[QUOTE="Simbarn, post: 249049, member: 44021"] When I read your initial post, the first thing that came to my mind is that perhaps much of what you are experiencing is aging combined with a lifestyle that could be improved. When we are younger our bodies can deal with the not so good diet and lifestyle a lot better than after 40. That's not saying it won't cause us issues later on in life. Sexual function for most of us in our 40's is not going to be what it was in our 20's. Sorry to say this. The time it takes for you to get your erection back is going to be longer, the hardness of erection may not quite be the same, spontaneous erections may also be far less frequent if at all, ejaculate levels decline, the ability to have sex more than once in a night may be not as easy. This is not just because your T levels have declined a little from 20-40. Its because every cell in your body is now different to the ones you had 20 years ago. Improving your diet and other lifestyle concerns you have may make some reasonable improvement, but IMO, don't expect that it will turn the clock back to what you were describing, which appears to me to be a stud in their 20's! Some of us age biologically quicker than others, much of this is in our genes and of course your diet and lifestyle, how much stress you have experienced over 20 years also plays a substantial part in it also. Men reach their sexual peak at 18, after this it begins to decline, slowly. I wouldn't put to much credibility in the theory's that masturbation and porn are causing your issues. If you were watching it a number of times a day and also masturbating, then I would consider you might have a problem. I have known too many men in my life, being a gay male who watch porn regularly and have no sexual issues whatsoever. If you masturbate every night at the age of 40 and still expect your sexual sessions with your wife to be mind blowing and they are not, I feel its more to do with your sexual recovery taking longer than it used too. By not masturbating as often you will experience a build up of sexual tension that may heighten what you experience with your partner. Even in my twenties, I knew if I masturbated every day sometimes twice a day, my orgasms would start to feel less intense and I had less sexual drive. If I cut this down to a few of times a week, they would become very intense. The sexual chemistry in each of is different. Your SHBG is approaching the upper limit. This seems to happen to some of us as we age and or other health related reasons. Which means less free testosterone is available and could be partly responsible for some of your issues. You could try to lower this with supplements or investigating if you have any liver or thyroid issues. Even supplementing with Magnesium may help here. Apparently much of the population is low in this vital mineral. However, as you mention recently, some improvements in your diet, the approaching summer months and the ability to do some regular physical exercise may make a significant improvement. I would not be going down the TRT rabbit hole just yet! [/QUOTE]
