Impotence in males, also known as ED, is defined as a man's inability to get an erection or maintain it long enough to have sex with a partner.

Impotence is a condition that occurs in most men at one time or another, however studies have shown that it is more common in older men & is therefore often associated with the aging process.

However whilst age may be a factor in impotence, there are other factors that can contribute to impotence in males of younger ages.
