If you have a hard time talking about ED (erectile dysfunction), you're not alone.

One in three men says it's impossible to talk face-to-face with someone about erections.

It doesn't have to be impossible to talk face-to-face with your partner or your doctor about ED. It's a real medical condition. Think and talk about ED as the medical problem it is.

Not sure how to begin the conversation? Here are some conversation starters you could use:

"I wonder if the problems I've been having during sex are caused by a medicine I'm taking."

"I read that having ED can be a warning sign of another health problem. I think we should learn more about it."

Partners can be the ones to start the conversation about ED, too. Here are some conversation starters for partners to consider:

"Do you think the reason we haven't been making love might be a medical problem? Maybe we should check it out with the doctor."

"You know those ads we've been seeing on TV? Maybe we should find out more."
