Erections through the years

[dlihret]

As I approach my mid-70s, I am reflecting back on the progression of my erections over the years. I remember in my teens and 20s, I could get hard in an instant and was able to cum after only a couple minutes of jerking off. In those days I measured nearly seven inches and could hang a beach towel with no problem. Being able to cum three or four times a day wasn’t difficult.
In my 30s and 40s I could still get hard without much stimulation, but it took longer to cum. That wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, since I was able to enjoy the build-up almost as much as the actual orgasm. By now I still measured a little over six inches and could still hang a hand towel on it. Recovery time took a little longer, but I was still able “reload” when I wanted to.
In my 50s and 60s, things became a little more difficult. I was now just under six inches and could still keep a wash cloth from hitting the floor. Orgasms took a bit longer, but were still satisfying. A repeat performance was almost always out of the question.
Now that I’m in my 70s, things a getting a little bleaker. I can still get hard, but if I’m lucky, I may get to five and a half inches. I’m not sure I can keep a Kleenex from falling off! It takes me a long time to achieve an orgasm and when I do I begin to worry if I’ll have a heart attack and that will be the end for me. At least I would be able to go out happy if that was the case! I know health issues and medications contribute to my current situation.
I am wondering if my situation is unique, or if this is something all men experience and I should just enjoy a good cum when I can have one.

Erections - or should I say "quality erections" - come and go as we age. I can still enjoy hammer handle boners through using Levitra. But the urge to masturbate is pretty constant. Enjoy what you have. It's all good.

Dlihret, I could have written your entire post. In fact, as I read it I had to look at your name to make sure I hadn't posted it earlier.

No you are not alone! I'm 74 and at the same stage. My wife and I have not had sex together in four years now. She's become a church lady and not interested any more. Plus we both have arthritis pain, she's completely dry and I cannot get a decent erection without Viagra. One night after I'd been unable to cum from fucking, we agreed that neither of us really needed it after 40+ years of sex together.

Since then, it's only been solo sex for me which I do enjoy, but even it is more difficult due to blood pressure meds. My one saving grace has been a vibrator I gave her at Christmas 25 years ago, an Oster handheld massager with various attachments including a "cum cup." It was affectionately named Buzz and was frequently used during our lovemaking sessions and could give my wife intense, rolling orgasms.

Sometimes I'm able to reach orgasm lying in bed after my wife gets up by enjoying my rare morning wood, but most times of the last two years, I've rubbed myself for a while and then used the vibrator. It has been a lifesaver for me.

Occasionally, when I'll have some time alone, I'll use Viagra to get a good erection and spend an hour or more enjoying my hardness often coming more than once.

I miss those younger days where obtaining erections was never a problem, but they could also be embarrassing when in high school classes. Oh well, you and I are both old men now. I have great memories of 50+ years of sex life with women and 56 years of my self-given pleasures.

Dhilert, same story here. I will add, try Cialis and/or Viagra, both miracles. Nothing wrong with using them at all. I've taken both a generic. You'll be back to hanging beach towels. And occassionally I swear I see a little more length. My lady Doc prescribed 10-100 mg/day. I've never needed more than 10mg to have a good time, 20 is "16 again", 30 is "blue steel", and Im afraid to go any higher! But even with the drugs, my angle is still lower than the straight up of my youth. I understand thats due to a legiment stretching over time. But WTH, I'm glad to be alive and glad to still have a functioning member!!!

I wish I was normal like you guys.
When I started out everything was normal for a kid learning and jerking.
In my early teens I’d get hard if the wind blew in the next county, and cum after five or six strokes.
I was a full on exhibitionist my whole life partly because I was always a premature ejaculator. But in my twenties through my thirties I could always get hard and stay hard after my first orgasim.
My whole life from childhood on I’d just cum without any warning. This happened once or twice a week until
I hurt my back in my thirties. Then it became a daily occurrence.
Years later I got diagnosed with PGAD. Persistent Genital Arousel Syndrome.
Google it.
I’ve had some good normal sex throughout my life but not the normal amount. Very little actually.
I still get sudden unwanted orgasims but often from a flaccid penis.
Imagine walking through the grocery store and having a full blown orgasim. It’s hard to hide so I don’t. In the summer in shorts it can be a visible embarrassing mess.
I have very few real friends that are not put off by this. About the only time I can hide it is when I’m sitting down. I can fake a leg cramp or something.
When I was twenty I had a nice seven inches. Now six and a half.
Most guys don’t know that the shrinking dick is not actually shrinking.
It’s the fat surrounding it that grows out hiding it.
Young and flat stomachs show seven inches. Old and flabby belly’s can hide an inch or two or more on really fat bodies.

I remember I would get hard easily, for no reason. As I matured I remember my cock was large and thick and if I wore snug clothing it was very noticeable, especially when it was hard. In my late 40s, I suffered an illness, and my cock shrunk to about 4.5 in and my erections were less hard and less frequent. I learned to edge. I still masturbate every day but cum less often.

I am 62, in my mid 50,s I noticed my erections got softer, when I was younger it would stand straight up and the head would swell to more than double size. Now I can only get about half an erection, I have been taking ageless male with maybe a little improvement, but only just enough to notice, I will try something different in the future. I can still ejaculate very well with a good amount of semen, it would be nice to hold a big stiff erection in my hand like when in my 40,s.

I can remember when I got one of those erections that the head would work itself out of the waistband of my underwear. I would run the tip a couple of times and I would ejaculate hard and a lot. Now, not even close to my waistband, and the amount of semen is very much reduced.

[gold2448]

I can remember getting so hard that my erection would twitch or jerk with each heartbeat, can still ejaculate a good amount but only about half as big of an erection, I also remember getting hard in less than two minutes of watching a sexy girl, now takes about ten or fifteen minutes.

I’m nearly 60 and I get way more erecrions now than ever in the past, because I make a point of and look forward to taking a break after lunch or whenever I have a little down time to strip down and lie on my back and fondle my dick to an erection. Even if I don’t go all the way to cumming, once I’ve gotten an erection the feeling of turned-on-ness lasts through the day and really until I decide to cum, whether that night solo or with my wife if she’s into it, or the next day. Often I don’t cum as a choice in order to maintain that feeling, but can quickly arouse myself to erection anytime. In the past I only masturbated when the spontaneous arousal prompted me to … now I cultivate that arousal and sexual feeling in my life. If I get to the point of really wanting badly to cum, I feel a wonderful afterglow for the rest of the day and the next erection comes easily.

As I have gotten older, I have found that my erections have gotten stronger, and I can usually stay harder longer!

Oh yes. Change in length, angle and quality. In my youth, 7.5" nice 45° angle, very hard on demand. I'm in my 70's now, didnt really notice any changes until my mid fifties, and then only in the time to get erect. Jump forward to the present: 6" 90° and it takes much longer to get hard. Foreplay to physical arousal is more like what you experience with a woman, gentle and soft touches work best. Low dose cialis works great. Especially if I abstain for three to four days, I get super hard erections for as long as I can hold out.

Age does take it's toll. When I was young I could get a really stiff, hard, solid erection whenever I wanted. After orgasm I could get aroused again about 20 minutes later. I produced a good amount of semen and could shoot 5 to 5.5 feet with the first 2 or 3 shots of cum. Now I am past 70 and things have changed a lot. I can't get hard without Viagra and even then i'm nowhere near as hard as I used to be. I have to put two fingers of my left hand around the base of my cock and press down to help improve my erection and to keep it whilst I wank with my right hand. I produce only a tiny amount of semen (no sperm as I had a vasectomy) and I don't spurt anymore, It just leaks out of my cock. It can take me 1 to 1.5 hours of wanking to reach orgasm and sometimes it doesn't happen at all !! If I orgasm it's not as strong as it was but still very enjoyable. Oh the pains of ageing !!

Just turned 70 and still have no problems getting and keeping erections which are still as big and hard as ever. Until my sixties I nearly always shot big loads for considerable distances. Recntly however my cumpower is a bit variable, sometimes as strong as ever, sometimes only a feeble dribble. It's still as much fun though

[stroke2]

SO much fun!!!

When I was in my teens, I got hard at the slightest sexual thought that popped into my head and loved to take care of the problem with a jackoff session. In my early 20s, my erections were pretty well vertical against my stomach. My hard cock became increasingly curved, probably from chronic masturbation, I’d think. Age takes its toll, but in my later 60s I can easily get throbbingly erect with Viagra.

[fireaxe14]

As I have gotten older, I find that my erection has gotten stronger and my sexual desire has gotten stronger. Only my Explosion of Cum has gotten less. But, usually always enough to lick up from my fingers or a females pussy lips!
