There is much talk about the loss or increase of sexual drive in woman during menopause. What happens to men during their menopause?
This is a controversial area. Some people believe that men don’t have a menopause equivalent and others feel very strongly that they do and have in fact labeled it the andropause. Those who believe andropause exists suggest that males undergo a decrease in their sex hormones. They suggest there are visually apparent physical changes such as sagging of the chest. There might also be less urgency about sex, more time required to become aroused and a reduced need for orgasm. Sexual activity might change to become more gentle and less centred on performance. The bottom line is that both men and women can be (and often are) sexual in old age.
