Older Men More Satisfied in Bed
Recent research has shown that when men turn 50, they are more satisfied in bed than men in their 30s.

A team of Norwegian and American researchers carried out research on which male age group is more satisfied in bed, which included 1185 men aged between 20 and 79. They discovered that older men have more problems with the achieving of erection and lack of sexual drive. On the other hand, 50-year old men reported they are as satisfied in bed as the 21-year-olds. According to satisfaction with sex life, 30 and 40-year old men are on the third and fourth places. The last are the men over 70.
"The results of the research show that there is a strong connection between the aging of men and reduced sexual function. The research however indicated no connection between age and (dis)satisfaction over sex life," researcher and professor Sophie Fossa commented on the results of the research.
Were they satisfied in bed because of or despite their age?
It is interesting that only 3% of respondents stated that age is the cause for their reduced satisfaction with sex life. Sex problems due to aging were shown elsewhere. 22% of respondents said they felt a 
decrease in sexual drive due to aging, 33% had problems with erection due to aging, and 23% of men had problems with ejaculation due to aging.
"The research shows that older men experience more problems with sexual functions, but this does not mean that they are less satisfied with their sex lives," added Sophie Fossa.
Psychologist Ronald Bracey, who is a specialist in male sexuality, is not surprised at the results and explained them as follows: "Men in their 30s and 40s are too stressed by career and success. Stress often influences their sex lives."
Why 50-year-olds and above are so satisfied in bed
"When a man turns 50, his path of life is usually firmly set and he knows what to expect from life. Such s man is therefore more relaxed, less stressed and feels less fear. That is why he is able to appreciate and enjoy his sex life, and thus be more satisfied in bed," added the psychologist.
