Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Impotence is not only a problem of modern society. Centuries ago man has sought for causes and remedies for impotence, originally looking much more outside himself rather than within himself. This article reviews and reflects on mythological, religious and cultural aspects of impotence, especially before the beginning of the 18th century.
