My husband who is 50 is having problems getting erections, and ejaculations. Could he be reaching his final days with sex?

I doubt it very highly.

He SHOULD, however, see his doctor. There could be so very many things wrong physically that you just don't want to mess with.

It all depends on the mans health.

Some people are active until the day they die. Anthony Quinn fathered a child at 78 I think it was. There really is no set time when the toys get put away to collect dust.

As Synnen said... best to see a doctor and make sure its not a symptom of something more serious.

Your husband probably just needs to see a doctor.

My husband is over 50 and still has no problems.

I agree with him seeing a doctor. This could be very well be a symptom of a bigger problem.

Coming from a nurse...

I agree with the above, it is most likely a symptom of something more serious. Just a few of the causes of impotence are diabetes, enlarged prostate, hypertension, and kidney problems, just to name a few.

Time to make that appointment.

You should get him an appointment. Reassure him there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Hope everything is fine.

Yea, see a doctor. etc. blah blah. The loss of the ability to achieve erection is usually indicitive of another problem.

Men are usually good until they die, and there have been stories of corpses with stiffies as well. Though I think the ability to ejaculate ends with death; they're just sort of a cold dildo at that point.

I just needed to add that. The human body is a weird and wonderful thing.

I've been going through the same thing. My man is 64 and I am nine years younger. He doesn't have a problem getting hard but has a problem finishing. He won't see a doctor so I've just been trying to figure it out. I have caught him watching porn and he says he wasn't. I wish he would go to a doctor and if yours will then you're doing better than mine. Talk to him about it but 50 seems a little young to have problems so maybe he's going through something emotionally.

Yes, with the help from my doctor, 50 plus has been better than 20 ever way.

I remember my dad saying that if he lived perhaps to 100 he may slow down, but he was active well into his 80's

At 50, normally it is a issue of other health issues, prostrate, blood pressure, other medicacation he may be taking.

Just piling onto the great answers above.

Performance issues can be tied to one thing or the sum of many "smaller" things... and it isn't all that difficult to add those small things together... which, I think, often means opportunity...

So... add together even "moderate" issues like borderline blood pressure, changes in quality of sleep, a natural loss of elasticity in the arteries over time... the gradual decline in testosterone that often starts around the 40's... a more sedentary lifestyle... and on and on and on...

As mentioned, I hope he talks to his physician. I hope he asks to have his testosterone levels checked. If he isn't physically active, I hope he starts an exercise program... personally, I think physical activity is one of the most important boosts to a mans drive and to performance issues, mentally and physically.

When our eyes give us problems, we seek professional help. When our teeth ache, we welcome the relief that comes from good care. But its easy for us guys to perhaps assume what is "inevitable" is just how it is going to be.

It isn't fair to place one man next to another and say "see... he is still going strong... why can't you? or even "so can you... "... maybe his performance can be improved. Maybe it cannot. Its surely worth an honest and open discussion with a medical professional.

Some guys just lose interest in sex. There partner is not turning them on any more, or stress for work or home. Or they are on meds that lower there sex drive. Or they bet off so much that they don't need to have sex. With me it is stress for home. Fighting and arguing over nothing. Who wants to make out with a person they want to punch in the nose all the time for starting arguments. Saying crap, bad stuff that you cann't take back. Just being a real all the time.
