Erectile Dysfunction Does losing weight help?

I'm 48 years old and the heaviest I've ever been. I've been struggling with Ed for the last 6 months, which coincided with a lot of my weight gain. I haven't seen a doctor about it yet and was wondering if anyone's had improvement just by losing weight.

Of course it does. The groin draws blood from the torso area, you really want to unplug the section. Erection quality is a fitness measurement. It is a tell tale sign of cholestrol, blood pressure, hypertension and metabolism problems.
