Erectile dysfunction is defined as the loss of the ability to obtain and maintain a satisfactory erection for a certain period of time. To solve this problem, a series of medications have been developed for this purpose. However, a major problem has emerged in society, the irrational use of medications for erectile dysfunction. Therefore, this study aims to carry out a bibliographical search of the literature specifying the abusive use of medications for erectile dysfunction by the young and adult population. Marital status has not been shown to be a determining factor for the consumption of medications for erectile dysfunction. An unusual point among all the studies was the fact that, in most cases, the medicine was purchased without a prescription. Among the main reasons that induce and promote the irrational use of medications that increase sexual potency, curiosity, fun, stress or even a new partner stand out. Furthermore, the drugs Sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra) were the most used by young people and adults, even without erectile dysfunction problems. In conclusion, the data presented here serve to clarify the reasons why young and adult individuals indiscriminately use medications for erectile dysfunction even when they do not have this problem.
