Men of a certain age have a tendency to interpret even the slightest changes in the firmness and duration of their erections as a sure sign that they have embarked on the pathway to erectile dysfunction. For a handful of them, that may indeed be true. However, for the vast majority, the cause of such slight changes can be ascribed to such fleeting factors as stress, lack of sleep, anxiety, or a bit too much to drink.
It would be foolhardy to suggest that you could always have an erection as hard and firm as you did in your teens. As you age, you will almost invariably witness some subtle — and not so subtle — changes in your erection. However, if you adhere to a healthy lifestyle and avoid serious illness or injury, you should be able to get and keep an erection strong enough for intercourse for most, if not all, of your life.
ED More Common in Older Men
But, you argue, the rate of erectile dysfunction is so much higher among older men. And you’re right. In fact, a landmark University of Chicago study found that one-third of the men observed between the ages of 50 and 64 did indeed suffer from ED. That percentage increased to 44 percent among men between the ages of 65 to 85.
While those findings about the incidence of ED among older men may be disquieting, all that they really prove is that the longer you live, the more time you have to sabotage your own erectile health and function. While unavoidable illness or injury can create serious and even insuperable challenges to erectile function, the vast majority of erection problems are self-inflicted.
Lifestyle Plays Key Role
And even younger men may experience serious erection problems and develop full-blown erectile dysfunction. It has little to do with age but rather with the way you choose to live your life. If you refrain from smoking, eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, and otherwise adopt a healthy lifestyle, you’re likely to enjoy relatively strong erectile function for most of your life. If you feel that your erectile function has declined a bit more than you’d like, pelvic floor exercise can help to strengthen the muscles directly involved in both erectile and sexual function.
Certain changes in the quality and frequency of your erections are likely to occur as you age. Urologist Andrew Siegel, M.D., author of “Male Pelvic Fitness, Optimizing Sexual and Urinary Health,” a couple of years back offered some tips about the changes you might anticipate as you grow older. Dr. Siegel, co-founder of The Private Gym, a pelvic exercise program for men, provided this guide to subtle age-related changes in male sexual function, in a posting to his blog at PrivateGym.com.
Men 18-30 at Sexual Peak
Men between the ages of 18 and 30, writes Dr. Siegel, are at the peak of erectile function, often getting erections even when they don’t want them. They also get erections with little or no physical stimulation. Orgasm is intense for men in this age group, and the force of ejaculation can be somewhat spectacular. However, these young men are the group most likely to suffer from yet another common form of male sexual dysfunction, and that is premature ejaculation.
Men in their 30s usually continue to enjoy a robust sex drive, according to Dr. Siegel, but that sex drive is less likely to be as obsessive and all-consuming as it was in their late teens and early 20s. Most men in this 30s age group still get quality erections, but they may require just a bit more stimulation than was the case a few years earlier.
As men enter their 40s, some changes in overall sexual function become more obvious. The quality of erections remains fairly strong, but you may need to have a bit more physical stimulation to bring your erection to full strength. Sexual desire continues, but you’re less likely to regard sex with the same level of passion as you did in earlier years.

More Stimulation Needed
In the years between 50 and 60, most healthy men can still get serviceable erections, but they may find they need more physical stimulation to do so. There may also be a tendency to lose an erection before sexual activity is complete. Orgasms tend to be less intense, and sex, according to Dr. Siegel, “is no longer a sport, but a recreational activity, sometimes just reserved for the weekends.”
During your 60s, you should still be able to get an erection, but doing so may “require a good amount of coaxing and coercion,” writes Dr. Siegel. “They are less reliable, and at times your penis suffers with attention deficit disorder, unable to focus and losing its mojo prematurely, unable to complete the task at hand.”
Beginning at age 70, assuming you’re a typical male and haven’t taken extraordinary measures to preserve erectile function, you are likely to see a noticeable decline in the quality of your erections, says Dr. Siegel. From this age on through your 80s, this decline is likely to continue until at age 90 sex “is like trying to shoot pool with a rope,” to quote the late comedian George Burns.
Hope for Older Men
Yet even at these advanced ages, men interested in maintaining an active sex life need not abandon all hope. Pharmaceutical science has developed a line of oral medications that can make it possible to achieve an erection strong and lost-lasting enough for sexual intercourse. In other words, these medications pick up the slack in cases where the spirit is strong, but the flesh is weak. These drugs work by temporarily optimizing blood flow to the penis, thus making it easier for men to get and keep an erection.
