I am 80 years old. I take two pills for my prostate, one pill for blood pressure, and one pill for cholesterol. I am also taking pain killers for facial shingles contacted in 2021. I take Viagra and up until two months ago everything great in our sex life. Then all of a sudden, I am coming before I start intercourse and I do not experience orgasm. What do you think?

First, I urge you to consult your physician or urologist to rule out any medical concerns.
If you’re medically OK, you might try a self-help resource that teaches ejaculatory control and recovering lost orgasms. As it happens, my recent book Sizzling Sex for Life has extensive chapters on both those issues, and a big chapter on elder sex, too. For more, visit SizzlingSexforLife.com.
If self-help doesn’t provide sufficient relief, then I would urge you to consult a sex therapist. If you’re unfamiliar with it, sex therapists are psychotherapists with extra training in sexual issues, who can provide informed help with sex problems. Sex therapists do NOT have sex with you and do NOT watch you have sex. They rely on face-to-face (or Zoom) conversations. They impart sex information and lovemaking insights, and often assign “homework.” Costs vary, but expect $200-300/hour. Some providers discount fees for those who can’t afford standard rates. For more, read my the chapter on sex therapy in my book, and/or see the film, “Hope Springs” with Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones. To find a sex coach near you, visit the World Association of Sex Coaches. To find a sex therapist near you, visit the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists, the Society for Sex Therapy and Research, or the American Board of Sexology.
I’m confident your problems can be resolved. I wish you sizzling sex for life.
