Q2. Is my age an important factor in impotence?

A2. Yes. Impotence tends to affect older rather than younger men. In fact, it affects more than half of men aged 40 and above. The reason for this is that blood vessels harden over time which leads to restricted blood flow. This can affect any blood vessels within the body which includes those that transport blood to and from the penis. Young men can develop impotence but this tends to be for psychological reasons such as ‘ performance anxiety’ or worry about using a condom.
