Anal vs. Penile Sensitivity in Older Age

I am closing in on my 69th birthday in a couple of months, and recently I have noticed changes in my overall sexual sensitivity, particularly a decrease in sensitivity in my penis, difficulty of arousal and erection, and the rest of the subject matter for the Viagra commercials. These symptoms are to be expected, of course. What has surprised me, though, is that I have experienced a marked increase in anal sensitivity. I have always enjoyed erotic anal play, starting with those wonderful childhood enemas many of us grew up on and continuing through many, many years of masturbatory toy play. Over the years, these feelings of being "butt horny" as I called it would come and go in varying degrees of intensity. Lately, it seems like this desire for backside play has come in full force, and is here to stay! My only sex these days is masturbation, and I still enjoy "jacking off", but I really crave attention for my anus, rectum, and prostate more than ever before.

Have any of you older male [or female] members here experienced this? If so, have you changed your sexual habits to accommodate?

Interesting. I've noticed an uptick in my anal eroticism in the past few years too, and I'm only 47.

I've always been anal erotic, playing with my ass as far back as my memory goes into early childhood. There have been stretches of time over the years when I didn't give my ass much attention, concentrating on penile stimulation, especially with partners.

The latest difference I have noticed though is that It is not uncommon for me to focus on anal play without any stimulation of my penis. Quite a difference from my teens, twenties, and thirties when anal masturbation sessions always included or culminated in stimulating my penis to ejaculation as well.

Cleanbean, like you I often just focus on anal pleasure with no penile play at all. Often rubbing my anus with no penetration is the last thing I do in bed before going to sleep and the first thing when I awake in the morning. Not orgamic at all, yet very pleasurable and erotic.

I am 60 and I would say I am fortunate not to have lost any sensation or sensitivity in my penis. I have always been anal erotic from a very early age and as I learned more about anal eroticism I would combine penile masturbation with anal stimulation.

My biggest realization early on was that when I combine anal and penile stimulation I have much better orgasms. Anal stimulation for me is a strong enhancement for orgasmic supercharging.

So slowhand, I would recommend you do both and take advantage of using anal stimulation as way to boost the overall pleasure of masturbating.

At age 73, I am really beginning to explore thanks to my wife's support. Shooting off, even with a soft penis, takes about a minute with a butt plug in my writhing ass.

I love touching my anus when I get into bed before falling asleep. Many nights I also play with my penis a bit too.

I'm 86 yrs. now and have noticed that anal feelings have not decreased . Maybe it's because I can't find enema or anal friends because of my age. I have a tummy but not heavy otherwise. I can JO but don't get hard enough for penetration. The gay life has not been for me so I'm limited somewhat. I enjoy dildoes colon tubes, colonics, touching and penetration fingers, and someone to give me all the warm enemas I can hold. Yah-again and again

At 64, ED is an issue. As a bisexual man I have always enjoyed anal sex so I can't say it's more sensitive now than before.

I am 65. I have no problem with erections but sometimes I can't reach an orgasm. I've always enjoyed anal stimulation but now I crave it almost daily. My wife is anti anal so I have found several men who will fuck my ass. Or I use toys and objects to satisfy my needs.

With some medication adjustments, I'm not experiencing the erection issues I had been experiencing. I have always been very anal seeking, anything from fingers to dildos, to butt plugs. Even when I was having some difficulties with erections or "feeling" in order to cum, with a healthy session of anal play I could always have a very satisfying orgasm. I often say to men who shy away from anal that they are missing 1/2 of what makes great sex. The anus, rectum, prostate, perineum, scrotum, testicles, and penis are all interconnected. Enjoy it all.
