Do men experience anything like menopause?
CN: I believe they absolutely do. I have a friend who refers to it as “testapause.” I don’t like that term because I don’t want what’s been told to women, the misinformation that their ovaries are going to shut down and have that told to men. Because they don’t, there’s a huge variation. You can find men who are seventy who have testosterone or DHEA levels that are the same as a forty year old male it just depends on their level of health. What men go through and there is no question (about this) is mid-life crisis. And it usually involves something about their work. Either they’re downsized at their place of work or they have to start a new career at age forty eight or fifty. This can be very devastating for a man. And often men will act out sexually, or buy a new car, or become very agitated about the economy. I read this article about how women were choosing not to get married until they meet the right guy. I can tell you that having done it, having tried to make someone feel better
