INFERTILITY vs IMPOTENCE

Measuring up
The diagnostic criteria doctors follow (such as the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-IV, or the World Health Organisation’s ICD-10) do not specify a time frame in which e() should occur.

But that looks certain to change in forthcoming updates of these diagnostic manuals, with many scientists calling for a cut-off based on e() latency time (during penetrative s) to separate the “functional” from the “dysfunctional”.

Even so, the question lingers: how fast is too fast, and on what grounds do we draw the line between function and dysfunction?
On a proximate level of explanation, this is an easy one: if you’re very quick, chances are your partner won’t be satisfied. This, in turn, could conceivably result in poor confidence, low self-esteem and less overall s satisfaction for all involved.


But there’s no evidence the sensation of o() in itself would be any less enjoyable because it occurs quickly – and neither is there any evidence that () quality would be any better (or worse) as a ()latency time.

It seems recreational, not procreational, s is where this problem needs addressing. But then, a dysfunction, s or otherwise, should be disruptive of the function’s purpose – so what is, ultimately, the purpose of the male e()? Most people would surely argue the grand, ultimate purpose of e() is to fertilise a female’s egg, thus creating offspring.
The blokes among our closest relatives in nature – the primates – will generally not copulate any longer than necessary to achieve e().

Most chimpanzees will have this task done and dusted in less than ten seconds. From the Darwinist point of view, there’s a very good reason for this: most male chimps will never become alpha males, and the alpha male has first pick of all females in the group – only when he’s done will he allow other males to approach the resident ladies.
INFERTILITY vs IMPOTENCE
It is important to note that infertility and impotence are quite different entities. Failure to discern the difference between the two is a needless cause of embarrassment to most men who stay away from AMI clinics because of the stigma that goes with the latter term.
Impotence means an inability to attain or sustain erections for satisfactory sexual intercourse.
The term has no bearing whatsoever on the fertility status of the man. It is thus possible for a totally impotent man to be potentially fertile and it will be possible to produce a pregnancy in the wife of such a man by insemination of the husband's semen.

Infertility, on the other hand, means an inability to produce children. This usually results from the husband's semen being infertile or sub-fertile. Most infertile men are perfectly normal in terms of potency and have very satisfactory s relations with their partners.
