What Happens to the Penis with Age?
Aging seems to be cruel in so many respects, not only when it comes to the things that age can do to our bodies (but to a much lesser extent if we take care of ourselves, admittedly), is nothing compared to what it does to most of us when it comes to our penises and the ability to have sustained, fulfilling and pleasurable sex without all the worry that goes along with premature ejaculation and the like.
So, what are some of the things that men have to “look forward to” when it comes to their penises? Do we have a lifetime full of fun surprises in store, or might we be one of the lucky ones that happens to not have any of the typical issues that most men have as they age, and their penis does also.
Premature ejaculation remedies are popular as we age because of the inability to get or maintain an erection and stay in the flacid state are the two most common problems that there are for men with aging penises, and they are easily overcome these days with many different medications, take for instance two of the top sellers – Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.
Even cognitive therapy can be useful for men who have experienced impotence, but for whom no medications for erectile dysfunction (ED) have worked. It is increasingly accepted that men suffer from psychological erectile dysfunction now as well, whereas in the past the typical school of thought on this was that men only suffered erectile dysfunction because of problems with their “plumbing”.
Other problems cited by aging men with their penis and hence their sex lives are (some say) shrinkage. Some men actually report that they think their penis has shrunken in size.
Certain things do shrink as we age, and certain thinks expand, but it’s usually due to weight gain, weight loss, and muscle gain and muscles mass loss, not anything having to do with the actual tissue composure of the penise. Perhaps perception is that the penis has shrunken because a man does not get as hard as he used to or has trouble maintaining the hard, long and fat erections of his youth.
However, there is really no evidence that any actual real “shrinkage” takes place on the penis due to age. Hence the immense popularity of penile enlargement products, penis enlargement exercises and the like, and instruments like penis extenders that are supposed to help gently guide the penis mechanically to a larger size and girth in it’s flacid state.
So, while we are experiencing all the physical joys of aging (yes I’m being facetious), we can know that age does bring one thing that is priceless and valuable, and that is wisdom, courage and fearlessness that come with the years we have under our belt.
I love how the older I get, the more I feel that I don’t care so much what every single person thinks of me, and instead I do what’s right for me, and what I feel is best for the people around me, I think that beats any sort of youth any day personally.
