was always good for MSOG in a 1-hr. session. Once I reached 55 or so, sometimes the 2nd round didn't always happen in 1 hour. I switched to 90 minute and often 2-hr. sessions and I was still good for MSOG. Now that I am in my mid-60's, I appreciate the journey even if MSOG are not always a reality.  

MSOG still happens but not every time. I wish I could figure out the whys or what ifs regarding diet, sleep, hydration level, etc. It is most certainly not the "hotness" of the provider because it sometimes happens with the same provider and sometimes it doesn't.

...who will?

I changed my lifestyle completely in my late 30s -- went from 248 pounds to 160, then hit the gym (with the assistance of a great personal trainer) and got into shape. Paid very close attention to diet, rational supplementation, plenty of water every day and increased amounts of rest. Two years later and I was 197 pounds at 9% body fat.

25 years later and I'm not quite the same hard body, but not bad for an old guy (63) who is a year and half out from spinal fusion surgery. Back to lifting and now at 182 pounds looking to add another 15 pounds of muscle over the next 18-24 months.

My sexual urges are *almost* as high now as they were 20+ years ago and I'm having more fun doing more things for a longer period. Don't fret the details, enjoy life and take care of yourself.

One last thing -- get regular checkups with your medical professional(s) and listen to what they have to say. Get them on board but you're in the driver's seat -- it's YOUR life.

Enjoy!

It helps to have good genes too.  If you're parents, grandparents, etc. have a history of health related problem that could be passed down through genetics, it could affect you as you age such as heart disease, diabetes, etc.  Any type of circulatory disease can also affect your sexual performance later in life too.  For many guys, BPH and other prostate related issues can also become a problem as you age, so that's something you need to keep in mind and get checked regularly with your doctor.

It doesn't hurt to keep fit, exercise regularly, maintain a good diet, and keeping your overall health in check.  I've done that throughout most of my life. Overall, I've never had any major medical problems and I'll turn 61 in a few months (knock on wood ...LOL).  Although, I noticed that my recovery rate started to slow down when I hit 50 or so, so I don't try for MSOG as if I were still in my teens or 20s.  Now, I'm more into quality vs. quantity. LOL

It can, but it depends you how you approach it.  

1.  Getting older is inevitable.  You are guaranteed to have aches and pains, any old injuries (sports, crashing my motorcycle in 1972, etc) are going to come back to haunt you.  

2.  I had a buddy in the Army 45 years ago.  He was 29, but complained about already being "an old man".  I'm surprised he was still alive last time I checked with him a few years ago.  Attitude makes a huge difference.  On the other side, my neighbor is 92.  He is still in love with the wife he met during WWII, walks every day with his oxygen tank, is a master woodcarver, photographer and clock-maker. The guy is my personal hero and a genuine Renaissance man.

3.  Sex changes, sure.  I can still go twice in an hour, but it's not guaranteed and not my goal any more.  

4.  Keep taking care of yourself by diet and exercise and that'll make a big difference.  Once you sit on your ass, you go downhill fast.  

5.  It's better than the alternative; not getting older.

there will be huge advances in medicine and how humans age .  With the current research in DNA  and gene therapy, it is likely that many ailments we see now at age 60 will not be a factor.  Don't look at 60 year olds now and assume that is what the world will look like in 2050. Take care of yourself and enjoy the ride.

You have a good start by taking care of yourself now-I wish I would have. I believe it was Senator Strom Thurmond who was still fathering children into his late seventies, so I lot depends upon genes & good luck. Try to limit stress in your life, don't obsess too much about 40 years from now & enjoy the moment.

I had a 60 hour/week job and two kids I was raising. I tried to eat right/exercise, but it was hard. Nowadays, I'm retired, eat right (paleo with occasional indulgences :) ), exercise nearly every day, mixing weights, yoga and cycling. I weighed about 190 when I was 42, now it's about 170-175, and it's lean weight. I sleep 8 hours/night and take naps when I feel like it. I feel great!

So, the point here is that your physical condition is largely up to you. Some things that have changed:

My hair is almost Anderson Cooper white, but it's still there! I refuse to dye it.
My skin shows some age, mainly wrinkles, but they are mostly smile wrinkles!
Recovery from intense exercise is noticeably slower. I put 3 recovery days between heavy lifting workouts. Cycling long distances (100 miles) leaves me pretty tired for several days. I'm not strong on multiday cycling events.
Joints are getting a bit stiff. Yoga helps a lot.

Sexually, I do take Viagra or Cialis, and get erect like a teenager :). However, refractory time is a lot slower and two goes in a hour is usually an effort, so that doesn't always happen. It was never the main goal, anyway, so I'm fine with that.

So, eat right, exercise, sleep, and minimize stress, maybe learn yoga and/or meditation to help with stress. Age is not "just a number" but how your body changes as you age is more under your control than most people realize. Reject stereotypes, get out there and be active. Or, stay BCD and be active ;). Or both!

I would recommend a book called "The  Edge Effect" by Eric Braverman. It's available on Amazon cheap. I"m 67 and still work physical job. Everything was going great till Wham ,,,, Was diagnosed Parkinson 3 years ago. I recognized it early as my father had it. The medicines all have side effects and only slow he progression . Got this book and read it and used it and I am doing better now than a year ago. It is good for many  other degenerative  problems. Most importantly for prevention.

Let's make the distinction between "aging" and "getting  old."

Like most of life, attitude counts for a LOT of how you enjoy things. I take the attitude that while I will age, I refuse to get old.

As Groucho said, "You're only as old as the women you feel."

Of course, at my age, they're almost ALL younger than me

... I feel much better!  :)

Physically, I'm in better shape than in my 40s, but even more so than in my 30s.  I let myself go then, was too busy to take care of myself due to work, raising kids, grad school etc.  I decided 25 years ago to take time each day for myself, and get some vigorous exercise every day, even if just for 30 minutes.  Also to eat more healthy (was eating too much fast food and drinking too much pop).  Now I'm fit and trim, waist size is what it was in college.  No problems with stamina & strength.  I can physically do anything I want to do.  (I can't run a marathon, but I don't want to!). The only thing that's different now is my joints aren't 25 years old any more, so I get a twinge in my knees now and then and when I lift I don't go heavy like I did when I was young (I don't need/want huge muscles anyway, and I still want working shoulders and knees when I'm 90).  

Psychologically I feel a lot better now than I did in my 30s and 40s also.  Less stress (kids are grown, job not as intense, no more grad school) but the biggest difference is that I'm enjoying regular physical intimacy with kind, sexy women, which I didn't have for about 25 years.  That has made so much difference in my life, in my happiness and stress level.  And it doesn't hurt the old ego to get compliments from 20- and 30-something women (not just providers).  :)  Those, and the good feeling of being fit, make the effort I put into staying fit worth it.  Anyway, I found that once I got into the habit of daily exercise, it was something I look forward to every day.

I've seen guys at my gym who are about 80 and still exercising regularly and in great shape.  They're an inspiration to me... along with all the lovely, fit women I see at the gym. ;)

The point about how stress decreases when the kids move out can't be emphasized enough.

If your kids are still hanging out after college or well into their 20s, then this is a song you need to play for them until they go:

aging and disease

I am 75, work a 60 hour week, have an active sex life which is never enough (I still have to masturbate.) I have had prostate cancer and chose the least invasive treatment and a heart scare (both more than 15 years ago.) I have been very fortunate that I could be treated for these.  
I used to exercise regular but don't have time.  
I love bicycling and kayaking both of which I do regularly.  (I gave up roller blading a couple of years ago.)
I know I am older because: 1) It take me longer to lose belly fat now than it used to. 2) I sometimes forget names and even words. They come later. 3) I have to urinate two or three times a night and often during the day (I am a member of the "Never pass porcelain" club.)  

On the other hand: I have a 30 some year old neighbor who has been crippled by arthritis which has not responded to any available treatment. He can't play golf, has trouble walking, really can not do his own regular shopping. This is obviously not aging.

As you get older you accumulate more diseases and increase your chance of developing new ones.  Failing that most people seem quite able to function at least to age 80 though some go much longer.

Based on my experience at age 68, you joke about getting old at 40, you joke a little more at 50, and when you hit 60 you realize it ain't no joke.

I retired last year and after thinking about all the things I was going to do involving physical activity it hasn't panned out. I have a lot of arthritis in my back and especially my neck and it is much more limiting than I thought it would be. I was a computer programmer so I suspect it is related to years of poor posture in front of the computer. So if you are sitting at a desk all day,  I suggest you make the necessary corrections now.

I was fortunate to keep my stamina and responsiveness into my early sixties. Over the last year, things have slowed down some but I am still staying off all meds.

I enjoy what mother nature is giving me and not don't worry about the future. If the "end" comes soon, it will probably manifest in diminished interest in going through the motions.

In which case I will be the old gentleman sitting on a park bench in the sunshine, smiling and tipping my hat at the young ladies that stroll by.

And, no, my name is not Acqualung... 😉😉

one does need to take care to be fit to enjoy more,  better sex is maturing to connect with respect and being a gentleman and with affection and equal attention to the other. it is more than bang and pop. I'm in my early 70's and with my ATF I have enjoyed sex more now than ever before. Our cuddling and kisses are truely satisfying.  Keep the body good and learn how to mature.

I'm having more sex with more lovely young women than ever and enjoying it immensely.  I do take care of myself, work out, lost some extra weight I'd accumulated and generally have very few aches and pains to complain about.  My back is straight and I walk tall.  Some younger women are not interested in dating a guy my age, but then again some truly are and prefer a guy my age, so it's all good.  Sexually I can't get off as easily as I used to, but that means I can last for ever if I want, so the trade off is quite acceptable.  I've been able to really surprise and impress a few very young women recently with my stamina and skills.  I never imagined I'd be having so much fun at this age!

I hardly ever saw a doctor, took meds, or entered a hospital until about mid-60s, when I was shocked by a series of maladies, including prostate cancer, A-Fib, a couple of others.  Now, 20 years later I take quite a few meds and am enjoying the hell out of the hobby.  My doc told me recently, "for a guy your age, you're in great shape.  There's a reason:  you're doing what we tell you -- another of my patients has similar problems to yours, hasn't taken his meds and now he's in rough shape.  Whatever else you're doing, keep doing it, and stay with your meds and exercise."  
We are all different, decline is inevitable, but we can influence what happens along the way to a good degree and continue to enjoy the good things in life, one of which is certainly the hobby.

I am not *quite* in as good shape as you are, and my hair has kinda taken the opposite road from yours ... still dark but there's not so much of it. Still, I'm in better shape than I was at 40, and actually feel better physically than I can ever remember feeling.

Changes happen, and we're going to age, but we've got choices as to how we age.

I have known 60plusers that still complete twice...where a 20something cannot.  One thing for sure with your attention to the craft of pleasing yourself and others, you are bound to improve with seasoning of time and experience.  There is a reason I am sought after as a mature provider...and resaons why we ladies love our older male friends.!  Enjoy the moment where you are now...don't take it for granted but do not fear the future!

I'm now 66. When I was in my 20's to 50's, I could hold off forever on coming and satisfy my wife. Now it's not a question of holding off. It's a question of coming at all. It takes more effort on the part of a provider to make me come than it would have 12-15 years ago.

Then there's ED. ED is usually caused by poor circulation in the penis, which is often caused by heavy drinking and smoking. There's a reason right there to not overdo things that are already bad for you. There's other reasons for ED, of course. Hopefully you won't have that problem.

There's going to be limitations on what you can do no matter how much you exercise. Parts won't move the way they used to, etc.

I just can't satisfy a woman with my penis as I used to, for a variety of reasons. So I've started to really concentrate on DATY and other things, and it seems to be working.  

I would do almost anything including murder to be in my 20's or 30's again. Make the most of this time of your life, as it ain't coming around again.

That's a line from an old rock hit fro the 70's. Wish I could remember the name of the band and the song.     I do remember that 27 was a very good age. That was 40 years ago. Things have really changed from  then but I'm not giving up. In fact .I have a date tonight with my current ATF.
