Sexual Dysfunction

Impotence is the inability to sustain an erection during intercourse or more commonly referred to as, ‘not being able to get it up.’  A man who feels inadequate as a man or emasculated is lacking access to his own power which is what impotence means, ‘to lack power.’  In a heterosexual relationship, a woman becomes a hazard more than a potential partner for a man who feels emasculated. The woman has power more than anyone else to prove to the man unequivocally that he is lacking as a man.

Without access to his power as a result of feeling inadequate as a man, it becomes nearly impossible for the man to achieve a sustained erection or even an erection period. He is actually in terror at the moment of physical intimacy and that sense of fear will make the erection literally impossible. The experience of impotence also reinforces the man’s negative self-belief and he starts to believe even more deeply that he is lacking as a man.
