At what age does your penis basically stop working?
Okay, this is probably not a question that a lot of guys here might want to answer, but it's actually the only place where I feel I would get a reliable answer. I'm doing some investment calculations, retirement planning etc, and I'm thinking "okay, this is all great, but in which years can I actually enjoy my youth? In which years can I actually enjoy a healthy and functionally correct body? In which years is my body basically useless and it doesn't really matter anymore?"
Is there any rule of thumb, or does it all depend on how well you take care of your health? Are there 70 year old men who don't need viagra to get a raging boner and plow a girl? 80 year old men? I can't really imagine a 90 year old....
All this is part of a bigger, grander question of how to live my life. Work hard, preserve my health, invest ALL my discretionary income and retire early (40 years old) and then party until I die? Or work mostly hard but also slack off to go after girls and have fun with my income now? These aren't questions that you guys can really answer for me, but the earlier questions you certainly can.

I've decided to play while saving for retirement. I know retirement will be pushed back a few years but I got to enjoy my youth. The last thing I'd want is to delay fun to save like crazy to retire and then get hit by a bus.
Plus the girls at the club I'm sure behave a little differently to guys that are closer to their age then they guy is to 50+. Enjoy that while it's still possible is my plan.
I have 4 close friends who come to mind which will even confuse you (and me) more.
Guy 1 - 37 years old, has to use Viagra probably 50% of the time. He did use some steroids in his college days, sometimes smokes when he drinks, drinks often, has an extremely high stress job (all supposedly factors in causing erectile dysfunction) but works out a lot and physically is in excellent shape.
Guy 2 - 40 years old, has to use Viagra is he wants to get a 2nd shot off during sex or when he is drinking. Lives a healthy lifestyle is in good shape for a 40 year old.
Guy 3 - 48 years old, could not get it up for sex until Viagra came along. Has used recreational drugs for years.
Guy 4 - 65 years old - can get it up with a stiff breeze, needs no help. Average shape for a 65 year old, could stand to lose 15 pounds.
Still, I think regular ejaculating, starting young and continuing through life, projects your prostate and your heart. And sex is great exercise. I think the social interactions, the calculating of how to get laid, are neural exercise and protect your brain.
So go for it now and forever.
My best friend ( college roommate, best man, etc.) drank too much and died of liver failure at age 57. Another good friend lived frugally, saved money so he could retire at age 57 with $2,000,000 and 6 months after retiring stroked out (his wife's enjoying it now,
My point is go for the gusto. I'm almost 72. I can get it up without meds even though I've had artheriosclerosis for 20 years ( 1 heart attack, 8 stents, quadruple bypass), have type2 diabetes, and take 11 prescription meds a day. However to get "steel rod hard" I need vitamin V. Lately I've been having trouble finishing which is disconcerting, but I honestly think it's tied to stress of taking care of my wife with Alzheimer's. Eat, drink, and make merry, for tomorrow we may die.
Nowadays I use no boner pills except a Zyrexin (non-prescription, $12 for 10 pills at Walmart) or a fraction of a Vitamin V for the second attempt in a given night.
My advice is to live a life of balance: work/play, alcohol, and sex should all be in the kind of balance that you can maintain for many decades. Save for retirement but also enjoy life; drink alcohol but not in excess; have sex regularly but selectively. As others have mentioned, it is sad to see someone work hard all his life, deny himself pleasures such as strippers and travel, and drop dead within months of retiring.
That being said, I plan on having sex as often as I can and so far am not having any problems. All depends on the girl for me.
As for Mr. Happy, he is still happy but not as happy as when he was 18. I can cum from a HJ ot BJ without the use of any ED drugs but FS requires 100mg of Viagra and a very willing partner.
I hit Follies at least twice a week. I don't know how many hard ons I have left me in me but a good hard on is a terrible thing to waste.
One would think the "use it or lose it" probably plays a role - if one is not getting sex on the regular then perhaps masturbation may be a good thing to keep it from atrophy - again it's probably best to educate yourself via legit sources.
For me - at 47 I don't have much issues - only every now and then either b/c I've been masturbating too-much; hitting the SC too-much, or when I got stuff on my mind worrying me.
Some of the variables at play can be
+ how much $$$ one makes - some people are able to spend a good-amount partying w/o it affecting their financial situation much
+ your ability to make $$$ - some people have a knack for always finding good paying jobs - if one is in a situation where it'd be a challenge to find another job if one loses their current-one, then one should be a bit more conservative w/ their spending
+ financial personality - I've hard that people innately fall into one of two broad categories - savers or risk-takers - if one is not a risk-taker then they may not be at ease just living for today and may not enjoy the SCing and/or spending most of their $$$ w/o it gnawing at them in the back of their minds
I'd say either put yourself in a position where you don't have to worry about your finances too-much (e.g. be really-good at what you do so you can make good-$$$ and keep-on making good-$$$ so you can play as much as you want; o/w be prudent and find a balance where you don't have to go w/o playing but that you are not running on fumes financially.
One also needs to keep in mind that time is something we can not get or buy more of - it's not as we could spend 60-years "doing it all right" (saving, working-hard, etc) and then we have a whole other "second life" or another 60 -years to enjoy ourselves - we don't have 2 lives to live (one where we work-hard and one where we just get to-do w/e we want) - one never knows what tomorrow may bring and if one will have the health or desire to do everything they put off (if one is even around).
There's no guarantee one will be able to do tomorrow what one didn't do today - as an older man once told me "life is for living" (and we don't get a second one) - I at times think when I'm 80 y/o ( assuming I make it there), will I look-back and feel good about all the $$$ I saved by not doing stuff or will I feel good about the things I experienced and how many hot-women I was able to enjoy; I assume the latter one will be a more pleasant thought.
It doesn't have to be all or nothing in terms of play or no-play/saving - perhaps is prudent to do some of each (play and save) and adjust according to your financial situation - probably best to be prudent for now(play and save) till you have figured it out or have a clearer picture.
I was super horny as a teenager but couldn't do much about it.
Things stay pretty good but can start declining in their 30's.
In the 40's, you need to exercise and stay in shape or things go downhill faster. You do get improvement if you lose weight and drink pomegranate juice which I stopped temporarily because it was either bad or causing some kind of weird laxative effect. I read it can remove placque from the arteries.

This news can also help prevent stroke and heart attack and prolong people's lives in my opinion. Of course the big drug companies will never promote something that is natural unless they can invent a drug that does the same thing or better and make money off of it. I read and heard some strength training helps boost testerone as you age helping keep weight lower as well and also improves the decline many men have. As far as the 50's , 60's , I hope things don't get worse.
I'm getting a lot more boners in the morning for some reason but not at the strip club.
I woke up yesterday morning with a dream that I was staying at a hotel at the beach but 3 college age girls got double booked in my room. We shared. Had sex , then they put on bikinis and laid out on the beach before retuning for more sex with the guy who was already with them. Last night while waiting for food, I had 3 college age girls approach me. One took a big bite out of my wiener and another hot girl took selfies with me. Maybe I'm dreaming about the future. :)
I read that both women and men can have heart attacks in their 30's and start getting clogged arteries in their 20's. One of the number one killers in the US.

Much of the issue seems to be psychological. Though perfectly normal, and not wanting to trivialize it, if things work sometimes, like upon first waking up, but not other times, hard to see it as other than psychological.
But then, health after age 50 depends upon habits. Diet and exercise. High blood sugar causes serious problems and generally means pre diabetes or diabetes. Most of the people who have diabetes do not know it. It is just the sorts of food we are accustomed to. And caffeine seems to add to it, on top of the sugar.
People use caffeine and sugar to regulate their energy levels. But quickly this just takes and no longer gives. It is nuts.
How much of this is reversible? Hard to say, but worth it to try. Otherwise it will not be just ED, it will be all sorts of other health problems.

What's the brilliant way for the penis to stop working? Simple, I'll die with an erection and enjoying a 19 year old redhead. The penis will stop working when rigor ends! ;)

Take it as a warning sign and modify your diet and lifestyle.
"A recent study has shown that aggressive intervention with diet and exercise improves ED..."
Enjoy it while you can, but it's still smart to set some money aside for a rainy day/retirement. I liked a lot of what Papi said.
Well I read this year is the 100 anniversary of the so called visions in Fatima in Portugal. I'm thinking it won't be May 13th. Probably not mid summer. Supposedly something is supposed to happen around Sept 23 give or take a couple days. Some even think the rapture but I heard the same last year. I figure either you guys will say I disappeared and aliens came to take me away. (Rapture event). Or maybe 3 days of darkness and I get made young again and have to do my part with millions of hot girls. I will need to be young again to have a chance if most of the population is female. Forget all that sperm stuff. Most of the doctors I think are men and medical instruments may get destroyed when the demons take away industrial waste and all the trash. Hey, this plan sounds more believable than all the stupid terrorists thinking they are going to have a bunch of virgins when they die.
As far as the rapture getting explained as alien abductions, I believe that could happen. JPL included the names of all Planetary Society members on a chip that landed with the first Rover mission to Mars. If aliens investigate and think someone invaded their property and then find the names, they may take us all in for questioning and vaporize everyone else. Fortunately, there are dozens of people with my name. It will be like "Are you Sarah Conner?" Boom. Then are you Sarah Conner? Boom. Just kidding. I think the aliens are smarter than the Terminator. They will scan the address database and find out where everyone lives.
One story I read supposedly had Jesus as an alien. It could all fit together. The rapture could happen and be a massive alien abduction. Jesus might be up there in a spaceship. The 3 days of darkness story sounded better though. I heard one version that said some might sleep through the whole thing. I think that could be me. I sleep for 3 days because it's dark outside and then wake up and find out it wasn't a dream and I'm 18 again.
