Impotence - what the hell does it actually mean?

[wise]

This is bit of a general question, but many drug profiles list "impotence" as a possible side effect. Of course I've tried to do research and read on the web, papers, and books, but the question I still have is:

Does impotence mean you do not get horny anymore (don't feel attracted to women) on top of having ED, ...OR... does "impotent" mean you still want to fuck but the dick just does not work physically (no proper erection/ejaculation etc.) ???

Which one is correct? Thanks guys, I find that people's experience on here is worth much more than the shit you read in books. Thanks.

impotence refers to proper ED. That can lead to depression/no libido aswell though...

Okay so I don't understand how you can be "impotent" but still get horny.
Do you stare at a woman and think "I want to fuck her so bad" and get horny as hell but the dick is soft? How does that work?

Libido and erectile "potency" are two completely separate physiological processes. Libido has more to do with psychology, neurotransmitters etc. How you feel, that kind of thing. Erections are more physical in nature. They have more to do with circulation, of course the neurotransmitters(dopamine, oxytocin, nitric oxide) and psychology play into this as well, but the erectile dysfunction can be organic(cardiovascular in nature) or psychological(anxiety, depression, stress).

Well, specifically just infertility. I thought that you could be impotent but still be able to function sexually.

I learn something every day on this site. Gear related or not.

ED would give you problems with fertility via insemination. You could have a sperm count of one trillion, if your tool can't penetrate they're not going anywhere. A turkey baster might help though.

So high libido and impotence basically equals a fate worse than hell!!!

after turning 40, there's certain compounds I just cant use. Damnit! These days (for me anyway), Test, GH, Primo, Masteron, var, etc., I'd LOVE to be able to use a gram of Deca/week like I used to, but I don't like having a "broken" di*k. Seems after 40, some things are more important than others... Lol!

Can someone please explain this a little more?

How does that work, being horny but dick dead? I can't imagine it, because for me horny=boner always.
