Naturally, Mr. P Will Shrinking

It's no secret that a man's sexual function declines with age. When testosterone levels begin to decline, a man takes longer to reach sexual arousal. Although already aroused, he needed more time to erection and achieve orgasm. After orgasm, she also takes longer attempts to get aroused and orgasm again.

According to experts, the age factor was also influential in determining the volume of semen and sperm quality of a man. Impotence or erectile dysfunction is also associated with older age; ie it can occur at age 40 to 70. One study showed, the Adam's masculinity may decline 60 to 30 percent.

Another bad news, the men also will decline naturally in terms of urinary function. Research shows that the flow of urine will become weaker, which is a consequence of the weakening of the muscles of the bladder and prostate enlargement.

And, that alone is not enough. Recent research states that the size and shape of the penis will experience significant changes when a man begins to move from the top of her sexuality (30s) to middle age and old age. Here are four changes that occur naturally in the penis men with age:

1. Appearance

According to Irwin Goldstein, MD, director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego who is also Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Sexual Medicine, there are two major changes that will occur to Mr. P. Head of the penis (glans) regularly will lose keunguannya color, which is a sign of reduced blood flow started. In addition, there will be a pubic hair loss slowly.

2. Penis size

Weight gain is common when he grew older. When fat collects in the lower abdomen, penis size appearance will change. "A lot of fat deposits on the prepubis make the penis look shorter shaft," said Ira Sharlip, MD, professor of clinical urology at the University of California, San Francisco.

"In some cases, fat deposits in the abdomen makes the penis buried. One way to motivate overweight patients is by telling them that penis size can be increased again up to an inch with a simple, namely to cut weight," said Ronald Tamler, MD, PhD, Co-Director of Men's Health Program at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York City.

In addition to shrinkage of the side view (its reversible), the penis is also likely to be experienced shrinkage of the size of the actual (irreversible). This shrinkage, both in terms of thickness-penjang or will not happen dramatically, but it looks real. "If a man measuring 6 inches when erect when at the age of 30, may be changed to 5 or 5.5 inches when he stepped on the age of 60 or 70's," said Goldstein.

What makes the penis shrink? There are two things that are the cause. The first is due to deposition of fatty substances (plaques) in the penile blood vessels, which affects blood flow to the vital organs. This process is called atherosclerosis, a similar mechanism that causes blockages in coronary arteries-that trigger heart attacks.

The second cause is the accumulation of inelastic collagen (scar tissue) slowly in the fibrous sheath that lines the chambers erection (erection chambers). Erection itself there type these chambers filled with blood flow. Blockages in the arteries and increasing the penis-is-no elastic chambers will make less and less maximal erection.

As well as changing the size of the penis, the testicles are also experiencing the same thing. "Starting at about age 40, the testicles will begin to shrink," says Goldstein. Testicular 30-year-old man may have a diameter of 3 cm in size, while men aged 60 may be only about 2 cm.

3. Curve

If the scar tissue in the penis accumulated unevenly, it can be curved penis. This condition is known as Peyronie's disease, which often affects men in middle age. This disorder can cause painful erections and make intercourse difficult. To overcome these problems, surgery is usually required.

4. Sensitivity

Some research indicates that the penis over time will become less sensitive. This will make a man achieve an erection or orgasm. However, whether this will also reduce the enjoyment of intercourse would still debated.

Not an obstacle in enjoying sex

If indeed all these things be experienced by you, experts believe the decline in function or shape changes in vital organs do not need to make your sex life to be disturbed.

A recent study involving 2213 men in Olmstead County, Minnesota, shows that respondents experienced a decrease in erectile function, libido, and ejaculatory function. However, in terms of sexual satisfaction, the decline was not too dominant alias is still moderate.

"The most important thing in achieving a satisfying sex life is the ability to satisfy your partner, and it does not require sexual ability at the top level or a large penis," said Goldstein.
