Subreddits allow for anonymous discussion amongst all users, and advice from other users is commonly sought. The site consists of millions of topic-based communities described as “subreddits”, and over 191 documented health related subreddits exist. Reddit provides a platform for patients, colleagues, friends, and strangers to anonymously interact and discuss content openly across a wide range of topics, including many urologic conditions and ED. One such forum is Reddit, a popular website with over 52 million registered users and 1.7 billion monthly views. A majority of these sources are derived from non-medical peers through social media or un-validated or peer reviewed online forums. An analysis of Health Information National Trends Survey data between 20 showed that up to 80% of US adults have used the internet to seek health information for themselves.

In addition, young men prefer consulting online sources for health information over in-person visits, and this demographic also represents the highest rate of uninsured men, further emphasizing the value and importance of the internet as a free, accessible resource. Young men, specifically those between 19 and 24 years old, represent the fastest growing demographic to seek urologic care for ED.
