What Causes Erectile Dysfunction & Premature Ejaculation?
What is Impotence/ED?
Impotence refers in general to a men's inability or
failure to perform sexually, and particularly to his inability/failure to get
an erection. Impotence has several other meanings, including helplessness, powerless,
weakness, ineffective etc... The inaccurate idea that if a man can't get an
erection, he has no sexual power, is what makes impotence such a dangerous but
also well known term.
In order to understand why erections don't work, we
need to understand the basics of how erections work. Getting an erection engages
numerous parts of our body, including our brain, hormones, nerves, heart and muscles.
Anything that disrupts this any of above systems may result in what gets called
impotence. - Source: About.com
