Orgasm?

If you mean orgasm then the answer is “yes.” The best celebrity anecdote is from Richard Pryor whose own father “came and went” at the same time while having sex with one of his own prostitutes (he was a pimp).

These days, we older men with heart disease need to be extra careful because taking nitroglycerin, having Coronary Artery Disease, and using Viagra to flog a dying horse, all add up to what our special needs government calls a “Black Box Warning.” In other words, proceed with caution. But in all honesty, no one ever in the midst of passion has stepped back to say, “hey, let's think about this first.”

Sildenafil, the generic name/form of Viagra, works by relaxing the smoothe muscles that line the arterial (oxygen-carrying) side of our blood system. In penises, that's a good thing. But in horny old men, that means a lot of the blood moves from the core (heart, lungs, etc.) to the periphery, leaving less blood to oxygenate these vital organs. So, at the moment of ecstasy there is a battle, and the poor ol' geezer often loses.

Taps are now on order.

Diet and exercise.

The thing about dieting is that you need to lose fat overall since “spot reduction” (exercising a particular body part to lose fat from that particular site) is a waste of time at best, a waste of money at worst. As many here know, I recommend a ketogenic diet as the best way to lose fat. There are now literally tons of books and videos out there that explain how to do this.

As for exercise, progressive resistance weightlifting is the best. This means that for any exercise, either add more weight or increase the number of repetitions each workout.

If you want, you can add a cardio workout, such as running, biking, swimming, or spinning. However, I have two caveats. First, don't overdo it. Limit each session to about 30 minutes, three times per week. Secondly, make sure you have time to recover. My best approach has always been to do cardio in the morning then weightlifting in the evening. Take the next day off. Repeat this sequence 3x/week.

If you're concerned about how toned you want your arms to be, of course biceps curls are the best. BUT… also do triceps extensions or pull-downs so you don't create a muscle imbalance.

The rest of your exercises should be the basics: bench press, squats, crunches, lat pull-downs, leg curls, leg extensions, and deadlift. You'll work wonders with these.

Best of luck!
