What is male menopause?

Male Menopause (also called viropause or andropause) involves the hormonal, physiological, and chemical changes that occur in all men generally between the ages of 40 and 55, though it can occur as early as 35 or as late as 65. These changes effect all aspects of a man's life. unlike menopause in women, "male" menopause is not a natural occurrence associated with aging. The testis, unlike the ovary, does not run out of the substance it needs to make hormones. If a man is healthy, he may be able to make sperm well into his 80s or longer. However, as a result of disease, subtle changes in the function of the testis may occur as early as 45 to 50 years of age, and more dramatically after the age of 70 in some men.

when they go out and buy a red sportscar

Also known as "MENO-PORSCHE", This is where a man has a mid life crisis. He might quit his job, his wife or his rational thinking. Symptoms include: Purchasing an expensive sports car/SUV, hanging out with younger blondes, and, in worst scenario cases, gold chains.
Other, less obvious signs are: suddenly joining a gym, purchasing of Abercrombie & Fitch clothing, and, sadly, hair plugs.

All kidding aside, men's hormones change as they get older, and sometimes this causes them to re-evaluate their lives. Sometimes they make foolish choices. This is not to invalidate the very real biological changes that happen to a man as he ages. Sometimes it is the declining levels of testosterone that doctors treat. Other times, his family needs to let him know how much they love and appreciate him, and he needs to phsychologically feel needed and virile.
