default
Posted on Thu, 30 Jan 2014
Question: I am 75 and have an enlarged prostate. My wife with some dementia is not interested in sex. While I have chronic prostatitis, it has become dormant lately, Should I avoid masturbation? I am physically active for my age. I do not drink or smoke. Heart problems are limited. My urologist has said NO, a previous one said NOT MUCH!
