Is this Normal as men age?

Is it possible for men to lose girth as they age? My DP is in his mid 40’s and since the birth of our youngest he’s said I’ve gotten bigger down there. I’m sure he’s also lost some of his girth (and he wasn’t very thick to begin with) but he’s not convinced. He doesn’t do any exercise, smokes and is depressed, but this hasn’t affect his sex drive. He is having trouble staying hard unless sex is rough and I give him deep blow jobs. I’m a bit fed up because there is hardly any effort from him foreplay wise and and if I’m not constantly giving him a deep blow job he goes soft or can’t climax.

why is his penis issue your fault?
Erectile dysfunction is a very common condition, particularly in older men. It is estimated that half of all men between the ages of 40 and 70 will have it to some degree.

To some extent, a decrease in penile sensitivity seems to be part of the aging process for many men. According to research published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, delayed orgasm — an issue in which men find it difficult or impossible to orgasm from penetrative sex — is more common in men above the age of 50. I know you said mid 40’s but close enough.

He does sound a bit selfish to be honest and needs to realise that you need and deserve attention too. It sounds as though you are doing all the giving here and recieving nothing back.

To answer your question about girth. No, I don't believe that that changes with aging. I'm mid-fifties and my length and girth is the same as it has been throughout my adult life.

What can change however is the lessening of the stiffness of erections which may give the impression that girth is reduced. As pps have suggested this is what may be happening here.

Lifestyle especially has an impact, as I guess you realise. Whilst a younger man might drink, smoke, do no exercise and not have any erectile difficulties it's not necessarily the case with an older man. Being as fit and healthy as possible, having a good, balanced diet and getting plenty of sleep really is the name of the game. His depression may well be playing part too which will need some medical support if he's not getting that already.

Getting on top of these issues may well resolve things, if he is willing to engage seriously. I realise this is easier said than done for some people.

There is also the option of ED medication eg. Viagra (Sildenafil) or Cialis (Tadalafil) which is available on prescription online or over the counter at a chemist. Occasional use of these medications (speaking from personal experience as a 50 something year old man) can be very effective indeed.

But first and foremost I'd recommend encouraging him to improve his lifestyle - a good thing anyway - before considering medication (ideally after direct consulation with a doctor), as this will probably go a long way to resolving the issue.

But also, crucially, as I said at the beginning getting him to understand your needs and his responsibility to focus on your pleasure in the bedroom at least as much - if not more - than his own.

It must be marvellous to have the absolute confidence, that so many men have, that nothing is their fault and nothing is their responsibility. Can you imagine how easy and stress free your life could be if you had that mind set?

What's a deep blowjob, when you get the balls on your chin?

NoDatingForOldMen · 15/02/2023 21:22

No, we don’t loose girth, but less blood means less firmness, try some low dose viagra, will help with the blood supply

The penis is also affected by "use it or lose it". So regular activity of one sort or another may help. Perhaps solo to start.

Lack of exercise and depression are deffo causes of lack of desire. Lack of desire will cause difficulties maintaining an erection and might explain the lack of interest in foreplay and fixation on pornsex.

If he hits the gym and quits the ciggies he'll probably sort out the depression too.

Deep throat BJ like in porn - where you take the whole penis deep into your throat. Depends on how big the penis is whether this is unpleasant or not. My bf’s isn’t huge so it’s not unpleasant but can be with a larger penis, makes you gag.

Dh is 54 and not lost any girth or hardness. Sex is better than ever.

notHarryagain · 16/02/2023 10:27

53 yr old male . no change in hardness, length/girth post 50 but definitely reduced sensitivity which means PIV climax takes longer

It sounds like it could be multifactorial. Diet plays a role in sexual health for sure. It could be that only certain sex acts get him off hence why he is able to stay erect during rough sex of during deep oral. That of course is a mental thing. I'm sorry you are experiencing that. I know how frustrating things can become when you are NOT having your bed-ly needs met. I wish I had a better answer for you in terms of what you can try or do.

From my limited point of view, if things are not clicking in the bedroom, there is a or are connection issues outside of the bedroom. I would start at least by trying to address issues of concern there.

ArcticSkewer · 16/02/2023 12:22

Is he on antidepressants? Those might be affecting his quality of erection.

Without giving it too much credence, I guess you are also happy with your pelvic floor strength? There are some really good devices now to improve pelvic floor tone if it is something you want to look into.
