I believe everyone feels like they don't have enough time, and in the blink of an eye, a day has passed. Sexual aging comes about unintentionally like this.
What are the manifestations of sexual aging?
1. Testicular contraction
Men generally age from 50 to 60 years old. As they age, testicular interstitial cells can gradually age and undergo degenerative changes, significantly reducing testosterone secretion and testicular volume. At this time, various tissues and organs of the body age and their functions also decline.
2. Changes in the appearance of the penis
When a man is in his forties, his glans gradually loses its purplish red color, mainly due to a decrease in blood circulation. Due to the decrease in androgen levels, the pubic hair of the penis will also become rarer and gradually return to pre puberty. In addition, like other parts of the body, the epidermis of the penis will also relax.
3. Reduced size
Generally speaking, after puberty, the male penis basically stops developing. As age increases, the length and thickness of the penis also undergo slight changes. From the age of 50 to 70, the penis size decreases by 1-3 centimeters.
4. The penis is more curved
The penis has scars that accumulate unevenly, and the penis may be bent, known as penile sclerosis. It is commonly seen in middle-aged people, causing pain during erection and difficulty during sexual intercourse. Patients should seek medical attention actively.
5. Reduced sensitivity
The most obvious manifestation is a decrease in the number of sexual impulses. After the age of 60, the average number of orgasms per year decreases by 10-50 compared to the age of 30, which varies from person to person. Delayed sexual response, low semen volume, extreme fatigue after sexual activity, and significantly prolonged refractory period (i.e. the time between two consecutive erections and ejaculation).
How should men delay sexual aging?

This is because adhering to regular exercise, responsive, slow organ aging, and enhanced disease resistance. As one's physique becomes stronger, their functional decline will naturally slow down.
