    Good article, however, I think it falls a little bit short about the causes of impotence in men living abroad. I am specifically talking about DIET. Many Ghanaians abroad have traded in their traditional diet for the cheaper ...

    Sexual impotence can never make me unhappy.Why? Is sex the only way to happiness? Just shut your mind from it and keep going.Happiness does not come from sex alone.

  • Gyamfi Poku 8 years ago

    Kwabena, happiness does not come from sex alone but it is a major duty of a man to his wife. It is sad if you have a wife but if yon't have, no problem.

    WOMEN CAN BE A MAJOR CAUSE TO THE ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION. WHY?SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY OPERATE UNDER THE GUISE OF"UNNECESSARY HOLINESS".SEX MUST BE SPICED BY ALL ACTS TO MAKE IT VERY ENJOYABLE.

    But why have you turned the discussion of impotence in black African men to that of our politics? Your expert contribution on the problem of impotence and sterility in women was good. Why not just leave it at that?
