Definition of Impotent

Impotency can be defined as the inability for a man to achieve or keep an erection. However, most men would describe it as a humiliating episode that leaves him in fear that it will now be a regular part of his life. A wife may think that her husband no longer finds her attractive but that, more than likely, is not the case at all. Men in their 50's and even 60's are still interested in sex and sometimes their mind is saying "YES" but their body is saying... "Eh, not today!"
