I haven't heard any credible information suggesting it does. Rumors to that effect are apparently rampant in India although Indian officials deny it's an issue. There does seem to be some credible reports that Covid itself can cause or worsen ED, so figure that into your calculation. I have no first hand knowledge on the topic. I've had my 3 Moderna jabs but my ED couldn't get much worse so I wouldn't know. Unfortunately there are no sources on the whole Covid topic that I have much trust in. Everybody has been caught in too many lies or falsehoods and inconsistencies and supposed truths have changed too much for any so called experts, pundits or officials to have any credibility. I think we're on our own trying to decipher the truth on Covid topics. I am in a higher risk group so IMHO the risk/rewards odds clearly put me in the jab category.

What I am going to post here is specifically directed to young men who are not immunocompromised: There are a number of anecdotal stories about this happening in young guys. I don't know if it is permanent or not, but I did feel it made my erections weaker. I think if you are someone who has medically induced ED issues like me (which means you are likely under 40 and have a history of bad reactions to medication that cause impotence), you are probably at a higher risk of getting sexual side effects.

As for "credible information", I think the people who are most at risk of sexual side FX are such a small subset, you are never going to hear about them when there is only anecdotal evidence. Doctors will prescribe SSRI, Finasteride, and Accutane like it's candy, and if you come back and say you have ED, they will just gaslight you and say that's impossible and it's all in your head. I have had this happen to me, and doctors will never admit that a medication can potentially cause ED unless the manufacturer specifically lists it in the pamphlet of known side effects.

I realize that many, if not most guys on this site are >45 and have ED from aging, prostate cancer, diabetes, etc. and for the men in those groups, I would not be worried about the vaccine weakening your erections.

Definitely hasn’t harmed mine. I got 3 jabs and besides feeling rough after round 2 no issues.

What's causing your ED then and what do you take for it out of interest?
