Masturbation at late age

Posted by newrochelle1131 @newrochelle1131, Feb 27 1:43pm

Is it normal for men over 70 (without medical prob;ems) to masturbate? How often? Any adverse effects? Are there natural ways to increase the production of seminal fluid?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Men's Health Support Group.

Why not. According to everything that I have read there is no maximum or minimum amount and it is not harmful, at least physically speaking.

I'm in my 60s and recovering from prostate cancer. I was told to masturbate as much as possible to get blood flowing which is the first medical instruction I've ever gotten that I've been more than happy to comply with 😃. Go for it!

There is some evidence that more frequent ejaculation might lower
the risk of prostate cancer. Many functions of healthy aging are affected
by use it or lose it.

Congratulations that you’re still able! I hope you’re able to use it with the opposite sex too.

Totally normal to masturbate. Orgasms feel great and have health benefits. Not sure if you can increase semen production, but you should make sure to stay hydrated. Water intake is important. Also, at 71 myself, I have noticed the volume of my ejaculations is less than when I was 20-50 yrs old. Try "edging" some when you masturbate...stop just before you are about to cum, then repeat 2 or 3 times. When I do this and finally release, my orgasm is more intense and my ejaculation is stronger and the amount of semen increases. Hope this helps.

My father, who overshares, told me at age 89 that he was, uh, not stopping yet. Reading the comments, I'd say you have everyone's permission to be like my dad.

At near 80 yrs old and having little satisfying sex, even with myself, for the past 35 years because of antidepressants, I am presently slowly replacing Effexor with Mirtazapine in order to maybe experience sexual pleasure again. Wish me luck.

David, sorry to hear of your issues. I am fortunate no to be on any medications that have sexual side effects. Getting older is troublesome enough, the occassional ED issues, but am able to masturbate, even when only half erect, and have a nice orgasm and decent ejaculation. I hope you can regain some sexual enjoyment.

Hi.
Are there any conferences in NYC, related to male sexual functioning in their 70 and 80s?
Are the conferences ongoing or just date-specific?
Thanks.
