What are the sexual functions of 60-year-old men?

Sexual ability has always been a topic that men pay more attention to, because sex is a normal physiological need. Everyone needs it to maintain the passion and fun of life. However, sexual ability will gradually decline with the aging of the human body. For example, the sexual ability of the elderly is an issue that deserves great attention. Among them, what are the manifestations of the sexual function of a 60-year-old man? Let's take a look at the explanation below.

Older men's sexual response becomes slower.

Genital response: The time it takes for the penis to respond to an erection increases. The older the age, the longer it takes, and the more contact stimulation is needed. After the penis is erect, ejaculation often lasts for a long time. After the penis is erect but no ejaculation occurs, it becomes flaccid, and it is very difficult to get an erection again. Before ejaculation, the penis often cannot achieve a complete erection, but the congestion around the glans penis can be experienced, and the entire penis body grows longer and thicker. During ejaculation, the muscle contraction weakens, and the semen actually only seeps out of the urethra instead of being "ejaculated". The penis in the resolution period quickly returns to the state before sexual stimulation within a few seconds. The refractory period lasts for a long time and can be unresponsive for 24 hours or more.

The scrotum's congestion response during sexual excitement is significantly reduced, the skin does not thicken or tense, and the testicles are rarely lifted by the scrotum; the testicles' lifting response during sexual excitement is reduced, and the lift during ejaculation is less than 1/2 of the normal level; the testicles' congestion and enlargement response rarely occurs, and the testicles drop and retract quickly after orgasm. Aftereffects outside the genitals: Sexual flushing does not occur in the sexual response of many elderly people. When sexual flushing occurs before ejaculation, it indicates that their orgasm experience is more intense; involuntary muscle spasms rarely occur during orgasm, and the rhythmic contraction of the organs is also significantly weakened; the tension of the anal sphincter decreases.

From the perspective of sexual physiology of the elderly, with the decrease of sex hormone levels, the decline or termination of fertility, their sexual response will undergo a certain degree of degenerative changes, but aging does not necessarily mean the inevitable decline of sexual desire and the loss of the ability to achieve orgasm. It should be emphasized here that for most people, the decline of sexual response ability is a gradual process, and elderly couples are not necessarily unable to enjoy the pleasure of sex. Understanding the physiological characteristics of the sexual response of the elderly is more conducive to the harmony of the elderly in their sexual life.
