He said since he turned 40, the force and volume of his ejaculations has gone down. He said his wife thought he was being ridiculous and she didn't care how far he shot, but it is a concern of his because of the whole male prowess thing I guess. He admitted to taking supplements, like saw palmetto and other stuff, but with no improvement. His doctor just said "it's normal...you're not 23 anymore". We joked a bit more about it, him being in artillery in the Army and all...I thought all this was very strange, considering he is a very confident guy and a psychologist and marriage counselor as a profession. It also got me wondering if this matters to any other men, and for that matter, women. It never really entered my thinking. Oh yeah, there were times when I or my partner noted the volume or the distance, but I never attached it as a sign of my virility or manliness, even when the volume or distance was, shall we say, weak. I've noticed a bit of a dropoff perhaps, now that I've rounded the big four-O, but nothing problematic, and certainly nothing to affect my masculinity.Do others find this concept of the volume and distance or whatever to be important to them or their partner? ARE there any supplements that help? I realize physiology has something to do with it...the size of the urethra opening, firmness of erection and all. Just has me curious now.

 it could be the first sign of prostrate trouble.
he needs to get a second opinion.
if he thinks he has a problem, then he will get worse till it becomes a real problem, i.e. erection worries etc.

 Honestly, I couldn't care how far or how much my husband can produce - I doubt any women do. It's not like you need a man around to put out fires with it....
But in your friends case, I don't think it's about his wife at all, it about him. For someone turning 40, I think he is oddly attached to his "emissions".
Maybe it has to do with midlife? Or, even as suggested, his prostate.

 Well I'm no doctor, but semen is a combination of sperm plus fluid that the prostate adds. Maybe its less about sperm content and just the prostate fluids that aren't coming out in full force? Time for your mate to get a prostate exam perhaps?
I've never really thought about it, but the concept of ejaculation volume/distance being important to anybody seems a tad silly to me.
