How To Keep Your Wood Strong As You Get Older! 💪🔥

Hey fellas, if you want to keep your love life thriving well into your golden years, then you’ve come to the right place. I’m here to share the real deal on how to "Benjamin Button" your sex life—yes, age in reverse when it comes to your performance in the bedroom. Whether you’re 25 or 60, the habits you build today will make a massive difference tomorrow.

My name’s Brian, aka Uncle Ben. For over 23 years, I’ve been a men’s performance coach working with guys from their late teens to their 80s. And let me tell you, no matter your age, you don’t want to find yourself in a situation where your erections aren’t showing up on demand. So, let’s break down the daily habits, thought processes, and lifestyle tweaks you need to keep your “Good Wood” strong for decades to come.

Why You Need To Care About Your Wood

First up, why even bother keeping your erections strong as you age? Well, for starters, a healthy erection is a sign you’re physically healthy. It’s also a strong indicator that you have a longer life ahead of you. And hey, if nothing else, wouldn’t you want to be the Mac at the senior center, charming the crowd? “Hey Miss Johnson, how’s it going?”

But here’s the flip side: I recently talked to a guy who hadn’t had an erection in 15 years. That’s a long dry spell and definitely not a good look.

So, what exactly is a healthy erection? It’s about:

• Erections on demand
• Spontaneous erections
• Morning wood (yes, that’s a good thing!)
• Lasting as long as you want
• Having intense orgasms
• Short refractory periods (the time it takes to bounce back after orgasm)

The stats back this up: according to the NIH, 40% of men over 40 have erection issues. Testosterone drops by about 1% every year, so by 50, half of men face erection struggles, and by 60, it’s 60%. These numbers don’t lie, which is why you need to act now.

It’s Not Just DNA — Your Habits Matter More

Here’s some truth: only about 25% of your health is predetermined by your DNA. The other 75% is what you do with your body. Think about it—I was 185 pounds and pulling the ladies in college at Howard University. Years later, I ballooned to 285 pounds, and the only thing I was pulling then was a Domino’s pizza order. Good days and bad days, right?

What you eat, how you sleep, how you exercise, how often you eat, and how you manage stress directly impact your erections. If you’re stuck in the same old patterns every day, your body will show it.

We’re living in a man-made environment, which means many of our modern habits are out of sync with nature. The good news? You don’t have to overhaul your life overnight. In fact, trying to change everything at once is a recipe for disaster.

Instead, follow the 1% rule. Change one small thing, one percent better every day. That’s how you build momentum and sustainable habits.

Why Patterns Are Key: Your Mind Loves Them

Your mind thrives on patterns. Think about it: when you go to church every Sunday, you sit in the same pew and sing the same hymns. Or maybe you hit the bar every Friday night, sitting in the same stool, drinking the same Hennessy. Both are patterns, but which one is better for your health and performance?

Building good patterns around your daily habits is what will keep your motor running. Let me share my daily routine to give you a starting point. Pick what works for you and start small.

My Daily Routine To Keep The Good Wood Going

Wake Up Early & Make Your Bed

I get up at 6:00 AM sharp. As soon as the alarm goes off, I’m out of bed—no snoozing. Making my bed right away sets the tone for accomplishment. It’s a simple way to get your body and mind into a winning pattern.

Hydrate Immediately

Two glasses of water first thing to rehydrate after a night’s sleep. Hydration is crucial for blood flow, which you want in tip-top shape.

Meditate and Visualize

Taking a few minutes to clear my mind and focus on my goals helps me stay centered. This mental clarity reduces stress, which is a silent killer of erections.

Move Your Body

I spend about 30 minutes doing mobility and stretching routines to keep my body loose and limber. Movement is medicine, especially as you age.

Rotate Your Workouts

I switch it up between walking, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and heavy lifting. This rotation keeps my body engaged and avoids burnout. Walking days are active rest days that help recovery.

Intermittent Fasting

I typically fast until 1:00 PM. When I break my fast, I avoid sweets and go for nutrient-dense options like sea moss or beet juice. If you’re new to fasting, try starting with a salad in the morning—it sounds weird but helps reset your eating pattern.

Get Sunlight & Vitamin D

In the afternoon, I take a walk outside to soak up some sun. Vitamin D is essential for testosterone production and overall health. If I worked out indoors in the morning, this sun exposure is even more important.

Manage Stress Throughout The Day

Stress is a major enemy of your erections. I meditate regularly and take steps to stay calm and focused.

Eat Early & Digest Well

I make sure to eat my last meal before 6:00 PM. This gives my body at least three hours to digest before bedtime, leading to better sleep quality.

Optional Evening Workout

Sometimes I squeeze in a quick workout in the evening, depending on my schedule. Movement anytime helps keep circulation and hormones balanced.

Screen Curfew & Sleep Ritual

By 8:30 PM, I turn off all screens—no TV, no phone, no laptop. This helps my mind wind down naturally. At 9:30 PM, I start my sleep ritual: dimming lights, turning on orange bulbs, putting on a sleep mask, and sometimes taking a warm bath to cool my body down. The bedroom temperature is set at 68°F for optimal sleep. Lights out by 10:30 PM ensures I get solid rest to set me up for the next day.

It’s Not About Perfection, It’s About Progress

Look, I’m human. I don’t nail this routine every single day. Some days I slip up. But the goal is to get comfortable being consistent with these habits. I used to eat whatever I wanted first thing in the morning and hated making my bed as a kid. Now, it’s automatic.

The most important takeaway? just get started. Improve by 1% every day, and over time, you’ll see massive changes in your performance, energy, and confidence.
