Could He Be Going Through MANopause?

Women may not be the only ones who experience a “life change” in their bodies and emotions as they become older. Some doctors claim that many of their male patients report similar symptoms that women endure in perimenopause and menopause. Some men experience decreased energy and muscle tone, disinterest in sex, impotence, depression, and fatigue. They also report weight gain, hair loss, memory loss, irritability, hot flashes, night sweats and trouble sleeping. Andropause, also known as male menopause or MANopause, is the result of a gradual drop in testosterone which is an androgen, giving the condition its name. After men reach their sexual prime in their early 20’s, they begin losing testosterone at a rate of one to two percent a year, and noticeable effects can usually be felt by age 35.

The Power of Pheromones

Is initial attraction and sexual arousal really only skin deep? Beyond visual appeal, there’s a subconscious scientific magnetism happening that may affect the physical desirability of those around us. Whether we realize it or not, most women and men are deeply affected by the natural pheromones that we are constantly emitting. Just follow your nose – it always knows!

Of course body odor can be terribly offensive at times, so we should do our best to maintain good hygiene. But, rather than trying to cover up our natural scent with heavy perfumes and artificial fragrances, we should allow our organic aroma to capture the attention of our mate or potential lover. Our natural pheromones can be an extremely powerful way to attract a partner or stimulate sexual arousal with your significant other. We use most or all of our senses when we are evaluating a person or situation, and believe it or not, our sense of smell is exceptionally influential in our reasoning processes. The scent our bodies emit can either be totally repulsive or extremely appealing, and may drastically vary in preference depending on the individual.
