RE:Edging over 60 and PSA results

I cannot find it now, but someone was talking of a lack of interest in sex by your partner. I believe that if you satisfy your partner, they will usually want sex. My late wife and I had 53 years of marriage and I was always able to satisfy her. I recently met a man on here who no longer had sex with his wife, because she had had double mastectomy. So, I told him what to do and they are having sex again. Usually if you will meet their needs first, they will want to have sex.

RE:Edging over 60 and PSA results

I sent a response earlier but my connection dropped out, doesn't look to have saved & sent. This site can be bloody frustrating. Anyway, I had limited understanding of lots of information about this topic, thank you to all for explaining & sharing their experiences.

My late wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in November 2019, just after she turned 56, for the next 15 months she was alive no sex and I did not care, she needed to be looked after. Prior to that it had been a couple of months, she was going through menopause and had not been interested for a couple of years. I don't recall having a PSA test at all at that time so have no idea of the number.

In the year after she died, I had some blood tests and my PSA was higher than the normal level but was nothing to be worried about the DR said. They gave no advice about masturbation helping or edging or anything like that, just something to keep an eye on. I had a mad fling with a woman who was after sex a little while after that, she was very keen for it and so was I so I'm guessing that dropped my PSA to normal. The fling was a fling, lasted a couple of month, went longer than it should but was never going to last, I had no feelings for her.

A little while after I met someone else, she had lost her husband to cancer before I lost my wife and ironically those two knew each other (the two who had died) but Nicky & I had never met. We had a lunch catch up to talk around 2 years after my wife and we gradually met more often, we just clicked. It was a little while till we had sex but it has been great since then. She too is now in menopause but still enjoys sex, albeit less often. So the advice of others will be put to good use, thank you for all for sharing their experiences.

RE:Edging over 60 and PSA results

This has been a worry for me for years. A friend here had his prostate removed and after the surgery he lost two inches of length and was a process to get an erection again. Its something men have to be aware of as we get older. Women worry about breast cancer, but we have to worry about prostate cancer.

I started to think about this and started an exercise routine with my prostate. While I was in the massage chair just getting my back massaged I thought about this. I found that I could do about three different exercises around the area of my prostate. Plus masturbating is fun yet. So am I thinking correctly because I am not a a doctor and dont play one on tv.

Hey Jim: Im not a doctor either (and dont play one on TV) but Ive been reading articles from various studies done by reputable universities that, since the prostate creates the semen that carries the sperm, we (men) need to keep our prostate working - and the best way to do that is by exercising it. They have recommended that men ejaculate from 27 times/month for a young 20-35) man to about 10 or more times/month for 50+ year old men. I know these numbers arent exactly right but you get the idea - exercising it by keeping it working may be the best way to avoid prostate problems down the road. Sounds like a win-win to me!

Yeah I think youre correct

So thats what I was wondering on the exercises that I have been doing. It feels like when my penis is shooting as I have an orgasm. Plus flexing my Anal muscles. Because the prostate is in that location. Which also brings up another question. And that is the prostate massaging dildos? I wonder if those would work also to exercise the prostate
