Glenn Beck suffers from ED?
Probably not, but who knows? In any case it’ll be interesting to see how many hits that title brings in. The inspiration for it came from Creative Loafing Atlanta: Stress is erection unfriendly.

Here’s a clip from Fox News in Charlotte, NC. It concludes with the reporter saying doctor’s don’t know the causes of low testosterone but that it’s more likely to occur as a man ages.

The book described ways a man could naturally increase his testosterone through diet and exercise. As I recall, Schuler had scientific [...]
