I discovered masturbation when I was 12 years old. It has been a sexual tension reliever for me between relationships with girls. At that age I found it easy to get an erection and maintain it. Also the time taken to acheive orgasm and ejaculate seems to be a lot quicker than it takes now.
The other thing which I have noticed is that it is taking a lot of rubbing and need to maintain a very strong grip around the shaft of the penis to reach orgasm stage. Further the amount of ejaculate and the speed/force that it is forced out of the penis seems to be less.
Is this a natural process of ageing or there something more sinister goig on?
Would appreciate anyones' thoughts.

Yeah, that is no big deal. Honestly, if it still works, then you are in good shape. You are just getting used to orgasm and you need something to "excite" you again. A new girl, particularly one you are in love with, will make you feel like a kid again.
Male capacity for sperm and semen production peaks at age 18 and is downhill from there. Many years ago with teen partners it was common for them to keep on ticking. Now, with men much older, twice in a long evening is the limit. The recovery time for a teen male is minutes in many cases and for a 50 yo man, hours and can stretch to a day or more.
Men do get to a point of use it or lose it. In a young man who has not ejaculted for a few days, there is a hair trigger - he ejaculates rapidly. In older men, if they go for some months, they may experience difficulty getting it up but they can get back in the swing with practice.
Short answer is that you are experiencing the natural increase in recovery time and need for stimulation that comes with age. My one "regular" male partner now is a bit over sixty (literally, old enough to be my father). We have perhaps four weekends together a year. He does quite wll, thank you, but has slowed a bit over the past four years. Sunday mornings, he requires more stimulation than I can give vaginally. That is OK with me because I do not want to drive home two hours "draining" and I am rather adept at alternative stimulation.
