What is Male Impotency?

Male impotence or erectile dysfunction (ED) is characterized by the regular or repeated inability to obtain or maintain an erection sufficiently to satisfy you and your partner when engaging in sexual relationships.

A report by The Sexual Dysfunction Association estimates that 1 in 10 males in the UK have recurring problems with their erections at some point in their lives. Erection problems are therefore very common.

Typically when sexual arousal takes place, the brain transmits signals to the nerves in the penis. An erection occurs as blood rushes to the penis which has a hydraulic effect due to the pressure in the tissues. This inability to ‘get hard’ despite arousal is commonly diagnosed as erectile dysfunction.

There are many factors and underlying causes for male impotency some of which are treatable medical conditions such as diabetes, hormonal insufficiencies and drug side effects. It is also important to note that there may be underlying risks of cardiovascular disease and erectile dysfunction is a symptom of this condition.

Where there is no physical impossibility or condition for failing to achieve an erection it is sometimes a psychological problem. A psychological impotence is where thoughts, feelings, relationship or intimacy issues are the cause. This can be addressed by sexual counselors or clinical hypnotherapist.

There is a culture of ‘suffering in silence’ with men unable to discuss their  problems openly. Sexual prowess in males is culturally associated with potency, masculinity and success. Males who suffer from erectile dysfunction often feel ‘less of a man’ and suffer from low self esteem and lack confidence.

If an erection takes place at a times, such as when asleep, where the mind and psychological issues, are less present this suggests the physical structures are functional. However in the opposite case, a lack of a night-time erection does not imply the opposite, since a high number of sexually functional men do not routinely get wet dreams or erections while sleeping.

Erections occur by two very different methods. The first is achieved by touching the member. This responds to massaging the shaft and masturbation. The second is achieved by emotional and erotic stimulation. Of course both stimuli can be used in tandem.

There are currently no formal medical tests to diagnose erectile dysfunction. Your GP of physician can carry out blood tests to exclude any underlying disease, such as diabetes. Impotence can be related to a poor physical health, poor dietary habits, smoking, obesity and most specifically heart disease.
