It is difficult to make a direct estimate of the population increase if erectile dysfunction (ED) were completely eliminated, since ED affects sexual function and not necessarily fertility itself directly. However, it is possible to infer some effects by considering the following points

Relationship between ED and population growth

  1. Impact on fertility: the elimination of EDs may lead to increased sexual activity, resulting in a slight increase in fertility. However, in today’s society, there are a wide variety of factors that affect fertility, with economic, social, and cultural factors playing a large role.
  2. Sexual Activity in the Elderly: Because ED increases with age, one might expect to see an increase in sexual activity, especially among the elderly. However, the direct impact on fertility among the elderly is limited.
  3. Improved mental health: the positive impact of ED resolution on mental health cannot be ignored. This may contribute to an improved quality of family life, which in turn may positively impact family planning.

Other considerations

  • Contraception and Family Planning: In many contemporary societies, contraception is widely used and couples plan for family size. As a result, many people with and without ED intentionally limit the number of children they have.
  • Socioeconomic Factors: Socioeconomic factors such as higher education levels and increased female labor participation have a significant impact on fertility rates, and these factors may offset the impact of ED dissolution.

Conclusion

Even if EDs were eliminated from the world, their direct impact on the population would be limited and unlikely to cause noticeable changes to society’s overall fertility rate. Many complex factors are involved in fertility, and the elimination of a single medical problem alone is not likely to produce significant changes.
