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?

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 am 75 and still masturbate 3 to 4 times a week. After two TURP procedures I had delayed ejaculation and then partial RE where some semen comes out but not much on orgasm. Sex with wife stopped a few years ago and now masturbation is getting a little mundane and need more stimulation. She said sex hurt (have a thick penis) and vaginal atrophy with less lubrication made sex uncomfortable. Looking for ways to get her more intimately involved and hopefully participate even have her watch me masturbate (erotic experience) or join in or if I can ever get her to mutual masturbation to stimulate her and try sex again. Any of you run up against any resistance to suggestions above? Comes down to needing a little more than my own helping hand.

Boy, if you find any solutions to that please pass them on. My situation is similar. Sex is a solo operation at this point. Better than nothing I guess. Thank goodness for internet porn.

@pc75 I am 74, had HOLEP 4 years ago. My wife is 70, with osteoporosis. We worry about me breaking her bones during sex, and it doesn’t feel that good to her anymore. We have a very healthy sex life, it’s exciting and passionate. We take turns masturbating each other. I please her, she pleases me. We both love it…..and love each other. Talk to her about it. The important thing is to love each other. Communicate.

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!).

IMO with me, weekly physical exercises including aerobic for 50 years has kept my junk from going to the trunk. Less muscle mass than when I was 25 and amount of ejaculate, but it still feels good. I recommend you keep it up.

Same with me. I don't preach the Bible, but I feel like I'm violating the rule relating to lust. I wish there was some way that I could know that what is a natural bodily function, would keep me from being happy after I leave this earth.
