Impotency and sterility are terms people often misuse.
He is impotent: He doesn't get or maintain firm er****on for pe*******on during ge***al meeting. But he has viable s***m cells that can get his partner pregnant.
We call this erectile dysfunction now, not impotency.
He is sterile: He can't impregnate his partner because he has a problem with his reproductive health, especially his s***m health. Women can be sterile as well.
A lady who can't produce healthy and mature eggs or who can't sustain pregnancy because of one problem or the other is said to be sterile. But she can have good ge***al meeting.
Both conditions can be treated effectively depending on the cause.
I just met 5 grown folks arguing blindly about this. One even said small p***s is impotency.
