And the 'reverse' (not sure if off topic or not):
"Mask Up to Keep It Up"
COVID-19 increases the risk of developing erectile dysfunction (ED) by nearly sixfold, according to data from the first study to investigate the association between ED and COVID-19 in young men in a real-life setting.
The preliminary data also indicated that ED is a marker of increased susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Men with ED are more than five times more likely to [catch] COVID-19 (odds ratio [OR] = 5.27).
For men with a history of COVID-19, the OR of developing ED was 5.66. The strength of the association remained after adjusting for factors considered to affect ED.
The study, which was led by Emmanuele A. Jannini, MD, professor of endocrinology and medical sexology, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy, was published on 20 March in Andrology.
ED can be both a short-term and a long-term complication of COVID-19, he suggests.
"When offered, men should have the COVID vaccination. It also gives a whole new meaning to wearing the mask ― mask up to keep it up," says Jannini. "It could possibly have the added benefit of preventing sexual dysfunction."

Linked to Testosterone Levels too - i.e. older men more suseptible to Covid.
