Although I find the guy's request and strategy of fixing the problem absolutely ludicrous, his desire for physical attraction is a common thread with many of us guys.  And, me being 54, looks for that attraction at my age.  There are women who keep themselves looking very good at my age.  I'm also being realistic, as age does put a few dings and scratches on the body.  But, a person can be very attractive for their age group.   

Personally, the thought of me with someone under 45 is hilarious...it'd look comical, and I'd never pursue it.  Oh, that once a month thing being a performance problem has more to do with the attraction between the partners than an aging man.  Empirical testing (mine) proves it is for me.
