Study: Men's Sex Lives Better at 50 Than 30
Web Md ^ | 2/22/06 | Miranda Hitti

Men in their 50s are more satisfied with their sex lives than men in their 30s, a new study shows.

Findings from the study, published in BJU International, include:

--Men’s sexual function (sex drive, erection, ejaculation) tends to fade with age.

--Men’s sexual satisfaction peaks when men are in their 20s.

--Men in their 50s are a close second in sexual satisfaction.

In short, men reported sexual satisfaction long after the heyday of their youth had passed.

“Our results show that although men experience more problems and less sexual function as they get older, it doesn’t necessarily follow that they are less satisfied with their sex lives as a result,” says researcher Sophie Fossa, MD, PhD, in a news release.

Uh, maybe it's because by that time most men forget what sex is?

On another front, Ozzie Osborne said his son Jack was led to the use of harder drugs by first using pot.

Left unsaid in the article;

The proportion of thrice-divorced hellions desperate for a relationship skyrockets after they reach the age of 40.

At that point,they are willing to do just about anything in the hopes of finding someone to support them in their old age. I know plenty of women (including my own mother) who fall into this category.

Men, being the opportunistic buggers that we are, take full advantage of this "low-hanging fruit", just as we did in our twenties and thirties when women were free with their sexual favors in the name of 'feminism'.

Women keep making the same mistakes and hoping for different results. Men keep laughing behind their hands.

Required Disclaimer: The Present Mrs. Wombat (my first marriage, her second) falls into none of these categories. She's always been, and always will be, a quite capable lady and a wonderful companion.

Plus once you hit mid 40s - the kids leave the nest.

Hey! I'm 52 and don't have them out of the house yet! What are you talking about!

If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards.

Through experience, we KNOW how to please a man!

I can vouch for that. Younger women are nice to look at, but older women definitely know how to please.

I used to believe that...lol...just like some women still say that size doesn't matter.

Both are lines used to bolster someone else's self esteem.

Experienced cruddy lovers are still cruddy lovers regardless of age.

50's is way too young to be using Viagra.

Both of your writings are words that I've lived by!

Plus, Internet dating makes women easier to find than it was back in high school or college...

New rule for people over 50:

I'm glad that you enjoy sex. Go nuts with it. But keep in mind that most of us under 50 have no interest in hearing about it.

PS> Could you pass this message along to the gay community on your way out?

I see your problem. You can't tell the difference between a man in his 50's and a man in his mid 70's.

In my experience, that interest disappears once the clothes come off.

Now that's just sad. Luckily for me, my experiences have been everything but dissapointing.

that can be a very good thing for the ladies

Hey RR, I've been trying to explain to the younger ladies that us old guys are worth it.
So far they ain't buying it.
