LONDON (Reuters) - Older men are better lovers and have fewer impotence problems than their younger counterparts, with the "male menopause" a myth pedaled by drug companies to sell their products, according to a British psychologist.
Dr. Lorraine Boule, from Sheffield University in northern England, told the British Psychological Society conference that men became more skilled sexually as they get older, British newspapers reported on Saturday.
"Older men sustain erections for longer, are longer coming to orgasm, and satisfy women better. Sexual activity does diminish with age, but the quality should get better," she was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.
Boule's conclusions were based on a survey of 185 married professional men aged 30 to 60. While 22 percent of men under 46 suffered erectile problems, only 16 percent of those over 46 did.
She dismissed as nonsense the idea that men needed testosterone as a hormone replacement therapy in the same way that some women take estrogen to ease the effects of menopause.
The male menopause was a myth spread by drug firms to boost the multimillion dollar market for impotence treatments, she said.
"Life should really begin at 40 for those who have the right mindset," the Times quoted her as saying.

Take my advise,just find a women you hate and buy her a house,it's cheaper in the long run.
Just kidding,was married for 5 years,it was the happiest six months of my life!
Badda bing,badda boom.
Speak for yourself Sarge.
Yeah, but how long was she happy?
This article is true. I have proof.
signed,
a 42 year old single guy.What's your proof? A 55 yr old boyfriend? *L*
Funny. Thanks, Val. :p
I take Vitamins C, E and a herb known as Saw Palmetto (I am no doctor but I recommend Saw Palmetto to every guy over 40 years old) great for the prostate. Every now and then I take an Anacin, so this ole body is not full of all those nasty chemicals.
Too many people take those nasty things and it is bad for the temple.
Like I said before, luck and the help of the Good Lord has a lot to do with it but you must look out for yourself if you have those two ingrediants.
take that, ya' punks!!
Are you quite wealthy?
