The Erection Scale

Stan also reminded me that once in a while I should include more than just the "young studs" in my posts.

While all the youngsters are lovely to look at, sometimes we need a reminder that we men may get older but we don't lose our interest in sexual things.

5

What does happen is that our Testosterone levels begin to wane in our mid-to-late forties. Then blood flow to the genitals diminishes, resulting in boners that no longer quite measure up on the Erection Scale.

As the commercials for Cialis state, "Oftentimes erectile dysfunction can be a matter of blood flow."

But, there are things we can do to stave off, or at least minimize, the effects of aging on our man parts

Kegels. You should begin doing Kegel exercises. Do them every day. This will strengthen the penile anchoring tendons and suspensory ligaments.

Exercise, and healthy diet, of course. But, the old adage "If you don't use it, you lose it" is spot on. Once the hormone rush of our teen years has left, we continue to get spontaneous boners. But, our minds become preoccupied with work and family life and we don't pay much attention to them. Those semi-hard spontaneous erections are still doing their job of supplying the spongeosum tissues with oxygen-rich blood, but they don't fill out as hard.

You can do your future self a favor, though, by deliberately working up a good, solid, raging hard-on at least twice per day - every day to supplement the nighttime boners.

Masturbating helps keep your cock in good health, whether you ejaculate

Another Reader Request

Our second question comes from Faithful Reader Stan in reference to my post about Tantra Yoga and that boners are not only welcomed, but encouraged: "All very well and good for  most people. But what about older men that for one reason or other can no longer get an erection? Can they sill participate?"

2

My response was: "Of course older guys are welcome. I'll be 64 come October, and there are four other guys in their late 50's (at least), and one in his 70's. Erections aren't a necessity. One need not feel that he MUST get a hard-on; some of the men in our classes don't.

That's part of what I truly enjoy about this. If you get a boner, wonderful; if you don't, it's not a big deal. Quite the reversal of the typical naked yoga classes wherein the FAQs always make some sort of statement like, "if you get a boner, it's no big deal.""

But, the other thing that makes it possible for older men to participate is that not all poses are strenuous.

Additionally, you should always tell your Yogi before class begins of any physical limitations or medical conditions you have. My instructor knows of my M.D., and he keeps a very close watch over me during classes.

I know several of you readers out there do yoga, and practice Tantra.

Let Stan hear about your experience(s).

Reader Has Questions for You

So, two requests for topics in two days. I love it! Let's address the first one that came in, first. I'm oh so full of intelligence today, aren't I? LOL.

2

Longtime Faithful Reader, Wayne, writes:  "...please ask your male readers who shave/trim their pubic hair why they do it.  I had never even thought of such until the internet came along."

3

My personal grooming is to shave the scrotum and shaft, and trim the rest.

4

I do this because I find there is much less itching of the ballsac - not to mention the added sensitivity of having a tongue licking it.

Hair on the shaft can be quite irritating to vaginal walls. I trim the rest simply because I think it gives me a neater appearance. All personal preference.

5

It may stem from my dancing days. Of course, my crotch shaving went much, much further than that back then  - company rules were company rules: "No body hair, and no hair may be seen protruding from the dance strap." If you wanted to stay employed, you shaved.

6

7

And you, or the company manager, helped you and your fellow dancers for areas we couldn't do ourselves.

8

He also asked: "Recently I attended an open house at a family nudist park, & this time I particularly noticed it,  tho I've been a couple of times before.  There were a couple of men with rings in the ends of their dicks.  How do you pee with such?  Do you take it out?  Doesn't it hurt to pierce such a tender area?"

9

I don't have any piercings on my cock, or scrotum. So, I can't speak to this, other than to say, I'm sure it hurts like hell to have the Prince Albert done. I mean, a hole is being reamed into the cock. How does one manage to piss and not spray everything?

10

11

I mean, it's bad enough that the stream will split on its own sometimes. (Yes, Ladies, it happens. Now you know why we miss the bowl once in a while.)

12

So, let's hear from you, men.

Do you have a PA, or any cock or ballsac piercings?

13

14

Do you shave, or trim?

Whatever your chosen activity of the day, I hope it's a good one, and you can spend it at least partially naked.

Happy Tuesday!
