The Western scientific perspective sexual arousal disorder or impotence is described as the inability to attain or sustain an erection sufficiently for normal coitus. Sexual arousal and coitus is virtually the only area of parasympathetic (erection) and sympathetic (climax) cooperation within a single behavior in the human. Therefore, it can be seen that nearly all of primary penile dysfunction and over half of secondary penile dysfunction arises from psychological causes: lack of self-esteem, fear or sense of defeat. Some physical causes (aside from direct injury to the testes) may be injury to the heart, hypopituitarism, hypothyroidism, drug & alcohol use, and diabetes mellitus.
