With @RapAdmin recent post on Rapamycin improving erections Rapamycin Improves Erections - #2 by RapAdmin it brings up the sensitive subject of Sexual Health. As a physician that deals with sexual health issues daily, I am surprised by the lack of knowledge regarding options in the medical profession and the non medical world. I thought I would compile a list of a list of treatment options that may help improve Sexual Health directly (Viagra) or through improving Longevity / Healthspan. It would be great if anyone can add or comment on the the list based on studies or even subjective data. Sexual health is Health, so the healthy you are the more supportive you are with your sexual health. ISSM (International Society of Sexual Medicine) can be a good resource for both physicians and patients.
I don’t know what most of those treatments are but I totally agree with your position on sexual health. Poor sexual health can also be a harbinger of poor health in other areas as well.
Historically seen as lowbrow, sexual wellness is shedding its stigma.
A convergence of trends, young people are calling out taboos as senior cohorts confront hormones’ impact on healthspan. Adding drama, declining birth rates are skewing the population older, prompting warnings of an economic slowdown and “mass extinction.”
Mired by ideological debate, the sector faces unique challenges but is projected to reach $115B by 2030. From hormone therapies and fertility treatments to supplements, specialized care platforms, clean hygiene products, relationship apps, and more, companies are cashing in.
This report explores the current sexual wellness wave, why it’s happening, and where it could go from here — with implications for longevity, social cohesion, and family-wide health outcomes.

Sexual wellness could be the missing link in longevity.
From puberty on, sex hormones have outsized effects on well-being, with estrogen boosting longevity in women and low testosterone tied to shorter lifespans in men.
The difference between sexes is overwhelming, as if we are from different planets and coexist by design to reproduce. Thank god we don’t expire immediately after that!
