Restless legs syndrome (RLS), the uncontrollable urge to move your legs; study found that men with Restless Leg Syndrome-RLS are at higher risk for developing erectile dysfunction than those without RLS.

Why would men who have everything “risk everything,” even “life.” It’s dysfunctionality in moral equilibrium; given to sensual gratification, disregard for others. What is the message to the public? Get married, stay faithful in your marriage and figure out how to make the best of sex within Godly boundaries, where the marriage bed is undefiled…if you keep on messing around you’re gonna get caught and won’t even have the words to speak or lawyers to help get you out of the mess.
