I also know diabeties can be comtrol and even Diabeties 1 can be totally eliminated with proper diet and exercise.....but guys won't do that!


Another great example of why POF Forums is not the place to get Medical Advice.
A quick google will tell you :

 Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, and was previously known as juvenile diabetes. In type 1 diabetes, the body does not produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is
needed to convert sugar (glucose), starches and other food into energy needed for daily life.


At the moment there is NO CURE. Stem Cell research may lead to one. So if the OP would share HOW Type 1 diabetes can be "totally eliminated" , I am sure the folks who hand out Nobel Prizes for Medicine will be in contact with her.
Check your facts before ranting OP. You might appear less foolish.

Since starting to date approx. 3 years ago after a divorce from a 25+ year marriage with a monogamous husband, I have dated mostly older men (62, 64, 71). These were impotent. However, that didn't deter them from fu*king around on me, or better said, TRYING to f*ck around on me. I don't know that they were actually able to do the deed, but the point is that they were in bed with another woman/women engaged in intimate sexual activity, although perhaps they couldn't consummate intercourse.

There was a 47-year-old who was also impotent. Now the 52 year-old is impotent as well. Only the 57-year-old could actually have normal intercourse.

I can't believe that this keeps happening to me. I think I must be wearing some sort of sign that only they dan see saying: "Welcome, ye impotent men!"

Happy belated Birthday!!!

Well, heres my lil scoop I am only 33 and hitting the same wall...the last ones I was with or talked to were 43, 39 and 35...and they ALL had problems either getting it up often enough for my personal likes(I think once a day is much better than once a week or every two weeks....omg can anyone say DEPRIVED!) I am a very caring open big hearted person but, I am sick and tired of sex NOT being a big part of the relationship....because at my age and with my drive IT IS! and maybe I have a super drive because there are times I could go on for hours! then there are days when a quikie is perfect...but...just not EVERY day...I am a very sexual person when I get to that point with someone and I NEED sex alot more now than I ever did...is this a cruel joke to men? I mean...why is it when women are in their sexual prime that men are just beggining to and slowing down? wtf?! That is sooooo frustrating! and personally I dont want to go for a younger guy because they are too immature to be in a relationship! Besides I am done makin' babies. I feel for ya grl but...y'know I feel for the guys too...but, I do feel they should be honest about their problems and open...so many more women appreciate that than anything...besides communications IS KEY in any relationship!

I think that this issue is fairly common and not talked about much because guys are so sensitive to it. But from what I have heard, a very high percentage of men who do not
have good health become impotent. It`s like the first thing that goes physically.
I mean if they are diabetic, heavy, High blood pressure, heavy drinker or smoker, after 50, it is almost a given. The guys that stay thin and keep to a healthier lifestyle seem to not have as many problems. its kind of sad actually. For us gals, even if we do get heavy or have these same issues it doesn`t grow shut on us. but man, for older guys, they really have to stay ultra vigilant or it plain quits working. Maybe it is a natural safeguard that older men that aren`t physically up to it,don`t reproduce, you know natural selection of the fittest. That would make sense.

I know that sometimes guys can do their best on lifestyle and something still happens
that they can`t function, but for a lot of them it is lifestyle related. Must suck to be a guy sometimes.

I'll admit it. I've been sexually dysfuctional... But only with women I wasn't really into, or who turned out to be less active in bed than I would imagine a blowup doll to be. If a man is not able to perform with you; but you catch them cheating, I'm sure it's as much a blow to the ego, as to the heart.

LDYnBLK ( OP )

Having been in a 2 and 1/2 year relationship with a man five years younger than me, who had ED and NO sexual drive whatsover.......I researched and studied all I could on this subject. I joined all kinds of sites and support groups, hoping to find an answer to this dilemma.

What I learned is basically what many posters on here have said already. My guy was on high blood pressure meds, smoked, drank and had no interest in fixing the "problem". I eventually had to end it because being in a relationship with no sex was not acceptable to me. His lack of sexual interest in me was not only affecting my self-confidence, but also my "need" to be in an intimate, truly loving relationship.

To this very day, after breaking up over two years ago, I still think of him and I can only hope he has sought medical help to "fix" his problem. I used to think it was mine, but I learned over the years, that it was always his.

Too sad....

Don`t worry, alot of times they don`t want to adress their lifestyle issues and know that they are bringing it on themselves so they tend to tell the woman that she isn`t turning them on, to save their own ego. Since one guy did that to me, I watch what they are all about. No heavy drinkers, smoker, heavy guys. I want a love life, and at this age if they don`t take care of themselves , there won`t be one. Guaranteed.

OK, I admit it..."Most" of us Old Farts (I'm 58) have "ED" from time to time. IT was kind of funny (Boo HoooOOOoooo...) when things started going South (Pun Intended!) so I did what all you ladies are doing to figure us guys out. (Have you looked in the mirror, btw?) Here's what I found and it makes TOTAL sense to me. First, I agree...Being healthy HELPS....immensely! Our diets, processed foods, clogged arteries (can anyone guess where the tiniest veins in a man's body are...Or, vagina or clitoris???) weight gains and high blood pressure all contribute to ED...Duh! Who doesn't know that? I have a friend who is a walking hard-on but he is also a tri-athlete, has about 4-5% body fat, eats 'gruel' and low fat, low processed, high protein foods, etc. He's 58 and still "growing" strong...Yes, pun intended again!

OK, back to what I found so this is the answer and all is good.

Think! Let's pretend it is 1000 years ago. What was the average life expectancy of a man in those days...Too long ago??? OK, let's do 100 years ago, about 1900, let's say...Before McDonald's, Burger King and especially the finely processed foods we call FLOUR, White bread, dinner rolls etc, and all the rest...Before Wonder Bread too! OK, physiologically, in the true realm of things, our bodies have not "advanced" too much in 1000 years! That's not that long ago, if you think about it. We have not yet evolved that far "Physically." Yes, we've extended life expectancies another 20-30 years from even 100 years ago, with modern medicine, etc...But, in "Mother Nature's" eyes, we're all basically the same! Women are fertile into their 40's and 50's and then go through the dreaded menopause, etc. Men are fertile too. 500-100 years ago, however, most men were DEAD by the time they were in their 30's and 40's. The "Mating Game" was for the YOUNG MEN in the tribe, or the 15-30ish year olds and the rest were pretty much put out to pasture, or, well.........DEAD! Of course, the 15 year olds got the crap beat out of them walking around with instant hard-ons from the more dominant 20 something year olds, and up, Alpha Males, just like lions in a pride...Or Elk! Catching on??? So, the 40-50 year olds, if there were any left in the "tribe," were too weak to fight even the 15-20 year olds, but so what...The ran out of Viagra so were out of the running anyway, and probably on their way to their death beds anyway. So, the fertile ones ruled, and the women stayed "fertile" so the tribe grew and grew until they themselves were ready for pasture in their 40's and early 50's. Menopause strikes again. And, although women lived longer than men, in those days, by the time they were in their 40's, trust me, they were pretty used up by poor diet, working their ever loving asses off (Not at the gym, mind you!) birthing 2,3,10 kids, and of course , washing the dishes, laundry, waxing the pick-up truck and painting the cave too! It is kind of called Evolution, I'm thinking and it makes sense to me. We're NOT SUPPOSED to be able to FU*K (procreate) 24/7 after a certain age and all men are not created equally (My friend really pisses me off sometimes, talking about all his adventures...And, the real pissy part of it all, is I know it is true..........For HIM! **stard! lol OK...I'm jealous) Anyway, that's why boys and men are in their prime when they're, say, 17 to about 40ish...I was quite "active" 'til I was about 45. You know, like the Energizer Bunny. Because of SEVERAL physical compromises (see my dang profile...I'm a fat SOB!!! But, I'm cute!!! lol) causing an early retirement and SSDI, my sex drive #1: Went to shit. #2: I hurt everywhere so I wasn't interested. I went through that magic "bubble" where, if you're actively having sex, hard-ons and all, and you continue to use it OFTEN, then you "may" still have it in you...Or her, w/e...BUT, if you Don't Use It OFTEN during a period of time in your mid-40's and early 50's, you'll no doubt LOSE IT, just about forever. I'm one of those who doesn't forget all the wonderful women (2-3 he he heeeeee) I was with prior to RIGHT NOW! The one's who taught me well! Yes, TAUGHT ME what they liked and needed in a SEXUAL Act. One thing they taught me was to be more intimate and not so, Cave Man Like!" OK, occasionally they like that, but as a "rule" women are a bit tenderer (Oh man, except Dian...errrrrr, uhhhh...Never mind!!!) Now, I still get a "semi." Yes, it is discouraging, sometimes a bit embarrassing, frustrating, yes yes yes...All that. BUT, I've been lucky to find a "couple" of wonderful women more lately who like me for ME, like how "skilled" I am when we're intimate, and seem to enjoy my "[u]Half[/u] Hearted" efforts at a Rock Hard, 15-48 year old something called an ERECTION! Yes, I make up for it with fingers, tongue, toes, ELECTRICITY, and more. Massages are real nice for her, with a HAPPY ENDING! Me too! OK, my point is we're not as evolved as much as we think we are. Yes, Viagra and others have helped IMMENSELY! (Women like that word...Immense! "It's so IMMENCE!" OK, Sorry!) But we're really physically about 1000 years old and dong what Mother Nature intended. We old farts leave the FUC*ING to the young studs because we're not supposed to be even interested in it that much...I am...But many aren't. A good friend once told me that "I just don't care anymore..." as he was being perfectly honest with me. That was about 6-7 years ago and he is 2-3 years older than me. He married my old girlfriend of about 3 years and had been married to her for about 4-5 years when we had this discussion...She and I had dated when we were in out mid-40's. OMG, I'm thinking...How can he NOT be interested??? This woman was cute, sexy, WILLING to try anything and always ready in ANY situation. A perfect woman, I'm sad to say! lol Problem was, Pete was Petered out, old enough, in good shape except for one thing. Mother Nature and his body clock was ticking on by leaving him a bit by the wayside. I felt for her, but of course never mentioned a thing. I mean...I was getting there too!

I’ve said enough and probably waaaaaaaaaay too much!!!

Maybe the woman who can't handle NOT having a rigid rod is dysfunctional too? After all, zillions of gay women seem to do ok without stiff meat.

Great thread OP and glad to see even the controversial opinions being expressed.

"Sexually Dysfunctional" can be many things, a limp willy is ONLY 1 of them.

And yes, I'm a victim of BP meds! But I do a great hairy lesbian impression!

This thread has been dead for a while but what the hey, I've just started here.
