Okay, let's get this out of the way quickly, this Trope is about a common - yet embarrassing - sex-related problem for men called male erectile disfunction, aka '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erectile_dysfunction impotence]'''.
When a character about to have sex cannot get it up. The cause is often related to good old [[UST]] - for someone other than the person/people they're with at the moment. The "guy can't get hard for girl(s)" variation is the most common—the phrase "It's okay, this sort of thing happens to lots of guys" is closely associated with this trope.▼

Strictly a comedy trope, since the situation is usually temporary, and playing it for drama lasts longer. Double points if something like "I'm sorry, I swear this has never happened to me before..." or the above-mentioned "It's okay..." phrase shows up in the dialog.
