A year old article that I had not seen before ...

Abstract We analyzed data from the 2018 Sex in Canada survey (n = 1,015 cisgender men) to examine the association between feminist identification and reported use of prescription ED medication (EDM) during men's last sexual encounter. Feminist-identified men were substantially more likely to report EDM use than non-feminist men, even after controlling for alcohol use before sex, erection difficulties, sexual arousal, sexual health, mental health, and physical health. One explanation is that feminist men may use EDM to bolster their masculinity when it is otherwise threatened by their identification as feminist. Another is that non-feminist men may be less likely to use prescription EDM because they view accessing healthcare services as a threat to their masculinity. It is also possible that feminist men are more likely to use EDM because they wish to maintain an erection to better please their partner. Lastly, feminist men may be more honest about EDM use than non-feminist men, even though rates are similar. Regardless of the exact reason, therapists can use these results to tailor sexual health messages to clients based on feminist identification. Future work could employ qualitative methods to understand why feminist men report higher rates of EDM use than non-feminist men.

All it actually says is feminist men are more likely to tell the truth about taking EDM.

Lastly, feminist men may be more honest about EDM use than non-feminist men, even though rates are similar.

Many reasons for ED other than low T. Diet, lifestyle, "habits", hormones, and injuries to name a few. I suffered with it for about six months after a back injury that put me out of work for a month. And I was around 28ish when that happened. Did I go around telling people about it? Nope!

The study says a feminist man would've told everyone...

I agree with you in real life, but in a medical study - of volunteers promised anonymity - I don't think they would lie as much if at all.
