It depends on the cause of the impotence. If it is caused by medication, then you would quit the medications. If it is caused by fear or sexual hangups, then you would try therapy. If it is caused by age, then there are medications you can try for that. If it is caused by a birth defect, surgery, or physical damage, then there is little that can be done other than perhaps an implant device. It isn't the same as a natural erection, but you would be able to have sex.

A really common cause of Impotency is low testosterone in men. When boys go through puberty, their testosterone blood levels soar to levels as high as 1500-2000. Accompanying that rise is the beginning of morning erections and a preoccupation with sex & stimulation. All that is driven by testosterone.

Testosterone drops sharply after about age 35 at a rate of 4-5% per year so by their 40's most men are at about HALF of the testosterone their bodies were built on. By their 50s most men have less testosterone than a young woman. Levels as high as 800 can still suffer loss of sexual performance and failure to get erections and good sexual function.

Muscle atrophy, Heart disease, joint pain, loss of libido, weight gain, erectile dysfunction, anxiety, depression, insomnia, terrible fatigue and loss of mental acuity, memory are all symptoms of low testosterone/ andropause.

There are a lot of gels, patches, drinks & pills that say they improve the testosterone levels in men & women but most are hollow claims or expensive & unproductive. Hormone therapy does work for reversing the symptoms of Low testosterone and can reduce or eliminate the terrible symptoms. However choosing the Right method is important, the wrong methods are well advertised, but usually a waste of money.

MORE ABOUT HRT:

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) replaces the critical, key hormones that the body stops producing at mid life; usually about 35-40 years old. When that production reaches a critical low, the body responds with over 40 typical aging symptoms. many male symptoms listed above and may even include these predominantly female symptoms; Hot flashes & night sweats, insomnia, fatigue & joint pain, weight gain, anxiety and depression are also common symptoms.

There are many creams, patches, health food store and internet potions and concoctions that for the most part don't work. If you are seriously uncomfortable and want serious medicine that will get rid of the symptoms and give you relief, please search for Pellet therapy HRT.

Pellet therapy is done by MEDICALLY inserting a small pellet of 100% natural pharmaceutical grade Testosterone or estrogen under the skin. The pellet then slowly devolves and is absorbed by the body, replenishing the key hormones the body is deficit in. The pellets last up to 90 days and don't spike the body or create a hormone roller coaster, but do remove the symptoms & give relief, energy, sleep, relief from joint pain, insomnia and Hot flashes.
