Question:
I am a 64 year old male in very good physical condition. Frequency of sex is 3-4 times weekly, lasting from 30 to 60 minutes. Three or four times with ejaculation and then nothing for 3-4 or maybe every other time. Fluid is abundant and medium consistency. This is not a major cause of distress although she enjoys my fluid ejaculations.

Approximately 50% of all men 64 years of age have an erectile dysfunction and a decline in sexual desire and for a man to be having sex three or four times a week is exceptional (probably even with the help of Viagra). One of the inevitable changes that a man must accept is the growing inconsistency of his ability to ejaculate. It is not surprising to me that at the rate reported, ejaculations are not occurring each and every time. Gosh, I though sex was about having fun and expressing love.... not a number count to see how many or how abundant each orgasmic episode is. Most of us aging males no longer count the number of times we can ejaculate... we just count our blessings! Robert W.
