At 48yo, I found that the older you get, you need a longer recovery time, boners might be more erratic and inconsistent, your health and nutrition becomes very important, and every little thing can affect your erections, like type of girl, comfort and anxiety, stress, odor, lack of sleep, etc.
There's a lot of helpful advice in this thread. In addition:
- Try taking ZMA(zink, magnesium) This can make your erections harder but not sustain them.
- Try taking red Ginseng. This can improve your libido
- DO NOT watch any porn or masturbate at your age
- Make sure you have plenty of sleep before you see her
- Do not eat any type of SOY products
- There's no shame in carrying either Viagra or Cialis to assist you. You can get 30 pills of generic Viagra(Sildenafil) from Costco for around $18. This pills are so small, it's easy to carry a couple in your wallet. You can excuse yourself to the bathroom and take a Viagra a little before without her knowing.
- If you haven't yet, go get a testosterone test from the Doctor but make sure you request a number result. Most doctors will just tell you if you are normal but have a wide range on what is "normal". If you get a numbered result back, you can make your own conclusions on what works for you.
- As we get older, our refactory period is longer meaning we need more time between sex(there will be exceptions of course). Because of this, if I know the gal wants to go multiple rounds, I'll pound her but not ejaculate. I found I get super tired if I ejaculate more than once within a few hour period. There is an ejaculation guideline regarding time in the Tao religion that is age dependent, which I found interesting. This wouldn't be there for no reason IMO. There is some truth to refactory period the older you get.
- Determine if your erection issues are biological or psychological. If it's biological, you'll know it because you won't have any more morning wood.
- Lastly, the older you get, the more specific a girl you need to turn you on sexually. When we are younger, pretty much any girl can initiate an erection on us. I found sexual chemistry becomes even more important when we get older. I've had some girls that couldn't give me a long lasting erection. Thought I had some issues until I met a gal that instantly gives them to me again.
If you find yourself not being able to perform, don't let a woman shame you. It's her fault for not being able to get you excited. Flip the script and always put the responsibility on her to get you there, especially if she's being a brat about it.
