A brief YouTube short summarizing a 2020 Frontiers in Physiology paper titled "Effect of Calorie Restriction and Exercise on Age Related Alteration in the Corpus Cavernosum". The speaker claims that aging lowers testosterone, reducing receptors in the corpus cavernosum (penile erectile tissue), leading to muscle atrophy and fibrosis (scar tissue). The video frames calorie restriction and exercise as the context of the cited study.

I am excited to tell you about this research that I found that was published in the Frontier in physiology in 2020 and is titled the Effect of Calorie Restriction and Exercise on Age Related Alteration in the Corpus Cavernosum or the Penis Muscle. Essentially, what this article is saying is that when you get older, your corpus cavernosum or the muscle defendants tend to atrophy or start to get smaller or shrink and start to have scar tissue development because as you get older your testosterone level drop and because it drops, there's less receptors in the muscle or the corpus cavernosum and therefore the muscle atrophy.
