Impotence (Erectile Dysfunction)

Also known as erectile dysfunction, impotence is the most common sexual problem among males today. It is characterized by an inability to achieve and/or maintain an erection during sexual activity.

Impotence can be experienced by both younger and older men. As a matter of fact, studies show that nearly all men experience at least one episode of erectile dysfunction in their lives. It only becomes a problem if it is experienced in about 25 percent of the sexual activities of the male.
