Association between marijuana use and erectile dysfunction in a sample of sexual minority men: a cross-sectional analysis

Our results suggest a significant association between marijuana use and elevated odds of experiencing erectile dysfunction. These findings highlight the importance of integrating sexual health screening into primary care and considering substance use during sexual health assessments to support early identification and management of ED. Additional research is needed to explore temporal and causal relationships between marijuana use frequency and erectile function.

Abstract

Our results suggest a significant association between marijuana use and elevated odds of experiencing erectile dysfunction. These findings highlight the importance of integrating sexual health screening into primary care and considering substance use during sexual health assessments to support early identification and management of ED. Additional research is needed to explore temporal and causal relationships between marijuana use frequency and erectile function.
