Causes of Impotence

There is no one main cause for impotence. There are in fact a number of different causes although in many cases a man may never find the cause of his impotence.

The most u cause of impotence is purely psychological. A man may have a fear of failure due to past negative sexual experiences or trauma in his childhood. He may also simply be too nervous to perform. If this is the case then a sex therapist can assist you in treating the issue at hand.

Other causes of impotence involve what you put into your body including:

• Alcohol
• Tobacco
• Drugs
• Junk Food

Alcohol, drugs and smoking can all contribute to impotence. A bad diet full of junk food or an unbalanced diet will also cause impotence in the long term as you are not providing your body with much needed nutrients. You'll also lack the energy levels required to perform sexually.
