The Claim
Chronic moderate caloric restriction at 15% and 35% levels for 6 months is associated with improved male sexual behavior in 12-month-old male Wistar rats, including reduced mount and intromission latencies and increased ejaculation frequency, compared to ad libitum-fed controls.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating less food for six months helped older male rats have better sex lives by making them mount and mate faster and ejaculate more often, compared to rats that could eat as much as they wanted.

What the research says
1 studyStudy: Effect of Chronic Moderate Caloric Restriction on the Reproductive Function in Aged Male Wistar Rats
The study looked at the same diet and same rats as the claim and found that after 6 months, the diet did improve their sexual behavior, just like the claim says.
