I am a 52 yr. old women with a very active sexual libido. I need to have sex more than once a week. I love him very much so I have tried to be understanding of this... but I also have needs that have to be met. Is it true that when a man of his age has sex that it takes him another week to be able to become aroused again and be able to release his sperm? Or is just a big bul l#@%* story.??? Has any man out there OVER 55 have any experience with this situation and if so..how have you handled this problem?

Each man "recovers" at a different rate. There's no rule about this.
Is he taking any kind of medication? That could play a part here as well.

It's totally not B.S. As men age, they have hormone levels that drop, many of these hormones are sexually related--DHEA, Testosterone, Adrenaline. Also, if they're overweight or have high blood pressure, high cholesterol it's harder as well.
Feel lucky that you're getting it once a week. My 35 yr old boyfriend is "interested" in me about once every three months!
Some things you can do to help your man out:
Feed him the most healthy diet you can, whole grains, not a lot of red meat, salads, vegetables, cut the sugar.
Exercise together. Get the blood pumping throughout the body and maybe it'll be easier to get it to a certain member...
Don't underestimate the power of a cute little nightie.
Have him take a good multivitamin, especially with zinc. Every time a man ejaculates he loses a fair amount of zinc.
Good luck!

Perfectly true!! Except don't believe the Viagra myth. Viagra might improve the erection itself - provided he gets an erection to begin with - but Viagra will not take a limp dick & MAKE it hard. and Viagra does NOT increase the libido of a man or increase his hormonal level.
Men after 40 go through a real CHANGE OF LIFE, ANDROPAUSE, and loss of libido is just the tip of the iceberg. The electricity which powers the erection response & orgasm diminishes. the brain chemicals which create sexual urges lessen. Output of semen gets less, it doesn't shoot out like before. And orgasm when it happens - is NOWHERE as intense or pleasureable as in teenage years. Mental stimuli don't do what they used to do. And Viagra is not a panacea or quick fix to this problem. hardening of the arteries weakens his erections also.
After my thirties, I NEVER wake up with hardons & never get hard from any thought, or words & I accept it. Loss of libido is PROGRAMMED into men as they age. it's God's way of telling you : "Cut it out & get into other things." " the Lord giveth &the Lord taketh away."
You are a mismatch. You need a younger stud - if you want it more. that's life. it's not his fault.

I think your sexual urge is much more than his as he had
explained that he can perform well once a week. Depending on
each individual's health, age and sexual needs, it's true that
your man needs few days for 'recharging'.
However, if he takes too long to 'reload', I suggest that you
find another man who is much active and younger in age to
satisfy and fulfil your frequent sexual needs.
Good luck!

I think there can be some delay, but if i were him, I would take viagra or cialis to help please the woman I love.
Pysically not nessessary to wait a week, I am 40 daily is still good for me. I would hope at 57 it would be much different.
I think health has a lot to do with it. poor health worse circulation poor recovery. better health better ciculation quicker recovery

I can tell you as a man there is some truth to this. I'm only 33, and if I want to have good sex, I even need a couple days to recharge.

I'm 57 and my limit is twice a day. It used to be 3 to 5 times unless I tried for more. I'm certainly slowing down. I believe him.

It does depend on his physical condition. But as men age they can be less interested in having sex every day. I hope you can find a way to give him a break.
