ANSWER :

Physicians are not certain exactly why the enlarging of prostate occurs, but it is thought that it may be due to an excess amount of certain hormones in the body. Could it not then be concluded that the elevation of estrogen and these other hormones are as a result of reduced production of testosterone? Why not conclude that a hormone imbalance is caused as a result of scarce material for production? Saturated fats are necessary for hormone production. Could limited saturated fats be one factor?

 I'm not sure if saturated fat itself makes the difference, or if cholesterol (which happens to abound in saturated fat dense foods) would be more important, since steroid hormones are made from cholesterol. In any event, both are necessary for proper hormone production. Those who would see the most benefit would be those who routinely avoid adequate fat & cholesterol intake.

 Premature ejaculation can have a variety of causes (performance anxiety, weak pc/bc muscles) as can erectile dysfunction (the causes mentioned plus cardiovascular problems, venous leakage, etc.). Many of these causes may be unrelated to hormones, at least not directly related to them. However, excessive norepinephrine (a hormone & neurotransmitter) can cause both, as it's involved in the experience of ejaculation & vasoconstriction, which opposes the vasocongestion necessary for obtaining/keeping an erection. High stress hormones like norepinephrine & cortisol can cause a cascade of hormonal imbalance. The body prioritizes cortisol above other steroid hormones, as one cannot survive without it. In a high stress condition like malnutrition, other steroid hormones would probably get short shrift.

Erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, is the inability to achieve or sustain an erection for satisfactory sexual activity.
Erectile dysfunction is very common. It is estimated that erectile dysfunction affects 30 million men in the Untied States.
The causes of erectile dysfunction are manyfold and include aging, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, tobacco or alcohol  abuse, atherosclerosis and depression.
