Erections Throughout Your Lifetime

Young men in their teens, twenties, and early thirties can usually get an immediate erection with very little stimulation. They almost always reach a sexual climax quite rapidly and are able to get another erection before very long.

Men in their late thirties through their fifties often need more stimulation to get an erection. It will also take a little longer, perhaps a few minutes, for them to become fully hard. They must usually wait at least an hour or more to get a second erection.

When men reach their sixties and seventies, they need much more direct physical stimulation. They may take ten minutes or more to get a good erection and may have some trouble, at least occasionally, keeping it long enough for satisfactory intercourse.

After the age of about eighty, most men can continue to enjoy sexual activity if they are healthy. They will not have erections that are as firm or long-lasting as when they were younger, nor will they have them as frequently. But if they have an interested partner, sex can still be a very pleasant, and regular, experience.

With the emergence of Viagra, this picture will definitely change. Now, as men grow older, they will have this assistance of this wonderful drug to help them achieve quicker, more reliable, and more frequent erections. It will make a great change in the lives of millions of couples.
