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.
