snap-gauge test- This test moniters man's ability to achieve an erection during sleep.before going to sleep,place bands around the shaft of man's penis(may be strip of paper around the shaft and glue the ends of strip,which i saw in SEX AND THE CITY)........If the bands break during the course of the night,then it provides evidence for erection .Cause of impotence is not organic but more likely to be psychological.
