This  will lead to decrease in the time they spend in romancing and setting up  the mood for intimacy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li> The penis size shrinks as men age and this will lead them to worry about their performance and cause performance anxiety.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li> Older men are more prone to suffer from prostrate cancer, high blood  pressure, complications from diabetes, arthritis etc, which can all lead  to erectile dysfunction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li> As men age their physical strength and stamina wanes, which makes vigorous lovemaking that much more difficult.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li> Older men use medications like antidepressants, beta blockers and diuretics which all effect sexuality in one way or another.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li> Men tend to compare the sexual performance of their youth to how they  perform much later in life, this comparison will inevitably cause stress  and depression and lead to them not being satisfied with their sex  life.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The good news is that with the right counseling and medication most men  can enjoy a healthy sexual life till very late in their lives.
