Has anyone heard of "male menopause" or "andropause"?

yes - andropause is the slow decline of testosterone in a male over the age of 50

although a mans sperm remains fertile until he dies so theoretically he can still be a father - his testosterone gradually falls off and with this comes changes such as tiredness, loss of libido, sometimes impotence, depression, moodiness and laying down of fat around the belly and chest.

in some men this doesnt happen until they are 80! in others it is more marked at a much ealrier age

nowadays if it is quite marked it can be treated with some hormone replacement therapy

I've heard of it but it's not really the same thing, a male is theoretically fertile his entire life under normal circumstances. Recent research though indicates that at age 52 the chances for birth defect and miscarriage gets significantly higher due to the damage aging has had on his genetic material.

Men can reproduce till the day they die normally, some become impotent as they get older (hence Viagra, Cialis, etc).

i have. its where a guy starts loseing there testosterone.
