A dominant mother, who is strictly religious and believes sex to be evil, is not the only background pattern found in men who have primary impotence. Childhood experiences, and attempted coital episodes in adolescence, can lead to a personal sexual insecurity, which is equally destructive to a man’s masculine self-image. Homosexual preference, in which the man has either been the passive partner, or imagines himself as the passive partner, can lead to impotence when, either to please a dominant mother, or to try to find a gender-identity, the man marries.

The end-result of these various pathways is that the man develops anxiety and tension to such a degree that his sexual performance is suppressed. He becomes impotent.

The background of a man who becomes secondarily impotent is rather different, although many of these men have had a strict upbringing in which sex was either not mentioned or said to be dirty.

Most men who have secondary impotence develop the disorder as a result of persistent anxiety that they fail to meet what is considered in our culture a ‘normal’ sexual performance. Premature ejaculation, for example, is a relatively common antecedent of secondary impotence. This is the reason why premature ejaculation is erroneously classed as impotence by many sexologists. It is not. However, the anxiety of the premature ejaculator that he is failing regularly as a lover, and that he is less virile than his fellows, can lead to a psychological retreat from sexual contact, which is typified by impotence.
