Stefan Zweig in his biography suggests that King Louis XVI's sexual dysfunction notably affected his marriage to Marie Antoinette and shaped French history. The king's phimosis impeded their sexual relationship for seven years, leading to ridicule and possibly fueling revolutionary sentiments. Recent studies reveal his condition was likely multifaceted, involving physical and social factors, including painful phimosis and possible hypogonadism. Erectile dysfunction, while commonly acknowledged, remains a significant concern affecting many men, emphasizing the complex nature of male sexual health.
