Men's sexual function maintains age

Male sexual function is related to the happiness of the whole family. The more harmonious the sex life of a couple is, the longer they can stay together. Both men and women have strong sexual desires at a certain age, and they need to understand and cooperate with each other. In addition, the age at which male sexual function is maintained is also very important. So how long is the age at which men's sexual function is maintained? Let's find out with the editor below.

There is no fixed time for male sexual function to disappear. It is mainly related to your own physical quality and lifestyle. If you are in good health, not very tired, and love sports, then your sexual function can be maintained after the age of 60. If your physical health is not very good, you may lose your sexual function when you are 50. To treat male sexual dysfunction, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for an examination first, and then conduct targeted treatment after the cause of the disease is determined. In addition, you should strengthen physical exercise, strictly prohibit smoking, alcohol and spicy food, enhance nutrient absorption, and maintain good living habits and mentality.

The length and circumference of the elderly penis shrink slightly, which is an inevitable phenomenon in the aging process. There are two situations in which the penis shrinks. One is that it is smaller than in the younger period in the normal softened state. This is one of the manifestations of systemic aging and degeneration, and is due to the thinning of the penis skin and subcutaneous tissue. This situation does not necessarily affect sexual ability; the second is that in the erect state, the penis size is smaller than in the younger period. This may be due to the hardening of blood vessels in the elderly, and the blood cannot enter the penis smoothly. This situation often affects the ability to erect, and treatment is required in severe cases.

Age-related changes in endocrine function

After entering the early or late stages of old age, the secretion of testosterone by testicular interstitial cells decreases, while the binding capacity of testosterone-binding protein increases, thereby reducing the free testosterone in the blood.

The level of gonadotropin in the blood of elderly men is higher than that of men under 50 years old. However, compared with postmenopausal women, the increase of gonadotropin in the blood of men is less and slower with age, which indicates that the negative feedback inhibition of gonadotropin secretion by sex hormones in elderly men can still be maintained to a considerable extent.

Age-related changes in sexual desire, sexual ability, and sexual activity

Due to the age-related changes in testicular function and endocrine function, male sexual desire will inevitably be affected, and will affect sexual ability and the frequency of sexual activity. Male sexual ability is strongest at the age of 18, and then slowly weakens, and becomes more severe after the age of 50. The sexual desire that dominates young men is mostly "fullness and relief desire"; while "contact desire" exists throughout life and is the main sexual desire that dominates older men.
