Here are just a few of the many articles I found on men, aging and sex.

I think it's odd how the conventional wisdom has it that men peak at 18 and it's downhill after that , while women don't peak sexually until their 30s or 40s. In order to understand you have to examine exactly what these two "facts" are based on. The supposed male peak at 18 is based solely on sperm production, and it is indeed true that men produce their greatest amount of sperm at 18 and there is a slow decline thereafter. But sperm production DOES NOT equate to sexual peak.

On the other hand , the sexual peak of women in their 30s and 40s is based on psychological, hormonal, physical, emotional, and experiential factors. In fact, women reach their peak for fertility at an early age, too. The years women are peaking in sexual PLEASURE are actually when their fertility has already declined significantly, i.e. their 30s and 40s.

So in my way of thinking, men need to think in terms of sexual enjoyment, not just sperm production , and they can also be enjoying sex more than ever in their 30s, 40s, and even 50s. I know, I'm 52, and I enjoy sex far more than I did when I was younger. My wife, at 47, is really just hitting her peak, and we both look forward to years of wonderful lovemaking together.

I agree, the older we got, the better our sex life got and it just continues to grow.

I think a lot of misconception about a mans sexual peak is the fact that most 18 year olds get hard when the wind blows and have very quick "recovery" time. That certianly doesnt mean they have a clue about what they are doing. As I stated before, I see no difference than when I was 25. It works on command, and much of the time when it isnt necessary it tells me its ready to "serve"..lol The thing I like about being older, is I can get off as quick as necessary, or last as long as necessary, Its my choice. Control when I was much younger ,if I remember right , was an issue at times. Now its a matter of choice, timing, or satisfaction.
