Apparently the male testosterone cycle can lead to IMS.
Testosterone peaks in the morning, which is better for sex, and lowers in the evening, which is better for cuddles.
When men hit their 40s and 50s they might start to feel the lowering of their testosterone levels as loss of sex drive, develop depression, loss of sex drive, erectile dysfunction and other physical and emotional symptoms.
The NHS also lists these other symptoms common in men this age:
mood swings and irritability
loss of muscle mass and reduced ability to exercise
fat redistribution, such as developing a large belly or "man boobs" (gynaecomastia)
a general lack of enthusiasm or energy
difficulty sleeping (insomnia) or
increased tiredness
poor concentration and short-term memory.
These symptoms can interfere with everyday life and happiness... and may lead to irritable posts on the forum.
Men, are you suffering with IMS?
Women, have you experienced this with men in your lives?
Others, how does this play out for you?

"Only  s in tonight?
"
I've defended my right to make a point all day. I don't want to attract any more attention -- but I similarly won't be silenced when I want to be heard.   |

I was reading about IMS last week but forgot to post about it... until now.

It's worth seeing a Doctor I get Testosterone on a prescription and it's changed my life I feel healthier hornier and have loads of energy.
I simply went to the Doc and asked for it as I wanted my levels to stay the same as a horny 19 year old |

The advice is to get it checked as adjusting testosterone may help.

that has its own downsides too though..most men seem incapable of not behaving like teenagers a lot of the time, they dont need another excuse! |

"I definitely have sleep problems, and the occasional need to be left alone mood but at least I can say it's not my fault anymore and blame IMS  "
Just tell them it's the time of day.

I'm pretty sure there's research out there showing men have a similar cycle to women with regards to hormone levels. Issue is, the effects are less obvious and as such often overlooked and dismissed.
Low testosterone and it's replacement is becoming huge business in the USA and has been for a few years. |

"Well,
I wasn't depressed before I read this thread..
But now I'm fucking pissed off and feeling downright miserable..
Anyone give me a cuddle, I just don't feel like sex at this late hour... "
Just snuggle in to my pillows and I'll give you a cuddle.

If anything i have become less irritable the last few years since taking up meditation, sleep is fine and to be honest the sex drive is still good though not as high as when i was younger but that's age..
