In Male Enhancement: Knowing Your Tool (Part One), we discussed the three functions of the penis. This time, you’ll learn about your tool’s “life cycle.”
Your Penis and the Price of Aging
Sexual function declines with age – that’s the ugly truth. Your testosterone drops as you grow older and it takes you longer to get aroused due to the lower sexual hormone levels. The compelling desire to do the dirty is lessened and the sense of urgency decreases.
Erections
Studies suggest that a number of men will experience erectile dysfunction or impotence as they advance in years. Among those between the ages of 40 and 70, potency percentage falls from 60 percent to roughly 30 percent.
When you do get aroused, it will take you longer to achieve an erection and to climax. Your firmness might wax and wane. Following orgasm, it takes you even longer to become aroused again if you want to go for another round.
For younger men, blood is pumped into the penis like pushing water through a garden hose. The spongy erectile tissue quickly expands and hardens as blood enters the spongy, erectile tissues. But as you age, your arteries may get clogged and pumping blood into your penis will be like forcing water through a soda straw.
Ejaculations, Orgasm, and Sperm
An older penis equals unreliable erections and less predictable orgasms. For a young man, constantly stimulating his tool and delaying ejaculation heightens his arousal and puts him on the brink of an inevitable orgasm. But for an older chap, delaying ejaculation might numb his penis and make his orgasm more elusive.
When you’re at the height of your sexual powers, a boner is usually enough to help an ejaculation if given half a chance. However, as you grow older, there will be times when you can’t get there no matter how hard you try.
Your semen volume and sperm quality also declines as you age. As the amount of semen decreases, so does the force with which your load is expelled. You will no longer be able to shoot large amounts of ejaculate over long distances. Lesser ejaculate often leads to a weaker orgasm.
