Male problems: A peep into bedroom issues men face but fail to seek remedial measures

The topic of sexual dysfunction in males is taboo in a society where men are valued for their virility. Men with sexual disorders find it challenging to talk about their situation with family and friends and are reluctant to seek out professional assistance.

Sexual Dysfunction in Men is a Taboo Subject for discussion

Men's sexual dysfunction is a sensitive subject that causes stigmatisation and shame of those who experience it. However, in recent years, a few unconventional Bollywood comedies have succeeded in popularising this issue and are to be praised for bringing it up in casual conversation.

Bollywood Comedies Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and Made in China have highlighted it

Bollywood films like Shubh Mangal Savdhan, which analyses the issue of erectile dysfunction, Vicky Donor, which centres on sperm donation and infertility, and Made in China, a comedy film centred on male virility, have all dared to tackle the taboo subject of male sexual dysfunction. All of these movies have performed well at the box office.

These movies have done a great job of bringing attention to a problem that is stigmatised and socially shamed by the people who experience it.

However, the films were created with amusement in mind in order to generate Box Office revenue. Moolah, despite the films' phenomenal success, the subject is not publicly discussed in the general public.
