Psychological Impotence

A man who has normal erectile responses during masturbation, or who regularly awakens with an erection, is likely to have a psychological basis for impotence.

The brain can help bring about an erection and it can prevent one. The upper portion of the brain known as the cerebral cortex can be involved in blocking the reflex action that causes an erection. By this means, thoughts or emotions can inhibit the erectile mechanism and cause so-called psychogenic impotence. Psychogenic impotence seems to feed on itself because its number one cause is fear of the possibility of failure to perform. Other factors in psychological impotence are guilt, depression, and boredom with the subject of sex stimulation.
