At 82 years of age must I assume that my sex life has expired?

You bring up a very interesting topic. My libido(ability to become aroused and perform) has decreased markedly over the past few years. Not to say that beautiful gals don't interest me. They certainly do. I love my wife and can become slightly aroused in bed, but cannot become very hard. I enjoy caressing her and bringing her to climax. We are in our mid and early seventies so you have a few years on us. I just went to have my testosterone levels checked. Perfectly normal. I seem to remember Tony Randall fathering a child in his eighties so there's that. I don't have any answers, my friend. I wish you well.

I am 78 and while I have ED due to radiation for prostate cancer, I still have desire for orgasm and quality sexual intercourse. I enjoy an orgasm in any way it occurs. I have started using a Vacuum Erection Device (pump) to increase my erections to 100% hardness. It does work. I use viagra in advance to assure blood flow to the penis and after an hour I apply the VED to obtain a quality erection which is more than adequate for great sex. I have also started to use TRI-MIX injections and an alternative to the VED. It produces a very high quality erection even without stimulation. It does require a little more calibration of dosage, which your urologist and specify. These erections last at least an hour if desired. I suggest you ask your Dr. to help you out.

Another avenue to explore is couples intimacy therapy. Most PC centers of excellence offer that service. In my case it's free for me(us) for a few sessions.

My urologist tells me that men who get implants (they use one from Boston Scientific; you could search it) are very happy with them; he says a typical comment is “I wish I had done this years ago, it has given me confidence”. This seems too invasive to me, but it might be possible to get over my squeamishness. Nothing else is 100% effective at solving the erection problem.

I had a Rigicon penile implant which is a malleable type of implant put in 2 years ago. This type of implant means I am erect all the time ..it bends down to store it out of the way. It is 2 rods with stainless steel springs inside covered in silicone coating. I'm 71 with various health issues getting this type of implant was one of the best things I have done. The other type of implant is an inflatable meaning itis like 2 balloons placed in the penis with a pump you access by pumping a bulb in your testicles. It is a much more involved surgery than the Rigicon type of implant.

Man you get my vote even wanting to look at a woman unless she’s about 20 years younger. My urologist said well if you take anti depressants that’s the issue. The boner pills help get it going but can’t feel anything.

I got an inflatable penile prostheses and an artificial urinary sphincter five months ago. I had incontinence since my radical prostatectomy in 2016 and ED since ADT in 2022. I had both surgeries at the same time. I am 74 years old and am VERY happy with the results of both. It is nice to have regular intercourse again and not have to use five or six bulky pads a day.

So happy You gave me some new ideas!
