This study was collected from 151 Filipino men in the Philippines from June 2004 to July 2004. These men were all from 40 and above from all walks of life that had answered the questionnaire probing their present real sexual issues, in relation to their situations or factors that are revolving within them, that could have affected their sexual lifelike medical problems, age, status, sexual orientation, body image issues, religion, ethnicity, diet, financial stability, relationship status, sexual behaviors, medications, and history of taking supplements, smoking or alcohol, or exercise, sexual interventions done for their sexual issue/s or problems, blood chemistries did and more. This study is concerned with the most common sexual issues of these men. The root cause of their problem/s is hoped to analyzed using the data gathered. This probe is also looking on to the medical and alternative interventions that these men had done for their problem/s - and whether they were successful or not. Data obtained were analyzed using graphs and statistical tables and focused on the top five sexual issues in relation to factors considered that concerned most of these men. Basing on this study, the most common sexual concerns of Filipino men are: no sexual issues, increased sexual desire, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation and delayed ejaculation. These sexual issues are noted to be related to some aspects in the men's lives. A deeper probe, however, is advocated to more insights and understanding why sexuality and its issues really exist today.
