==Lexicology== The Latin term ''impotentia coeundi'' describes simple inability to insert the penis into the [[vagina]]; it is now mostly replaced by more precise terms, such as ''erectile dysfunction'' (ED). The study of ED within medicine is covered by [[andrology]], a sub-field within [[urology]]. Research indicates that ED is common, and it is suggested that approximately 40% of males experience symptoms compatible with ED, at least occasionally.<ref name="erectile dysfunction">{{cite journal |vauthors=Schouten BW, Bohnen AM, Groeneveld FP, Dohle GR, Thomas S, Bosch JL | title = Erectile dysfunction in the community: trends over time in incidence, prevalence, GP consultation and medication use β the Krimpen study: trends in ED | journal = J Sex Med | volume = 7 | issue = 7 | pages = 2547β53 | date = July 2010 | pmid = 20497307 | doi = 10.1111/j.1743-6109.2010.01849.x }}</ref> The condition is also on occasion called ''phallic impotence''.<ref>{{cite web | vauthors = Kahane C | title = Bad Timing: The Problematics of Intimacy in On Chesil Beach. | url = https://psyartjournal.com/article/show/kahane-bad_timing_the_problematics_of_intimacy_ | work = PsyArt | date = 20 September 2011 | access-date = 16 October 2021 | archive-date = 19 October 2021 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20211019040353/https://psyartjournal.com/article/show/kahane-bad_timing_the_problematics_of_intimacy_ | url-status = live }}</ref> Its antonym, or opposite condition, is [[priapism]].<ref>{{cite book | vauthors = Allgeier A |title=Sexual interactions|date=1995|publisher=D.C.
