Ageing and sexual decline - be prepared...(part 1)

ruscular: I wear hearing aids and when I walk near the huge powerline it renders my hearing aid useless until I am far enough away from them. Same for those microwave dish. I had a friend that lived near them and I couldn't stand being there cause I couldn't hear him. Well that convince him to get a new rental. His health improve considerable. There has got to be a special case in court base on this. Most of the time when a company install them they get the neighborhood to sign a release form to waived them of all health related resposibilty of putting in one in your area, and a cash offer.
I would look into this, maybe contact a lawyer.

OPC is a supplement base on anti-aging and getting rid of free radical in your body more efficiently for the over 30 year old baby boomer. Its been first use in europe widely with great result. Now its begining to be really popular with the older bodybuilder. HGH percursor supplement have secretogue that helps your own body to pruduce its own human growth hormones. Also becoming popular for the older bodybuilder.

Market America company was the first that hook me up with the stuff. Its costing me a little over $100 for one month supply of the HGH percursor supplement. But there are others out there.

PINNACLE makes a really good product called Alpha Dopa Growth Poppers for the HGH percursor type supplement.

OPC is found inside of grape seed extract (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins) NATURE'S WAY make a really good ANTI-OXIDANT of A,C,E,Selenium,Co-Q10,Green tea and grape seed extract. all in one tablets. Although I am taking straight very high dosage of grape seed extract, and green tea extract. And you can find them almost anywhere in any health food, or the GNC stores.

tomarctus: My experience is different but it distresses me too. I noticed a strong decline in arousal last year around my 47th birthday. I, too, had been experiencing stress with my work for about 2 years prior. I have also been hiv-positive since about 1980 and on medications since 1990. I always get my testosterone and thyroid levels checked and take hormone replacement therapy.
In addition to the low arousal I noticed weak erections. Eventually I went through the battery of tests and it did turn out I had no nocturnal erections. My docs boosted my testosterone and that helped. My urologist suggested Viagra but it does nothing for me. I'm not sure Caverject, Muse or Tri-mix would be any better. Beside, a hard on without arousal is'ne fun at all.
Then my life entered high stress mode. My partner decided he wanted to be single again the weekend after our 10th anniversary. We had an open relationship so no affair was involved. I didn't even see this coming so I was in a state of shock. We lived together, and slept in the same bed, for the next 5 months while working out the separation, finally moving to our own respective places in January this year.
I naturally suffered from strong depression and worked on it aggressively in therapy. The antidepressants, however, can reduce sex drive, alas.
As soon as I moved I got seroiusly ill for 4 months and couldn't work. Finally colon cancer was ruled out but it was frightening. Sadly, because of this illness, I went through all the money from the sale of our house.
I eventually recovered enough to finish my last project at work. In October I finished it. The next step was closing my shop after 24 years and suspending my 29 year career. Since then, at the advice of my doctors, I have applied for disability. They hope a period of disability will help me recover from all these major life changes.
My health is fair but, as with many long-term aids survivors, compromised at times. Right now I have peripheral neurpathy in my legs and arms. I first noticed the symptoms in April but it could have been in the works long before. This condition affects the nerves and can contribute to erectile dysfunction.
Right now I do have successful erections and ejaculation but not as often as I wish. I can't get hard at will any more :( . Gosh, how I wish I could do that! I still have a low sex drive. I've tried to have sex with another guy 3 times in the last year and couldn't stay hard or cum.
I accept, finally, that my life has had major stressors that contribute to this: hiv, closing a business, ending a career, ending a long realtionship, moving. Yet I am so stubborn I still sometimes think I can will or wish it away. Most of the time I am able to accept it for what it is.
My hope is that after a time of rest and recovery my sexual health will improve. I know of men in their 80's who are active and I hate the thought of losing it at 48. I still have enjoyable sexual thoughts, it's my body that refuses to join in. Beside's, I'm still good looking and a nice guy.
By the way, I always play safe.

Your experience sounds a bit extreme.

At some point in my mid to late 40s I experienced a decline in sexual drive. Normal for me was 3 - 5 times a week and sometimes twice in the same day. That was down from my late 20s.

In any case I was concerned and spoke to my urologist. Because of kidney stones I had a urologist. When I explained my situation, he listened patiently and discussed several things. His conclusion was stress. Probably job related. He also had several patients of a large employer in the area and indicated they had similar problems, stress related. Some time later (don’t remember how long) things got better.

Once I had a testosterone injection. That did not make any difference. A testosterone test was performed and it was slightly on the low side of normal, but within range. I don’t remember the numbers.

One of the things the urologist suggested - the concern for my concerns could be contributing to my problem. Thoughts of failure tend to be self fulfilling. I don’t know how I over came it,

A couple of years ago, my wife and I got away for a week. Great nightly sex. Since then, she has been content with sex on a much less frequent basis. A couple of times a week I wake up with significant erections. They are not “raging” but not far from it. My problem – getting my wife interested. I figure I’m good for at least 3 - 4 times a week but don’t get the opportunity.

At 62, maybe my wife is trying to preserve me? I don’t know. She is just behind me.

Alcohol has not been a part of my life. I’m in average shape and need to exercise. Several years ago, I did exercise vigorously. My wife complained and suggested I should move furniture around the house instead of exercising.

I think the most significant thing from my discussions – anticipation and self concern. The urologist also mentioned depression can have a significant influence.

Your spontaneous erections in your earlier years were quite consistent with mine then.

Good luck!

Above written before reading about the microwaves. Don’t get me started about them. Use your favorite search engine for cell phone radiation and microwave radiation.

At the extreme end of the radiation issue - I worked with some folks from the Korean war that worked around very high power radar. On occasion they would pulse the unit when birds were sitting on lines many feet away in front of the antenna. According to them the birds would drop dead after the pulse.

In the US the ABC television network wanted to do a story on the effects of cell phone radiation. They could NOT find any company in the US that would perform tests. They had to go to Europe for the tests. There were effects measured.

Search the net for more information.

For starters, this may help -

anonymous_pole: I have many points I'd like to touch on regarding this, but I'll have to keep this brief for the time being. This may be a difficult read since I can't see through the tears and I'm not familiar enough with the keyboard to type when I can't see it. Reading your experience refueled the pain I've been blocking out for the last couple years. Your first 2 posts in this thread describe my recent life nearly word for word. The only notable differences are my age(29), the fact that I haven't the means to visit a doctor,and I am alone... so at least my problem isn't dragging someone else down with me. The main purpose for me replying right now is to communicate what I believe to be the root of my problem...as it could possibly be a major factor with you, too. I have been severely sleep-deprived for about 10 years now and it has taken a major toll on my entire life. My thought processes are extremely messed up...for an example, all you have to do is look at how poorly this(or any other post I've made here) is written...quite ridiculous with an IQ of 163. Anyway, since you have been waking up so much through the night, you are undoubtedly sleep-deprived to some extent and that screws up your entire system.Whatever you do,get some sleep...it may quite possibly save your (sex)LIFE. I guess Allie summed it up best when she said "MOVE! NOW!!"
