What was Clyde's sexual issue?


So I watched the movie, found it really impressive, and did some research on B&C as well. One thing I couldn't figure out though: What was up with Clyde's refusal or inability to be sexual with Bonnie? (Just lack of confidence/experience?) And did that have any basis in their real relationship? (Didn't seem to, from the little looking into it that I did.)

Sorry if this has already been addressed... Is there a "search" feature for posts?

From what I've read, Clyde was sexually assaulted in prison at a young age. I have also heard he was shot in the dick and that made him a little impotent in the bed.
