Some of the changes in sexuality that occur in elderly men are:

Testosterone production gradually decreased. This decline may also reduce the desire and welfare. Testes become smaller and less productive. Tubular testes will thicken and degenerate. This change will reduce the process of spermatogenesis, with a decrease in the number of sperm but does not affect the ability to fertilize an ovum

The prostate gland is usually enlarged, benign prostate hypertrophy which occurs in 50% of men over the age of 40 years and 90% of men over the age of 80 years. Benign prostatic hypertrophy and requires therapy. However this is discussed further in the discussion of urinary tract system.

Elevation of the testicles and scrotum sac vasokongesti reduced, reducing the intensity and duration of stress on the muscles as well as conscious and unconscious erections may be less rigid and rely on the corner than in a younger age.
