I am a healthy middle aged male monitored through yearly physical and random appointment hobby related checks.

My question is that within the past few months I have noticed a marked drop in ejaculate discharge amount and wonder if this is a reason for concern.

Everything else seems to be working properly except it does take much longer to reach the same orgasm as it did a year ago.

In your quickly approaching Doctorate level counseling experience is this a health concern, simply an age thing or is it possible to drain the plumbing to a trickle from too much use ?

Its always something.

Welcome to modern maturity, Its.always.something,

That's what happens and there's no reason for concern. None whatsoever. You're not "overusing" your penis unless you're in some kind of fertility program where you're forced to jack off in a cup 7 times a day; in fact, if you don't use it, you'll lose it, perhaps in the form of prostate trouble later on in life.

But of course you can't keep going like a 17 year old energizer bunny. Yes, it may take you longer to reach orgasm; yes, your volume of ejaculate may be reduced; and yes, you may not always get it up at a moment's notice.

My advice in this case: just keep doing what you're doing and enjoy the ride; however, if it's all about the load for you, then abstain for a week or so and watch those spermies fly out of their loaded cannon.

Thank you L.G. for your speedy and knowledgeable response. It was the answer that I was hoping to hear. The age thing is a bummer but true. Damn it goes by so quickly doesn't it.

Best of Luck on your journey toward your degree.

Now I'm down to a commuter line with no mid-day departures and frequent delays due to decaying tracks....

All aboard anyway,

I used to bring it like a freight train...now I'm just the little engine that could...

i think i can i think i can i think i can....

Protein drinks and meal replacements like slimfast also have been known to increase load volume. A lot of the guys in the adult film industry use it.

There is also an outpatient surgery to widen the penile canal, increasing urinary and ejaculate flow. I'm sure there is over the counter supplements as well although I've never heard whether they work or not.

Lastly, I think if it still feels good, why fix it.

Using the train analogy I think I was in a train wreck............ouch


Thank you
2009 = 27

but first a little background.  I'm turning 69 (what a great number) next month and my Internist is also 69.  We have know each other about 67 years and I even gave him a bloody nose after a snowball fight in Buffalo sometime around 1944 or 1945.
Anyway....after watching a great movie, I stopped to urinate and was standing next to a teenager who was pissing like Niagara Falls.  
I relayed this story and told my Doctor friend that it would be nice to be able to piss like a teenager again.  To my surprise, he replied that he wished he could fuck and cum like a teenage again.

So my friend....don't worry about the amount, just be happy that you can still produce.....

Get a urological checkup my man.  Age is one factor.  Just make sure there are no other factors in your case.
