Abstract
The main sexual dysfunction in men is the insufficient rigidity of the penis during erection, the so-called impotency. This designation should be cancelled now, and replaced by “erectile dysfunction” or “dyserection”, or “erectile failure”. In fact, “impotency” is a term associated with a very pejorative connotation, which may induce a feeling of guilt. For the man suffering from this dysfunction, the male impotency is, indeed, a social and relational handicap.
