It's #SexMythMonday! Sex myth #47: Erectile dysfunction is only something experienced by older men. In reality, up to 10% of younger men have reported a mild to severe experience with ED!

It's #SexFactFriday! Sex fact #38: The brain is the largest sex organ! Sexual response for many people is much more than just the physical aspect of sex, but it is also the mental preparation and foreplay that comes before. For our bodies to be aroused, our brains must be too!

It's #SexMythMonday! Sex myth #38: The most commonly-reported sexual dysfunction among men is erectile dysfunction. According to a large study in Britain (NATSAL 3), the most commonly reported sexual dysfunctions in men were actually low sexual desire and premature ejaculation!

It's #SexMythMonday! Sex myth # 37: Sex should always be spontaneous. Sometimes, spontaneous sex isn't realistic! Scheduling sex can actually have a number of benefits, like being able to plan enough time for it, and having something to prepare and look forward to in advance!

It's #SexMythMonday! Sex myth #34, and another one for #Movember: #ProstateCancer always has symptoms, so you will know if you have it. In fact, not everyone experiences symptoms of prostate cancer, and it is often discovered by a doctor during a check-up. Fact from @MovemberCA

It's #SexFactFriday! And it's also the start of #Movember so, sex fact #34: 21% of all new cancer cases in 2017 in Canada were #ProstateCancer. Have you or your partner received treatment for prostate cancer? Consider participating in our INTROSPPECT study: @INTROSPPECT
