Andropause (Male Menopause) And Adolescence Similar Life Stages,hogan vendita
I often describe Andropause or Male Menopause as adolescence the second time around or as puberty in reverse.
During puberty male hormones such as testosterone surge mightily. It's something that all of us guys have been through. As Michael Gurian, author of The Wonder of Boys says, "When a male hits puberty, the influence of testosterone on the brain increases manifold. His testosterone level itself will increase in quantities ten to twenty times more than girls. His genitals will increase to eight times their previous size. His body will go through anywhere between five to seven surges of testosterone per day. You can expect him to masturbate continually,MBT Tariki Schuhe, bump into things a lot, be moody and aggressive, require a great deal of sleep,Mbt Schuhe Flamme, lose his temper, want sex as soon as he gets up, have the emotional guts to propose to a partner,Mbt Sandalen Pia, and have a massive sexual fantasy life." "
Does any of this sound familiar?
Think about what we're seeing at this period of life:
Lots of mood swings Hormonal shifts Questions and confusion about sexuality Desire to break away from family and at the same time clinging tightly to family for support Fascination with the newest toys and gadgets Fears of getting close but also a need for intimacy Physical changes in the body Questions about identity and direction in life
We all can spot these signs. But are we talking about a fifteen year-old or a fifty year-old? Re-title Gurian's book in your mind and call it The Wonder of Mid-life Men and think about our dropping testosterone. Do any of the changes feel familiar?
Action Option:
Go back and look at the changes you experienced during puberty. Which were the most upsetting? Which were the most difficult? Now look at the changes you may have experienced going through . What do you see that is similar? What would you like to do different as you go through this change of life?
The parallel nature of adolescence and Andropause is one of the reasons that mid-life parents have such a difficult time understanding their teen-age children. Both are working through similar issues. When Dad freaks out thinking about his daughter's emerging sexuality, it is often because he is also dealing with changes in his own sexuality. When father has difficulty setting sensible limits on his son's behavior, it is often times because he is having trouble setting limits of his own.
