Answer
Hello,

"Impotent" by definition means that you are unable to have intercourse for various reasons: premature ejaculation, unable to have an erection, decrease sexual desire, etc.  The treatment will depend on the cause of the problem (there are many causes).

That is as specific as I can get based on the information that you gave me.
