Semen Loss: A Sexual Challenge Few Older Lovers Anticipate
Briefly

As men age, particularly after 60, they commonly experience a decrease in semen production, which can be surprising and disconcerting for both them and their partners. This change, while often perceived as a decline in sexual health, is largely a biological and evolutionary adaptation. The article clarifies that decreases in seminal volume are not tied to sexual interest or frequency of masturbation, instead reflecting an evolutionary strategy that prioritizes energy efficiency post-reproductive years. Understanding these changes can help mitigate anxieties around aging and sexual performance.
