It is important to understand what impotence is, to be able to learn to deal with it and find the right solution for it. Impotence can result after a long period of a declining libido. Impotence is the condition when;

• The penis cannot get an erection
• The penis cannot get a complete and proper erection and remains partially soft, which does not permit any kind of penetration
• The penis gets an erection but only for short periods of time and does not last until the sex act has been completed.

Impotence is a serious medical condition and a doctor or a specialist needs to be consulted. Depending on the cause of impotence, the doctor can prescribe a cure for it. On the other hand, for a loss of libido, or a declining libido, there are precautions that can be taken. There are many causes for a falling sex drive. Stress, tension, overworking, not getting enough sleep, being preoccupied, depression, guilt, tiredness, tighter deadlines, failing health of a loved one are some of the causes of a loss of libido. Some causes are physical and other causes are psychological and emotional.

An aphrodisiac is anything which can help a couple get in to the mood for sex. It could be in the form of a pill, it could be some kind of food or drink, it could be an environment or just a fruit. Sometimes all a declining libido needs is a change of scene, or some privacy. A short holiday to an exotic destination could work wonders. Something simple like a massage could act as the best aphrodisiac. Putting aside some quality time to spend with a partner could be an aphrodisiac.

It is important to identify the problem and then quickly seek out a solution that works. Impotence is a serious condition which destroys self-confidence and shatters the ego. An aphrodisiac will not be of much use if impotence sets in. because of this it is important to address the issue of a declining libido as soon as the signs appear.
