Acting feels different. I'm not sure exactly what that is, but it used to mean a lot more. Maybe that sounds like I'm throwing it away and I'm not, I'll still do the best damn job I can, but it doesn't mean the same thing. I'm going to get the answer for myself one of these days. It's the male menopause, that's what it is.

WHAT DOES MALE MENOPAUSE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Andropause

Andropause or male menopause, is a name that has been given, in some parts of the English-speaking world, to a set of effects that appears in some aging men, and which have some superficial similarities to menopause effects in women. The condition "andropause" is currently not recognized by the World Health Organization and its ICD-10 medical classification. Hypogonadism when it occurs in men is however considered to be a deficiency state in which the hormone testosterone goes below the normal range for an aging male. This set of effects sometimes called "andropause" may be related to the slow but steady reduction of the production of the hormones testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in middle-aged men, and the consequences of that reduction. It is also associated with a decrease in Leydig cells. A steady decline in testosterone levels with age is well documented.
