Lots has been written about the challenges of women as they age, go through menopause, and struggle with feeling loving with fewer hormones.
Not that men don’t have their challenges, especially with the number one most discussed sexual issue of the day, ED or erectile dysfunction.
There is so much misinformation and inaccurate information about ED these days, I was finally encouraged to write a book about it to help clear up the issues.
But, lets get real about ED, cut through the hype.
There isn’t a man alive over thirty-five who hasn’t had trouble having an erection.
Does this mean he has ED? Probably not.
He may be tired, angry at his mate, had too much to drink, sick, stressed out. Shall I go on?
So, not only is having trouble having an erection on demand very common, but it is more often than not caused by other reasons than medical conditions or injuries. See my post on Fear of ED Sabotaging Senior Sex written earlier this year for more about this.
Yes, ED is pretty common with spinal cord injuries and late stage type 2 diabetes.
But, for most men, it isn’t medical.
Which is why the refill rate for the little blue pills is significantly less than fifty percent. The pills don’t do what most men want them to do or think they should do.
Besides, they can have really nasty side effects.
So, look first at what else is going on, in both your life and your relationship, before you automatically pop a pill.
Like women, men’s sexual hormones start to decrease as they age. While many men don’t notice their decreasing hormone level, their body does.
One consequence of lower hormone levels is needing longer to have a second ejaculation. Or, in professional jargon, you have a longer refractory period.
Notice I said ejaculation, not erection. Many men are confused about this process.
They think if they lose their erection during a lovemaking session they need to wait hours and hours before they can get one again, not true.
Yes, it can be hours before you can have a second ejaculation but erections commonly wax and wane during any lovemaking session.
One of the techniques sex therapists teach their clients is how to let go or lose an erection and then regain one during a love making session. It is one of the major tools for combating the fear of ED.
You will find information about it in my new book, Keep on Love’n. It focuses on how to continue a great sex life without dangerous drugs or demeaning devices.
Getting older isn’t for sissies, but as one of my friends said, it’s so much better than the alternative.
We will all experience changes that may not be welcome, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy ourselves, our partners, and continue to have great love’n.
