Greetings..

I enjoy the topics covered on this board. Very informative they are.

Well...here's my concern. Been noticing alot of questions about male masturbation. What I'd like to know is, how much is too much..??

I'm 38, in good physical shape and enjoy becoming "one" w/ my wife. We have a very healthy sex life and have sex at least 5-7 times per week. I have noticed that my penis has for some reason gotton alittle soft and the "refraction" period is longer after ejaculation. I'm not sure if we should scale back as it is very diificult once we're together...When I'm on the road for work, I do masturbate...

I just don't want to be at a "burn-out" point where I'm totaly impotent in the future....

I do follow a healthy diet and exercise as my EURO suggested. He did memtion that anytime you can get blood-flow into your penis , it's always a plus. But, if you "do-it" alot, it can be harmful.....

Any thoughts and comments are appreciated.

Regards,

I'm old enough to be your father and although I certainly don't have sex as often as you do,my wife and I are able to satisfy our desires very well so I don't see any problem with the frequency that you are mantaining whether it be intercouse or masturbating-- just enjoy!!

I applaud you. I think it is terrific that you are able to keep up with that level of frequency for sex, and still able to masturbate. if it ain't broke....

It is normal to have a longer refractory period as we age and to lose some stiffness though, at 38, I would not expect too much loss of stiffness or a refratory period of longer than 30 mintues or so. Everyone is different, of course. There is a chance of the softness being related to a health problem like heart disease, but I assume you have been seeing a doctor and the softness is purely related to age.

Having sex 5 to 7 times a week at your age is higher than average, but sex in marriage is good and the love and exercise is very healthy for you. Keep it up.
