Experts have mercilessly dismantled the myth of Bulgarian men's sexual prowess, saying that more than half of them try to beat erectile dysfunction.
To the dismay of Bulgarian women, data shows that the sexual power of Bulgarian men now equals that of any other European. This applies primarily for 40-plus men, who more often than not do nothing but resign to "fate".
"The collapse of the communist regime and the beginning of the democratic changes spelled the end of Bulgarian men's famous potency. The problems of the transition period and everyday stress is the biggest deterrent to sexual urge, among those who have passed the prime of youth," says Chavdar Slavov from the Medical University in Sofia.
Slavov recommends counselling sessions to help identify causes, be it a case of physical or psychological complications.
