dysfunction is impotence.

this implies that the man can normally attain an erection but
fail on one or more occasions in between normal activity.

age.

Sexual impotence may result from phychological illness such as
depression which lowers both sexual drive and erectile function,
tiredness, alcohol abuse, the therapeutic use of oestrogens,
paralysis of parasympathetic nerves by drugs or permanent damage

devitalized condition of the system in general. The main problem
of secondary impotence is the apprehension created by an earlier
failure, which generates a good deal of anxiety for the next
time.
