If you're looking to get laid on your next vacation, you might want to think twice about going to Turkey. A recent study conducted by the Turkish Society of Andrology revealed that a whopping 65 percent (or two out of three) of men suffer from erectile dysfunction as a result of the country's living conditions.
Launched in conjunction with Bayer, the study (which used the motto "The penis is the barometer of a man's health) was conducted after courting participants between the ages 15 and 82 (many of whom had never been to a doctor before) at teahouses and betting shops in 25 provinces. The results of the study revealed that obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure are among the conditions that cause erectile dysfunction among the men. "The screenings concluded that the men of our country are experiencing sexual function problems caused by both life conditions and malnutrition," said Professor Ates Kadioglu, the former head of the Society.
Hmmm, is anyone else wondering why—with all those health issues going on—doctors were spending so much time investigating the sexual health of men? I mean, if diseases are running rampant in the country, isn't a softie the least of their problems?
Oh well. So much for that trip to the Turkish bath next month.

Oh, well. So much for this group being featured on all those hot Turkish oil-wrestling videos...but I wouldn't give up on Turkish men just yet.
