Bi men and aging

It's a well-known statistic (peruse the NIH website for the data) but one that, obviously, doesn't and can't include all senior men. Just as obvious, it isn't what goes on in our mind that "counts;" it's the physical ability to have sex, i.e., get and maintain an erection and ejaculate and it doesn't matter who you do it with or how you do it (or how long it might take for you to do it). My lady loves to give me shit every now and then about there being so much stuff for men to be able to keep having sex... but nothing for women that isn't going to give them cancer or possibly a fatal heart attack. All I can do is shrug because she's right and all the rumors about a female version of Viagra got a lot of women's hopes up but apparently the rumors were just that. All I can do is shrug some more when she asks me what she can do to have her flame burning as brightly as it used to and before menopause came along to put a damper on it - and there's nothing that I know of that can help her with this.

But we're willing to take drugs that might crash our blood pressure or cause priapism - that boner lasting for more than four hours - just to be able to have sex and understandably so since being able to have sex - and to want it - is hard-wired into us and, yeah, we know our own personal truths regarding this matter. Reaching our prime and then having it fade away is a part of life and we can be in denial about that or accept that some of us won't be able to get it up even with Bluechew or whatever new thing they have out. Some men could be candidates for a penile implant but, whew, go read about those things and let's just say that I don't want to get an erection that badly.

If modern medicine can help, then by all means, take advantage of it but if you do need it, well...

 

Well said.

Once again, there is much that has to be taken into consideration, and, again, there are no "cut-and-dried" guidelines to follow; each man is in individual.

You have erection/sexual issues as you age........is it due to AGE, or, prehaps, it is some sort of manifestation coming from not only aging, but, also, being under mental/emotional stress that is compounding the situation.

Too, I'm sure there are also a lot of older men with erection issues who think, "Ah, hell, it'll pass".

Or, "Well, I'm just getting old".

The thing is to SEE what can be done ro RECTIFY the issue, that is, if you STILL have the DESIRE, but are, for the moment "stuck in neutral"...................

 

And that is a myth because sex can continue well into senior years.
Provided health issues like Diabetes, sex can be enjoyed even into the 80s. I have enjoyed sex including edging since my mid-twenties.
I edge every day one to two hours sometimes three.

 

Agreed 100%!

 

I had another neighbor who was in his mid-70s and he sure as hell could still get it all the way up and could cum like a younger man and I'd have fun sucking him off - and he was no slouch in that department either!

 

Well, it's like they often say, "With age 'cums' experience!"

 

Well, he'd only had ten years of experience so compared to me, nah, he wasn't that experienced, but he was enthusiastic and that means more to me than actual experience. But that's not really the point - he's older than I am and could get rock hard without any medical assistance.

 

I guess what it all really boils down to is;

"When you've GOT it, you've GOT it!" (and age most certainly doesn't have a thing to do with it, IF you've "still got it"!)

 

But...I have problems

 

Well, I certainly hope that your problems aren't serious ones and can be taken care of with just a little routine care.........

 

One thing worth remembering.....

It is not only SENIOR men who suffer from some sort of "erectile dysfunction (or a related issue); just look at how many young, virile men also have similar issues, stemming from any of a number of reasons........

 

It is the bane of our existence as males. All kinds of physical and emotional issues, including traumas, can affect our ability to get it up, keep it up, and to deliver a decent amount of semen. It's something that sexuality has nothing to do with - just the nature of what we are. Being able to do this is endemic to our masculinity and the prevailing thought has been that if you can't do these things, you're less than a man. It cannot be stressed enough that if a guy experiences any issues with this see a doctor ASAP.

Agan, "simple common sense" speaks many volumes................

 

Interesting.........

I heard on the radio yesterday on the news that, in reality, our bodies begin "breaking down" while we are only in our 40s (NOT pleasant news, for sure!)

Here again, I also believe that a lot has to do with how a male (especially a senior male) takes care of his body (exercise-wise, diet, etc)

Once again, as we are all individuals, there are no "cut-and-dried" rules to follow, beyond using basic common sense.............

 

Yeah, I think that when we hit 40, things start to go a bit downhill for some men and for others, nothing changes except they're a year older. That's about the time where any old injuries from sports, etc., start to hurt and keep hurting and new injuries take longer to stop being a pain in the ass; I'd hurt my knee playing basketball and was laid up for two weeks where a similar injury when I was younger stopped bothering me in a couple of hours! The thing is that the moment we're born, we start to die and things start breaking down, renewing, going through this cycle until the renewal isn't all that easy for some while, again, others just breeze through their 40s and into their 50s without any real health issues and there are men who are in their 70s who could try out for Mr. Universe. The quest to stay in good health only delays the inevitable...

 

KD23:

Yes, the never-ending quest for the legendary, elusive (and fictitious!) "Fountain of Youth" rolls on and on forever, with no destination whatsoever, other than a circuitous path that, sadly, eventually, leads us to "the end of the line".

Is it any wonder why there are NO senior pro athletes (say, in baseball or football) due to either the inevitable "slowing down", or the ever-present fear of breaking a hip?

These dangers, as we approach our senior years, are indeed very real, and, it is no wonder why so many of us senior guys at least TRY to keep ourselves out of harm's way.

And, even if a senior male is in the best possible health for his age, thoughts of playing for, say, the New York Yankees or the Chicago Bears, or, for that matter, ANY pro sports team.

What MIGHT not be an "all-that-serious" an injury to a younger player can be nothing short of a major-league issue for one more "up in years".

Then, too, look at how many pro athletes in their 20s and 30s have suffered such serious injuries that they end up enduring lengthy recoveries and rehabs..............

 

I point to Labron James who, at the young age of 40, won another Olympic gold medal and is still a star in the NBA. Only Kevin Durant is older and still throwing it down. The injuries these men have suffered over their respective careers would cripple the average man - yet they both endure. Justine Verlander, pitcher for the Houston Astros, is 41; Andy Lee, punter for the Arizona Cardinals, is also 41; Mark Giordano is a defenseman for the Toronto Maple Leafs and he's 40.

All of these men are considered to be "too old" for the games they play... yet they're still active and playing. They'll all eventually retire from the sports they play but they'll all be young men compared to how old I am but, yeah, they are all senior pro athletes and even if I could still play basketball, I probably wouldn't want to - I like being retired too much.

The overall thing is that regardless of sexuality, men can look forward to getting older and taking care of yourself becomes paramount the older you get - and even then, shit can happen. Our sexual health is just as important as the other aspects of our health and some studies suggest that the more we ejaculate, the healthier we can keep our prostate so, um, do more ejaculating and whether it's a little or a lot. If, er, ah, you're of a mind to help your fellow man ejaculate, go for it if you can and find out what an untold number of bisexual men of all ages have learned: Getting some dick is good. I'm going to go spank my monkey now...

 

KD23:

I had NO idea whatsoever that these fellows were "that up" in years; but, of course, IMHO, LaBron will "just keep on keepin' on"!

VERY refreshing to hear about these older guys STILL active in pro sports (of course, you cannot help but wonder, just how much longer they can keep on playing)

Even if one does not know all that much about pro sports (I'll admit I'm one of them) you DO know of the tremendous amount of punishment a player's body takes in the course of just ONE game.

Baseball, football, basketball, hockey, et al, ALL require a tremendous amount of physical (and mental) stamina to keep on playing.......just think of the punishment these guy's take in the course of just ONE season, and then multiply that my an ex-number of years.

Talk about endurance!

 

'Stamina", I believe, is both a PHYSICAL and a MENTAL issue.

In many (but not all) scenarios having a positive outlook can often be of a tremendous boost......
