Male sexual satisfaction, age and Impotence

Erectile dysfunction doesn't have to be a part of getting older. It's true that as you get older, you may need more stimulation (such as stroking and touching) to get an erection. You might also need more time between erections. But older men should still be able to get an erection and enjoy sex. Such problems contribute to loss of confidence and inadequacy.

Erectile dysfunction occurs in 5% of all males above 40 years of age and this percentage increases with advancing age. When erectile dysfunction proves to be a pattern or a persistent problem, it can interfere with a man's self-image as well as his and his partner's sexual life.

Erectile dysfunction may also be a sign of a physical or emotional problem that requires treatment. In the past, patients have underreported this problem because of embarrassment and the belief that little could be done to alleviate it. The availability and marketing of new therapies for erectile dysfunction have greatly increased public awareness of this problem. The word "impotence" may also be used to describe other problems that interfere with sexual intercourse and reproduction, such as lack of sexual desire and problems with ejaculation or orgasm. An estimated 30 million American men have some degree of erectile dysfunction..
