Study: Men's Sex Lives Better at 50 Than 30

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.

I could buy either. I'm in my early 40's, and sex is definitely better now than in my 30's. The only time it was better than now was in my teens when it was still brand new, but you can never go back there.

The fun may not come as often these days, but when it does it is done right and appreciated.

I'm in my late sixties and have sex every night except when my honey and I are apart or one of us has the flu or something. She's in her late 40's. But we both maintain a very healthy diet and vigorous exercise regimen.

For all you young whippersnappers that think I'm full of shit, all I can say is if you care for your body, it WILL take care for you. Plus, my honey is GORGEOUS and SMART and SEXY as can be. I owe it all to her.

You'll have to excuse me now. All this reminds me that I got something to take care of.

I'm talking about desperate women who mistake kindness (He LOOKED to me! He LISTENED to!) for affection, or even love.

Rule of thumb (as per Wombat): if a woman is divorced, it's not necessarily her fault. If she's been divorced twice, you have to start wondering. It also becomes painfully apparent that a good many of them are simply lonely beyond comprehension, and consequently, easy pickings.

The bars and chat rooms are literally chock full of women like this. It's not difficult to take advantage of them. I admit (note: head hanging in shame) that I did this before I met Mrs. Wombat. But hey, I didn't make the rules, I only followed them.

Anyone remember the old joke about the convicts calling out numbers for jokes, because they had heard all the jokes so many times? Mrs. 50sDad and I are much happier approaching 50 because we both know "what works" with each other, and the Dance doesn't take forever. We joke with each other, "you can never die" because the burn-in on a new spouse would take years.

Lol, couldn't hurt. Maybe you just need to hang around a wilder crowd? I confess, my formative years were anything but tame.

HAHHAHAAH...where's the "Big Daddy" pic?

[presidio9]

Actually, I was kind of disappointed that nobody commented on it.

[bpjam]

I think you have things confused. YOU are supposed to be the one doing the buying - not them. I think you will find them much more receptive when you try it this way.

[D-Chivas]

Practice makes perfect???

I think the song goes: "I may not be as good as many times as I once was; but one time I'm as good as I ever was."

"You'll be missing me when you have that big white wrinkly body on top of you with his loose skin and old... balls... gross!"

I will relate the following joke delicately. It is such a great joke relative to this article. I will give the general concepts in an abstraction and leave to you to individually embelish for retelling.

The joke is about a male senior citizen who relates to his physician how over the years, he has been able to bend his *thingy* increasingly from the "watch me shave" orientation to the "staring at the floor" orientation. At the end of his lamenting, in all seriousness, he asks his physician: "How much stronger am I going to get Doc?"

Thanks for the tip, but I'd rather waste my time chasing a nice young conservative girl from a suburb North of Holland.

"Men in their 50s"........Not corpses!

[in hoc signo vinces]

Should be the new rule...anytime there's a hint of "Daddy complex" dropped on a thread, the obligatory big daddy pic must be posted.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHa...it's funny at 33, probably won't be so funny at 53...but not there yet, so it's funny.

Reminds me about the antics at the local nursing home ....

Little Agnes used to race around the halls in her wheelchair at breakneck speeds. Every now and then, one of the old gents would step out in front of her and hold up his hand like a traffic cop having a bad day.

Agnes would screech to a halt and sheepishly wait for the 'cop' to request her license, registration and insurance. Old Agnes would search around until she found a perscription receipt, sales slip etc to present to the 'officer'. Anyway, he would give her a warning and tell her to proceed on her way at a safer speed.

This happened occasionally, but she was always stopped 3-4 times an afternoon and given the same warnings, but never a 'ticket'.

One afternoon as she rounded a corner at top speed, there was an 'officer' standing in the middle of the hall, as usual, but something was different this time. The old gent was butt naked !

Poor Agnes looked up at him in utter fear and said, "Oh NO !! NOT the breathalizer again !"

[adaven]

LOL, that was good.

[Mike Darancette]

I think they (we) just quit complaining.

And we are soooo thankful when it all works right.

[aShepard]

What's sex?????




All we engage in is "Hall Sex"

As we pass each other, muttering "F**k You" to each other

[MajorityOfOne]

Seems reasonable. Back when, young guys fell asleep after sex. At 50, they fall asleep before.
