It’s no secret that a man’s sexual function changes with age. With a decrease in the amount of the sex hormone testosterone released by his body, the periods to achieve, first, arousal and then, ejaculation become longer. An erection after the first intercourse is not impossible, but it also requires more effort and time. The age after forty is also associated with the release of smaller amounts of ejaculate and lower quality sperm. The period between 40 and 70 years brings its own challenges for the man, as he increasingly has to deal with the worryingly emerging signs of erectile dysfunction. The percentage of “able” men in this period drops dramatically from 60% to 30%, according to data from an American specialized study. After forty, problems with urination also appear in men. The weakening of the stream during urination is due to the consequences of the weakened muscles of the urinary bladder and, in many cases, an increase in the prostate gland, which also affects the sex life and potency. According to the American specialists and the studies conducted by them, men after 40 have concerns and are afraid of changes in the size and shape of their external genital organs, which are much more often the main reason for their rejection of sexual experiences. Indeed, the penis changes . There are two significant changes. The head of the penis (glans) gradually loses its purple hue, as a result of the slowed blood flow. There is also a slight loss of pubic hair, which would also concern some. Why does blood clotting decrease and what does this lead to? With age, a man tends to gain weight. When fatty tissue accumulates in the lower abdomen, some changes related to the size of the penis are observed. In general, the accumulation of a large amount of fatty tissue around the pubic bone only visually “shortens” the length of the organ, experts from the University of California, San Francisco emphasize. “Sometimes this is a powerful argument for overweight patients to motivate themselves to lose weight,” says Dr. Ronald Tamler, director of the Men’s Health Program at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. The reduction in length and thickness of the penis is minor. For example, with a length of 15 cm in the thirties, at the age of 60-70 a reduction to a length of 13-14 cm can be expected. Experts point to two reasons for the changes affecting the size of the penis: the presence of fatty substances (plaques) in the small blood vessels vessels of the genital organ and their slow removal from the bloodstream. The presence of fat cells slows blood circulation and reflects blood clotting. I.e. The reasons for the smaller size are the same that lead to the development of the well-known disease atherosclerosis, in which seals form in the coronary vessels, a condition for the occurrence of heart attacks. So the good prevention against atherosclerosis, the right way of eating and physical activity to free the body from excess cholesterol,will have a positive effect and in the direction of prolonging the active sexual life. The other reason for the “shrinking” of the size of the penis lies in the relative decrease in the elasticity of the collagen in the cell layers covering its cavernous bodies. An erection occurs when these corpora cavernosa are filled with blood, and the blockages in the blood vessels are the cause of the reduced blood flow, delay and weaker erection. From the early forties, the testicles also begin to decrease in size. While in a thirty-year-old man they are about 3 cm in diameter, in a 60-year-old man they are about 2 cm in diameter. In middle-aged men, cases of penile curvature are increasingly common. The condition is known as Peyronie’s disease. Discomfort and pain during erection and impossibility of coitus are experienced due to the formation of tissues that pull and distort the shape of the organ. The diagnosis is made by a specialist and requires surgical removal of the tissues leading to the distortion. According to numerous studies, the sensitivity of the penis in men also changes, becomes weaker. It is not clear whether tighter contact and other grips give a higher result in reaching orgasm. According to specialists, changes related to the penis are not a reason to affect a man’s sex life. One recent study involving 2,213 men showed a decrease in erectile function, libido and ejaculation ability, but only in those who experienced personal dissatisfaction with sex. And the best way for a man to feel satisfaction from sex is when he is able to give pleasure to his partner. For this, the doctors insist, feats in bed or a large penis are not required.related to the penis are not a reason to affect a man’s sex life.
