I just spent a few minutes searching online for some information about my specific problem. I'm not sure I was able to narrow down the best answer, so knowing that a good number of participants in this forum are men in their 50s, 60s, and older, I decided to bring it to you for your thoughts. I am pretty active sexually - I have no serious relationship but manage to have enough sex to keep me happy. Here's the issue though. These last few months I have noticed a sharp decline in my ability to ejaculate. It takes me too long to achieve orgasm. Sometimes I just don't - at all. At first it didn't bother me too much because I am primarily a bottom and enjoy the benefits of that. I enjoyed my interactions and came away feeling satisfied even though I did not achieve a climax. But as time went on, I began to notice that I am going longer and longer (days) of not achieving a climax - My normal turnaround time had been about 2 days and that was my limit or I'd start to get a little crazed... now, though. whether I am with someone or alone - It just takes too long. I get frustrated. I lose my erection. My mind outplayed my body. And I say - forget it. Now - I still think about having sex all the time. But I don't like that I cannot seem to achieve this ultimate end to a great experience with someone. They feel badly. I've had a good time, but I'd like a better time. I started taking some supplements that are natural that are supposed to increase the size of my load. I have seen no evidence of this. I almost wonder - except I can't remember when both began - if these supplements are creating this other side effect. I don't know if this is treatable or not. Is this a precursor to ED? Do I need to check my testosterone levels? Should I stop taking those supplements? I am 66 years old, and I am not ready for the rocking chair on the porch. I want to still be in the game.
Aye Papa we're getting old...and all have different health n vulnerabilitiesi...I mastabate very little generally, tho being in my sexual desert island home a bit more now. But like you not always getting hard enough when I'm on my own....no problem at all if another cock is in the vicinity... haha.....and I produce very little cum now, and more thin n watery. But then last night I was hard (w/o porn) and came ...and then again in the morning ...whereas other times go days or even more than a week On the other hand I'm really a pure bottom sub nowadays, and very happy with it, even tho I was vers top most of my life, esp. being bisexual n fucking women I've come to the conclusion that we have to adjust our sex lives as our abilities decline ..so long as we are getting and giving pleasure and climaxing from time to time....then..... .for me I love the journey to an orgasm more than the orgasm! I'm 71 btw As to supplements...I occasionally use ciallis if I know I'm going to have a night session, or a few guys, but find I don't really need it ..after all if the activity is good then I'm hyped and no need .. it's as LL in the brain after all. I'm just always wary of taking any kind of supplements. Main thing imho is not to stress and accept that u are not a 20/30 stud and adjust to what gives u the most pleasure n fun Simon
It’s likely age Papa, I’m 63 and have similar experiences. It can take a long time to cum. I suppose if I was rock hard it wouldn’t be as big of a problem. But most of the time I’m not fully hard. I don’t know if it’s anxiety with being with a guy and wanting to perform or what. It seems if I’m by my self I’ll get rock hard and stay that way as long as I need to.
When I was younger I could fuck for well over an hour and not cum, now I can only go for a few minutes, if I don’t cum within about five minutes I lose my erection. I need viagra as well, what I really like about viagra is the next morning I get really hard and can actually have longer and better sex the next morning. But we do age and can’t perform as well as when we were in our teens or twenties
A lot of older men take longer to cum, but I enjoy that, as I enjoy sucking and the longer it lasts the better
I guess I'm fortunate that at 65 I still get hard easily and feel I can keep going for a long time. The guys I've had sex with in my age group are always done for the day once they cum where as I want to keep going. I spent a couple of hours with one guy who was younger and pounded me good. As we showered together was surprised to see I was hard again, lol. We played a little longer. Too bad I had to leave to be somewhere...
Same here. It comes with the territory I guess. I have to be careful with viagra or sildenfil the generic. If I take more than 40mg it gives me a stomach ache. Other than that it works fairly well. Anyone else have that side effect?
At 69 I can still ejaculate without fail, and I ooze heaps of pre come. I can ejaculate before I get a hard-on which is not good. With oral that didn't matter so much. Strangely, I lasted longer and had bigger volume with mutual sucking. We'd keep playing and he'd get a boner again before me. Just sucking so it wasn't such a big deal. The older guy who started me off with oral had prostate problems so came into his bladder. I don't know how the plumbing works in that instance.
I guess it is somewhat a matter of accepting things as they are and being OK with it, but also - not afraid to bring it up to the Doc... just in case. In my case, my dad had prostate cancer. I remember him making decisions in his early 70s about treatment and how it might affect him. I need to pay attention to that. The other thing.. I haven't leaked pre-cum in years. I love it when a guy I'm with leaks... I miss that in my own body. I want to cum in a mighty way. So I also miss that, and it almost feels like torture when I am hanging there on the edge and I don't. I can hear my voice screaming inside my head, "COME ON!!! Just let GO!" So, I'm not happy.
Sometimes Cialis gives me a headache, but I take it daily. Wondering if I could take more when I know I'm going to be having sex?
I love precum. Love it when a guy makes alot of it. I knew an older guy who had had prostate surgery. He leaked a little urine when he was being sucked. Not a lot, just a few drops. It didn't bother me.
Cialis gives me a stuffy nose. Sudafed can help with that but it also counteracts your erection (if you have an erection too long, sudafed is what you take to try to get it down as a first step). I'm on daily 5mg of cialis hoping to improve my circulation down there. My dr says if I want to, I can take 20mg (four pills) one morning as long as I skip the next three regular low dose doses. You should not be taking 20mg every day tho, he said.
I'm 60 and have also been taking, in my eyes, too long to cum in the last 5 years, with partners and definitely in masturbation. I would far prefer a 2 hour masturbation session than wasting many more hours of precious sleep time trying to get myself off. I don't know if that's because I learned to edge myself in masturbation for countless hours a few years ago, staying at that blissful edge, forcing myself not to cum, and now I'm paying for it (I did that multiple times a week for a minimum of 8 hours each time, often 12 hours, up to a record of 36 hours nonstop), all in the throes of major gay fantasies, porn watching, and writing. But more likely it's age related. But I haven't had enough male sexual partners in the last 9 years of personal hookups (compared to the 21 prior years of anonymous oral sex in bathhouses etc.) to really come to a definitive conclusion, but it certainly has been an issue with some guys, about disappointing them with my inability to cum sometimes, at least within the time period they expected. During the last year of my very rocky 3-year relationship with a woman that ended just before the pandemic hit, we often had to give up getting me to orgasm, even though I got her to multiple orgasms every time we had 2-3 hour sex (multiple times a week). By the end, the only way I could cum with her was to imagine I was having sex with a guy while fucking her. I also experienced some ED problems once or twice with a guy when I was trying to get hard enough to insert my cock into his ass, even though I was hard throughout foreplay. Some of that was fumbling with condoms, but a lot of it is where I get into my head, thinking there's going to be a problem, and then my mind creates a problem! But again, I really can't come to any conclusions about a pattern without a larger sample size, i.e. more hookups. But the difficulties of navigating the hookup site and app scene in my neck of the woods is so tiresome that I'm now looking for something more meaningful with a single partner, which is why I'm getting together with a large gay social group at least once a week. I am ready to fuck my brains out every week with one guy. Then I'll be able to report back on my ejaculation and erectile issues more definitively. But I feel for you, Papa, and truly hope that you are able to get out of your head and be at peace with whatever happens, and that your partners are 100% satisfied no matter what, as you are.
@RisingBi Thank you, sir. I am learning to live with it for now... I may say something to my physician when I see her in December. I have never been into edging. Over the years, my control of the urge to cum has been good - but now it is ridiculously too long. I think it may have to do with mind over matter, partner talent and patience, etc. One of my recent partners can just be too rough and, while he enjoys sucking me, he tends to get restless and switch to jerking me off, and I'm not crazy about that. I also think it is a mind game to some degree. I don't really enjoy jerking myself off either - so it takes a more perfect setting with a more perfect partner... oh, let's face it. I'm just getting old.
I'm the opposite. I come too quickly and I am trying to learn control by edging. All too often it's a mess of pre come and I come in a very short time. When I was happily sucking with a friend I lasted a lot longer. Perhaps mine is anxiety driven. I have zero sex now.
I haven't had any pre-cum in years - ironic because I like it when a male partner produces pre-cum. it's like a precursor to my reward for my good performance. lol
I did get pre-come when sucking a few times, but never took a load. At my old friends place with another guy, when I tasted pre come I let the old guy take over and suck the load out of him. I remember I was a nervous newbie at 50, seeing how much this guy's cock throbbed and how much he shot into the old guy's mouth made me hesitant to be on the recieving end.
You are fortunate. I’m 54 and I don’t get fully stiff rock hard boners anymore. I can still get sufficiently erect to have intercourse with my wife but I don’t last long.
