Materials and Methods: In April 2022, we seek the most accountable social media platforms - with keywords of "Male Sexual Disorders", "Erectile Dysfunction", "Premature Ejaculation" and "Male sex Problems" using BuzzSumo, an online analytic tool. The collected content was evaluated by two urology residents on ground of European Association of Urology(EAU) Guidelines 2022, and for discrepancies, the final decision was established by a senior specialist.
