Like every organ of the body, the penis also has its own life cycle. This life cycle of the penis affects the sexual health of men. As a man grows older, say after 40-45 years of age, the libido decreases. A man's sexual stamina is at its peak around the age of 30.
You will notice two major changes in the appearance of the penis as you cross your 30s to your middle age and then to old age. As you grow older, the colour of the head of the penis will gradually change as a result of decreased inflow of blood towards the same. The production of testosterone, which is a male sex hormone decreases as a man grows older. This results in the loss of pubic hair. Even the penile shaft looks shorter than it actually is at an old age due to the accumulation of fat on the lower abdomen. As mentioned above, the penis looks shorter due to the above mentioned reason. However, the size of the penis actually reduces in length and girth as a man grows older. You cannot do much as it is part of the life cycle of the penis.
As time passes, the penis becomes less sensitive and does not respond properly to sexual stimuli. At this stage, a man will find difficulty in getting erections and achieving climax will be an uphill task. Sperm count and quality will also be low. As a penis approaches the fag end of its life cycle, a man will experience reduced libido.
However, a man can enjoy a healthy sex life even at this stage. A man needs to be aware of a few important things and follow some effective tips.
*Maintain personal hygiene
Wash your penis with soap everyday. Pull down the foreskin and wash the exposed area properly. You can even trim your pubic hair to keep the area clean. As the crotch is a region which is usually not exposed, this part of the body tends to produce more sweat and therefore becomes a suitable region for the growth of micro organisms. Never forget to wash your testicles too.
*Take care of your health
Generally, the life cycle of a penis is the same for every man. However, have you noticed men having very strong libido even at the age of 60 or 65? You might have even heard of men who suffer from sexual dysfunctions at a younger age, say 40-45.Have you ever pondered and asked yourself the reason behind this?It is simple. It all depends on how you maintain your health. Men suffering from heart diseases and diabetes usually suffer frompremature ejaculation and erectile dysfunctions. Therefore, the key to a better penis health is to maintain the overall body health.
*Medication
Always consult a doctor before you take any medicines. There are many pills that will help men in every stage of the life cycle of a penis. Proper knowledge of the penis and its life cycle will pave the way for a better sexual health for men
