Question for Men about Erections

When I was younger they often happened for no particular reason. In my 60's random erections still happen on occasion lol. These days when I want to get it up I still can. Just the other day a lovely human sent me a picture of herself naked. I had no problem getting an erection at all.

 

Progression of life:
- Up to mid 30. Almost all the time
Seeing a female I liked looking at
Seeing women in bras, bathing suits and bikinis
in catalogues
Talking about sex
Thinking about females (VERRRRRY OFTEN)
Being next to a woman who turned me on
- Up to late 40
Seeing a woman that turned me on
Knowing I was going to have sex
About to have sex
Talking about sex
Getting touched and touching
- Up to early 50
About to have sex or something sexual
Sometimes thinking and talking about sex
- Mid 50 to now
When masturbating, it takes longer to get there
When having sex. Doesn’t get hard right away
most of the time

 

It's also worth mentioning that the same stuff still gets me just as aroused as it ever did when I was younger and more "eager to go." I don't need an erection to be physically aroused. If I see a cute girl in revealing or attractive clothing or if I'm having a sexually charged interaction with someone, I can feel blood rushing into my penis and it feels almost like it's softly vibrating from the inside. It's just not enough to make it hard. But I can definitely feel it and there is no question why it's happening or what my body wants me to do about it.

 

@SandBook
I agree. With age the inner arousal is still there but the outer sign needs more work to manifest itself

 

I'll usually have morning wood followed by 6-7 spontaneous erections throughout the day, as for sexual erections just a few seconds for a beautiful woman

 

As a man in his early fifties the desire is definately there as strong as ever,however the body takes a bit of time to catch up with the thoughts.
Can definately still get the strong erections,they are just not as instantanious as they once were

 

Much more strongly attracted to naked men than women at 71

 

When you’re young it’s very easy to get an erection sometimes for no reason at all! As a mature man now I can still obtain an erection every day as I do everyday because it feels good and if you use it you don’t lose it!

 

Update: I have been taking 10mg of cialis daily. I need direct stimulation to get a full rock hard erection. But I've been getting "soft-ons" constantly from mere visual stimulation. It's fucked up my whole small penis game. But it's radically increased the frequency of my friends telling me I have a bit of an erection.

 

It changes with age. My guess is, not at the same rate and same age for men

 

I'm 74 years old and get hard as soon as I kiss my wife, when I see her naked, when we snuggle together and often when I'm just thinking about her. I am bisexual and frequently get hard when I send my friend a text to see if we can get together. I've always gotten hard quickly and stay hard for several minutes after I've cum.

 

Still pretty easy at 38, i use rings but not for the erection sustain, i use them for the rock hard feeling and orgasm.
And yeah morning wood is common, for me and pretty much any male, testosterone levels are at their highest in the morning.
Also pretty easy to get one in the shower!

 

I am 51 and I have no trouble getting an erection pretty much anytime I want. My last blood work had my T levels in the low 800 range. I contribute it to good diet, good rest and lots of cardio and exercise.

 

Your diet and cardio/exercise is paying off for you. Kudos my friend. 72 and still getting erection and I take of my health.

 

Yes a balanced diet and regular exercise increase overall blood flow, especially cardiovascular workouts, alcohol in excess is well known for lack of wood, as with smoking.

 

I've never had any problems most of my life, and I've even maintained erections for hours (I'm a very sexual being). But in my mid-50s, there were a few occasions with my girlfriend when I couldn't maintain my erection for intercourse. Now in my early 60s, I have encountered similar issues with a few guys, having no problem getting an instant erection (like always in all sexual situations in my life), and maintaining the erection throughout foreplay (as it was with my girlfriend), but then not being able to maintain it for intercourse.

I know it's an age thing, the lowering of testosterone for example, but it's always embarrassing and makes me depressed that I'm not able to fulfil my partner's needs (woman or man). But I'm definitely thinking it's also due to the fact that my exercise regimen has decreased quite a bit lately in the last few years since Covid. But those lockdowns breaking that regular momentum of going to the gym 3-4 times a week for years and years to use the equipment and the pool really messed me up. Inertia is a powerful thing. I know I have got to get back to the gym, but either the next time I have to go to my doctor or making a special appointment, I'm asking to be put on Viagra or Cialis. I've also decreased the amount of sex I have because of the ED, and that is not good for me. I can't take it anymore. Penetrative sex is really important to me. I love that feeling of closeness and intimacy with another person when I'm inside them, making love with them.

 

In my 50's now. I don't have a problem getting hard, but for the most part it's usually something that happens during sex only, or many times I do still get morning wood.

But in my teens and college years I'd get the random boners all the time. I remember one time in particular I was in college sitting in class and started to get another random boner for no reason. It was the most intense, raging hard on I ever had. Unfortunately I didn't have a GF to take care of it, so I had to go find a bathroom after class and take care of it myself.

 

64 and as I have previously posted I am fortunate to have no issue but I exercise several times per week and eat healthy no drinks drugs smokes. Just good eating and lots of sex

 

Being in the older category, I am happy to say that I still get those inconvenient pop ups from time to time. And. If I'm not already hard before I get naked for sex, the moment I do expose myself, it pops up into attention immediately. My sex partners always comment on how hard my cock is, which just makes me hornier. Lol
