Masturbation at late age

Posted by newrochelle1131 @newrochelle1131, Feb 27, 2025

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?

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.

Do you take any supplements/vitamins or follow a specific diet?
What about seminal fluid (quantity)?

I do not take any supplements or follow any special diet. I try to eat sensibly, drink lots of water. Avoid alcohol and moderate excercise. I masturbate 3 or 4 times a week on average. I would estimate that my semen during ejaculation is between a teaspoon to a tablespoon on average, depending on my arousal level. Edging a few times will increase my ejaculation amount usually.

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, I hope the change in antidepressant works for you. With any degree of erectile dysfunction, delayed ejaculation due to an antidepressant is almost guaranteed to end sex or masturbation. With the delay, if I was able to have an erection it didn't last long enough for ejaculation. Effexor and other SSRIs were the worst offenders, but even Wellbutrin/buproprion, which is supposedly not a cause of delay, caused me to have delay problems.

I'm 61 and still masturbate. I enjoy the stimulation and ejaculation of my semen. I started when I was 16 years old.

I am 66 years young and I enjoy masturbating a few times a week, or more, without an iota of guilt or any other negative thoughts about it. I am not going to stop until my parts stop working all together. During the scare for about 4 months about the likelihood of early prostate cancer starting with elevated PSA in May, I did some digging for information. Recent ejaculation causes our PSA to rise. I did not know that. I recall doing just that a FEW times the day before my annual exam and labs. My elevated PAS started a whole big mess and scare. Still not stopping; just being educated and mindful. After months of the standard testing (few digitals, more PSAs, MRI and biopsy) and waiting, it turns out I do not have cancer, nor do I have an enlarged prostate. I guess I have a "suspicious spot" there that cannot be explained, except that my urologist compared it to a freckle or skin tag - some ppl have them, some do not. Yay. As to masturbating, I noticed a significant reduction in the related fluids connected with male sexual activity over the years, especially when I reached 60. No changes in libido, arousal or great feelings with ejaculation at all, though. One thing I definitely will not do, and ask you to seriously think about it, is add any supplements to my diet that reportedly enhance the production of semen or libido. Some of those very add-ons will also increase the likelihood of prostate cancer! Be careful! I stay fit with a variety of exercises and very intentional healthy food choices. I think that is the key to enjoying life, including an active sex like (masturbating, included!).

go to a dermatologist about that spot .. I had a small unexplained spot grew slowly over 6 months or more very small on the glans of the penis. She said she thought she knew what it was but only one way to know for sure. So small needle prick to numb and a little tool took a small sample. It ended up being gentile porosis which I had never heard of. Treated it with cream went away once in a while it crops at the time was the only place on my whole body I had it.
