Male Menopause and Midlife Crisis... Fact or Fiction??

For centuries it's been known that there is
such a thing as female menopause... and now
recently it's been discovered that men suffer
from identical symptoms in what's been termed
a similar phenomenon called: "male menopause"

my research this week on "male menopause"
started on the NaturalMedicne.co.za site
- located HERE

and then took me to andrology.com this caught
my eye: " Mid-life crisis, thus, is essentially
a problem of psycho-social adjustment. It need
not necessarily have a bearing on a man's sex
life. It is thus not synonymous with the male
menopause although there is frequently a
superimposition of male menopausal factors in
middle-aged men going through crises and this
makes the picture hazy. "

between mid-life crisis stages and male
menopause... as well as the differences between
male and female menopause -

For more articles and the research to support
the statement that - there is such a thing as
"male menopause" - I researched the net this
week and this particular site had allot to
offer regarding others that have done research
on male menopause and have published their
findings here -

the research that I found on csun.edu
(California State University - Northridge)
was from a broader study on
Psychological Aspects of Human Sexuality
and Debate Topics - results cataloged here:
http://www.csun.edu/~psy453/

that list has many of today's "questions"
listed on various topics related to human
sexuality... I found it interesting...
