Hormonal Changes Over Time
One of the most significant changes in male aging involves testosterone levels. Testosterone naturally begins to decline slowly after the age of 30, usually at a rate of about 1% per year.
What this may affect:
Slight reduction in libido
Decreased muscle mass
Increased body fat
Lower energy levels
Longer recovery time after sexual activity
This decline is gradual and normal. Many men maintain healthy testosterone levels well into later life, especially with good nutrition, exercise, and sleep.
Changes in Erections and Sexual Response
With age, erections may:
Take longer to achieve
Be less firm than in younger years
