Men age sexually at different rates, perhaps related to how sexual they were as younger men, how long they have been in a relationship, and how they are doing physically. As a general rule, however, men begin to notice a difference at some point between the age of 45 and 55. Level of desire drops, or at least the sense of urgency. One aging male proclaimed, "I ask for it as often, but I don't beg for it as much." It will take an aging male longer to get an erection and he will need more direct stimulation to do so. The firmness of his erections will wax and wane and he becomes more vulnerable to the impact of "performance anxiety." In other words, if he experiences a slight decrease in firmness and panics, he is quite likely to lose his erection altogether. It might begin to take longer for him to ejaculate and on occasion he might not ejaculate at all. An exciting and excited partner who is willing to play and able to make love with no demands is an aging male's best friend! Many aging males learn to be more more giving, gradually become more experimental, and eventually discover the value of being creative. Reviewed by Sexual Health Editorial Team
