What is potency?
Male potency is the ability of the male body to perform sexual intercourse that gives pleasure to both sexual partners. A full sex life is essential for a man's development. Many people equate the word "potency" with the term "erection". However, potency is not only affected by erection. Attraction to the opposite sex, the quality and duration of the sexual relationship are important for a good sex life.
