I just looked it up... Yeah, no very likely doesn't work. Wouldn't make sense for it to work. However this thread might be of some help.

Hi
I think this concerns the treatment of erectile dysfunction.
Despite claims circulating online, there is no credible scientific evidence supporting the use of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) for treating erectile dysfunction. This household substance is not licensed for ED treatment in the UK and may carry risks, including gastrointestinal disturbances and electrolyte imbalances. Men experiencing persistent erectile difficulties should seek evidence-based treatments rather than unproven remedies.
The proposed mechanisms behind these claims are not supported by medical science. Some proponents suggest that baking soda might improve blood flow or alter body pH in ways that enhance erectile function, but these theories lack a physiological basis. The body tightly regulates its pH through sophisticated buffering systems, and consuming baking soda does not meaningfully affect the pH of blood or tissues, which would influence erectile function.
Potential risks of using baking soda inappropriately include gastrointestinal disturbances (such as bloating, gas, and nausea), electrolyte imbalances (particularly in individuals with kidney disease or heart conditions), and interactions with medications. The high sodium content may cause fluid retention and worsen hypertension or heart failure. High doses of sodium bicarbonate can lead to metabolic alkalosis, a potentially serious condition characterised by elevated blood pH. Topical application may cause skin or mucosal irritation.

Especially if you are older, increasing your intake of sodium, (baking soda same as salt), can drastically increase your blood pressure. Which for older men, can be a serious health risk.
