Hi Feather
Well - how do I reply to you on such an involved subject? I'm a man of 57yrs and yes - I do believe in the male menopause but this can get mixed up with the natural 'problems'all us guys experience in middle age.Ive always been an active man mentaly and physically; a teacher/facilitator in criminal law and development training; an active runner and keep fit person. BUT! - Its important for a man to feel needed. A man needs a purpose for getting up in the morning. A man needs tactile affection from his wife/partner (this does not necessarily mean sex). OK I'm not ashamed to say that men are 'a bit soft' underneath and few will admit it and certainly to a woman. I have no probs in this department. As a guy gets into his mid forty's he becomes aware that he doesn't function as well as he used to ( including in the bedroom) Loss of labido -maybe, loss of hair-maybe, loss of respect from the younger guys at work - Hi granddad! A man becomes conscious of retirement on the horizon BUT the price is "What will it be like then?" The warrior hunter sees aging ahead. He can very quickly lose his path. Feather the 50's are a dangerous time for men especially health wise and motivation wise. I dont yet have a proper answer for you as I'm still searching for my path after 1yrs retirement and a wife in cancer remission. But I hope that some of the little secrets men never talk about might help you to understand your love ones needs and help him to find his unique path in life.
