Men in their 50's....

Okay so I am 41. I have met two men in the last year who have been age 51/52. Both have not managed to last more than 2 minutes in the bedroom.
Is this normal for men of this age? This wouldn't be a deal breaker but I'm not sure if this is normal or they just had other issues. The most uncomfortable thing was that they would be apologetic afterwards and I would be trying to emotionally rescue them!!!

DP is late 50s, no issues. Maybe a run of bad luck!

Shouldn't imagine it's normal if they're remotely fit, but at that age things like high bp and general unfitness are much more common.

Dh is 56 and isn't like this.

Mrstamborineman · 09/01/2022 23:06

As above. Dh is v capable actually, daily.

Not normal in my experience. Which isn't extensive, but two 50 plus in last year. Both more than adequate. Ai.

I think that’s more a young mans problem. Maybe it had been a long time or nervous.

DP is mid 50s and he is the opposite!!

massiveblob · 09/01/2022 23:42

Not an issue for most I'd say

@guhjof

Probably not that uncommon, but you will get a myriad of posts on here now, from posters bragging about what a rampant goer their DH/DP is, even though he is 52/55/58/60/65, how he can go for HOURS, how much better he is than he was 30 years ago, and how well endowed he is. Ignore these comments. It's not like this with most men. And definitely not men over 50.

Also, you are only 41? Why are you going for men as old as early to mid 50s?

Is there Much foreplay? Are they attentive to your needs?

BootySOS · 09/01/2022 23:49

Do you mean they came after a couple of mins or couldn't keep it up?

Some men come quickly and some don't. For those who come quickly if you want things toast longer there are ways and means but it takes getting to know each other to implement them.

After a lifetime of men who took ages or couldn't come at all, I'm finding my current bf's faster rhythm absolutely brilliant. If you don't like it, don't see them again.

First time after a dry spell, maybe. I’d give them a second chance.
