Introduction & Summary

You are invited to join a research study on the Efforia platform, made possible by your participation and financial contribution. The study will examine whether daily use of the Clubhouse “Stud” Formula, overnight tracking with the Adam Sensor, and a later 30-day period of pornography abstinence are associated with changes in sexual satisfaction, erectile function, age-related symptoms, nocturnal erections, mood, energy, mental clarity, and related behaviors.

You may want to participate because you are interested in structured self-tracking and receiving personal and overall study findings. You may not want to participate because the study costs $458, requires repeated sensitive questionnaires and use of a sensor around the penis while sleeping, asks you to take a dietary supplement daily, and includes a 30-day attempt to abstain from pornography. The supplement’s complete ingredient list and study-specific safety profile are not contained in the current Efforia study record; this creates uncertainty about side effects, allergies, and interactions. The Adam Sensor is a general-wellness consumer device, not a medical device, and its results do not diagnose or treat disease. Neither benefit nor improvement is guaranteed.

Your participation is voluntary. You may decline or leave at any time without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled. Ask questions and resolve any uncertainty before signing. Review the supplement label and discuss participation with a qualified healthcare professional who knows your medications and health history, especially if you have any medical condition or use prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, or other supplements.

Efforia is a citizen science platform where studies are effectively sponsored by, you, the participants. Unlike traditional research studies, you pay for all the supplies, services, information, and tools needed for participation in one transaction. This makes studies possible that might not be otherwise.

Although you could buy these products and services separately for a similar cost, Efforia bundles them into one purchase for convenience. Efforia organizes these items and provides instructions to create a comprehensive, data-driven research experience. This setup allows you to track and understand the impact on your own life via detailed outcome reports, making informed personal health decisions easier. It also advances broader research findings, benefiting others who might not afford such purchases without guaranteed results.

Efforia is committed to equitable inclusion. If the cost is too high for you, click the large Efforia logo at the top of the screen to explore other protocols. Efforia offers protocols on various topics at different price points, including free options, so you can find one that suits your goals and budget.

Purpose of the Study

The purpose is to evaluate changes over time in adult men’s sexual health, sexual satisfaction, erectile function, age-related symptoms, nocturnal erection patterns, and self-reported behavior while participants use the Clubhouse “Stud” Formula and later attempt pornography abstinence. Clubhouse “Stud” Formula is a dietary supplement marketed for male sexual performance. Participants are instructed to take two capsules daily with food. This research does not establish that the product is safe or effective, and the product is not being used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.

The Adam Sensor is a lightweight wearable placed around the base of the flaccid penis during sleep. It records nocturnal penile tumescence—erections that occur while sleeping—and communicates with the Adam mobile application. It is a consumer general-wellness product and not a medical device. The study also uses the PROMIS® Satisfaction With Sex Life measure, the Aging Male Symptoms Scale, and the International Index of Erectile Function, along with behavioral and safety check-ins. These questionnaires measure participant-reported experiences; they are not a medical diagnosis.

What You Will Do as Part of This Study

While participating in this research study, you will need to:

• Be willing and able to follow the study directions and procedures
• Tell Efforia about any side effects or problems by communicating with help@efforia.com or online chat.
• Ask questions as you think of them, via help@efforia.com or online chat.
• Inform Efforia if you change your mind about staying in the study. You may leave the study at any time by communicating with help@efforia.com or chat.

After enrollment, payment, entry of personal and shipping details, and selection of communication preferences, you will receive the supplement and Adam Sensor. You will complete baseline questions about your goals, satisfaction with sex life, aging-male symptoms, erectile function, and sexual behavior. You will download the Adam application and wear the charged sensor around the base of your flaccid penis during designated nights while sleeping. Do not include the scrotum in the straps.

You will take two Clubhouse “Stud” Formula capsules each day with food, complete recurring behavior and safety check-ins, and report adherence and problems honestly. Later, you will begin a 30-day pornography-abstinence experiment. For this study, pornography means media whose primary purpose is sexual arousal; mainstream entertainment containing sex scenes is not treated as pornography. Masturbation and partnered sex are not prohibited. If you view pornography, report it honestly; it does not automatically end your participation. You will complete follow-up questionnaires and Adam Sensor measurements near the end of the study.

The Risks, Discomforts & Benefits of Being in This Study

This study has risks, discomforts, and possible benefits that you should understand. Because the supplement ingredient list and study-specific safety profile are absent from the current study record, the likelihood and full range of supplement-related risks cannot be determined from the information available.

Possible Serious Adverse Events & Side Effects

Risk name	Risk likelihood	Summary
Allergic reaction to supplement	Unknown	A supplement ingredient could cause rash, swelling, breathing difficulty, or a severe allergic reaction requiring urgent care.
Drug, supplement, or health-condition interaction	Unknown	An ingredient may interact with medicines, other supplements, alcohol, or a health condition; the complete ingredient list is not available in the study record.
Digestive or general side effects	Unknown	The supplement may cause nausea, stomach upset, diarrhea, constipation, headache, dizziness, sleep changes, anxiety, or other unexpected symptoms.
Cardiovascular or sexual-function effects	Unknown	Some ingredients marketed for sexual performance may affect blood pressure, heart rate, arousal, erections, or ejaculation.
Adam Sensor pressure or skin effects	Low	Overnight wear may cause pressure, chafing, skin irritation, numbness, pain, sleep disruption, or temporary discomfort; remove it immediately if symptoms occur.
Distress or embarrassment	Medium	Questions and tracking concern erections, pornography, masturbation, partnered sex, mood, and other sensitive experiences.
Changes during pornography abstinence	Unknown	Attempting abstinence may cause frustration, cravings, shame, irritability, distress, or relationship tension; you may stop the experiment or leave the study.
Incorrect interpretation of wellness data	Medium	Sensor and questionnaire results may be misunderstood and must not replace medical evaluation or treatment.
Loss of privacy	Low	Despite safeguards, sensitive sexual-health, behavioral, contact, and device data could be disclosed through error, unauthorized access, or a security incident.

Some People May Be at Increased Risk

Some people may be at increased risk and should not join before speaking with a medical or other professional with intimate knowledge of their specific circumstances. Without such approval, Efforia strongly encourages you not to join the study or use the associated products and services outside the study.

Who may be at increased risk	Why they should not join without professional approval
Anyone pregnant, thinking of becoming pregnant, or breastfeeding	The supplement and device have not been evaluated for pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the study is designed for adult males using a penile sensor.
People under 18	The study is intended only for adults.
People with allergies or sensitivities to any labeled supplement ingredient	Exposure could cause an allergic reaction.
People using prescription medicines, over-the-counter medicines, or other supplements	Unknown ingredients or doses may interact with other substances, particularly medicines affecting blood pressure, the heart, mood, hormones, erections, or bleeding.
People with cardiovascular, blood-pressure, bleeding, liver, kidney, hormonal, psychiatric, neurologic, urologic, penile, or significant sleep conditions	The supplement, sensor, or study procedures may worsen symptoms, interact with treatment, or create misleading results.
People with penile injury, implants, skin disease, pain, reduced genital sensation, impaired circulation, or difficulty removing the device independently	Overnight sensor wear could increase the risk of pressure, injury, skin problems, or delayed recognition of harm.
People whose pornography use causes significant distress, compulsive behavior, relationship harm, or mental-health symptoms	Abstinence and repeated questioning may increase distress; appropriate clinical support may be more suitable than research participation.

Consider Your Own Risk-Benefit Comfort Level

Carefully weigh the possible risks, burdens, costs, and benefits. This participant-funded citizen-science model places more responsibility on you to decide whether the study is appropriate than a traditionally sponsored clinical trial. It is possible that not all risks and benefits are currently known. Participants have the responsibility to consult with their healthcare providers and conduct further research before enrolling in the study.

Privacy & Security Risks

Efforia uses safeguards intended to keep data private and confidential, but no system can eliminate all risk. Review the Efforia Privacy Policy. Efforia may contact local emergency services or other appropriate help if it has reason to believe you may harm yourself or others. Regulators, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or similar agencies, the Efforia Institutional Review Board, and other authorized research-monitoring bodies may review records containing identifying information.

The Possible Benefits of Participating: Personal and Overall Findings

Efforia will provide personal outcomes and overall findings at various data-collection points or as findings become available. These findings may affect your interest in continuing. Participation remains voluntary, and you may leave at any time by emailing help@efforia.com. You may learn about patterns in your own sexual-health questionnaires, behaviors, and nocturnal erection data, and pooled findings may contribute to broader knowledge. These are research and general-wellness results, not a diagnosis. There may be no measurable benefit other than receiving reports showing that the intervention had no measurable impact.

What to Do if You Have a Study-Related Injury

Seek local medical care first whenever necessary. Efforia cannot provide emergency medical care or diagnosis. After you receive any necessary treatment, contact help@efforia.com promptly about any problem, side effect, or study-related injury so the study team can document the event and alert others to potential risks.

Study-Related Injury Care and Compensation

Efforia will not offer financial compensation nor absorb the costs of medical treatment should you experience a study-related injury as a result of participation in this study. Efforia makes no commitment to provide free medical care or payment for a study-related injury as a result of participation in this study.

In the Case of Medical Emergency

In a medical emergency, dial 911 immediately. Do not attempt to contact Efforia until after the emergency has passed. Access local in-person medical assistance immediately. If at any time you feel you may be a danger to yourself or others, dial or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Help is available.
