Get ready to celebrate love and sexual health on National Impotence Day this February 14! While many people know Valentine's Day as a time to celebrate romantic love, this day also serves as an important reminder to prioritize our sexual health. National Impotence Day was created in the early 2000s by a group of healthcare professionals to raise awareness about erectile dysfunction and encourage men to seek help and treatment. So let's use this day as an opportunity to have open and honest conversations about sexual health and embrace all forms of love, including self-love.
