Male menopause involves the hormonal, physiological and chemical changes that occur in men generally between the ages of 40 and 55. It is a physical condition with psychological, interpersonal, social and spiritual dimensions.
Testimonies of men who admit to have experienced a great decline in sex drive, as well as symptoms similar to female menopause.

The symptoms of male menopause are not as overwhelming as the wholesale changes women experience, and male menopause does not affect all men. Approximately 40% of men in their 40s, 50s and 60s will experience some degree of lethargy, depression, increased irritability, mood swings, and difficulty in attaining and sustaining erections that characterize male menopause. For these individuals, such unanticipated physical and psychological changes can be cause for concern or even crisis. Without an understanding partner, these problems may result in a powerful combination of anxieties and doubts, which can lead to total impotence and sexual frustration.

Hope this can be of some help =)  You can always research more about it & I believe there is a book called Male Menopause by Jed Diamond.

I'm a 33 year old male in the best shape of my life.  I recently gave up smoking and replaced that with working out. For the past couple of weeks, I've had a hot forehead and hot top of my head.  I do not have a fever.  A little under normal actually (97.7 F) I've also experienced what I guess I would describe as a hot flash.  Is this normal for a man my age?  It seems young for andropause...
