Well, according to the Journal it has an impact factor of 4.9.

The New England Journal of Medicine has an impact factor of 51.296.

Impact factor is a measure of the number of times papers published in the previous two years have been cited in the scientific literature.

Which probably explains why the ‘piss-poor’ research design made it into the AJM, as opposed to the NEJM…

Data based on ’self-report’ with no independent verification of claimed frequency of sex or erectile dysfunction?

Load of bollocks !!!

Surprised this study got any funding, never mind published, with such a piss-poor research design?
