thereby eliminating the wait between arousal and erection. Take it once a day to go stronger for longer.
- Tadalafil (Generic for Cialis) – Costing as little as US$82 per month, Tadalafil helps you get hard and stay hard without breaking the bank. As the generic equivalent to the brand-name Cialis, the FDA-approved pill likewise stays in your system for much longer than other ED meds.
- Hard Mints – Hims also offers their new Hard Mints as a daily tablet, so you can take one mint per day to be ready at any time.
