The men were given laboratory-synthesized yohimbine daily for eight to ten weeks. Ten improved, with six once again able to sustain erection and reach orgasm.

Unpleasant side effects were limited to temporary dizziness or gastrointestinal upset. The Canadian team is now beginning a two-year study...
