No. Because you contribute after-tax dollars, you have already paid taxes on the money and there is really no reason that the government would want to mandate distributions. On traditional IRAs, required minimum distributions begin at age 70 1/2 for the rest of your life. Because you invested pre-tax, the government doesn't get their cut until you make distributions. Thus, if you haven't done this by 70 1/2, you are forced to begin taking out a certain percentage.
