Men urged to learn more about own bodies instead of car bodies.
THE MAJORITY of men in Southampton know more about their car parts than their private parts, a study has revealed.
Nearly nine out of ten men in the city are confident that they can locate parts of a car engine but only half can identify the main components of their manhood.
The Lloyds Pharmacy Online Doctor survey also found that just five per cent were able to accurately identify all the common causes of erectile dysfunction, with 28 per cent incorrectly thinking it was caused by wearing skinny jeans.
The apparent lack of sexual health knowledge has led Lloyds Pharmacy to team up with Men’s Health Forum to urge more men to educate themselves about the importance of safe sexual practice and learn more about the dangers

I've never experienced dysfunction but I do get far too much dysinterest.
Still, it's good to see we can derail an article on an important aspect of men's health via a pointless spelling error in only two posts.
