Local Man Struggles With EF.

At first glace, Overland Park KS resident Jon Gudinov looks like any other 30 year old programmer: married, intelligent, easygoing, balding, slightly overweight. Few people would think such a mild mannered man is engaged in a daily battle with a debilitating syndrome.

Erectile Function (EF), commonly known as 'potence', affects an estimated 90% of men on a daily basis, and nearly all men occasionally. While the cause of EF is largely a mystery, some researchers think it may have something to do with titties, and some victims have reported symptoms soon after waking up. Common symptoms include dizziness, loss of appetite, and an erect penis.

EF victims report a feeling of helplessness at the lack of treatment options. There is no known cure and there are few treatments for EF. "The problem is that it's illegal to buy or sell the best treatment available," says Jon.
