I mentioned the words "Male Menopause" to my husband and he just about choked.  Here is a quote from Forbes magazine that expresses some of the same sentiment:

"As men start to age, their bodies also start to undergo major changes. They don't get hot flashes, but they do experience hormonal, physiological and chemical shifts that can affect many aspects of their lives. What is this phenomenon that occurs in men starting in their 40s?

"You can call it aging; just don't call it male menopause.

"It's a bit of a misnomer," says Dr. Christopher Saigal, an assistant professor of urology at UCLA. "I prefer to call it ADAM–Androgen Deficiency of the Aging Male. It best reflects what is going on."

So, I promise not to say my husband is in menopause.  He's experiencing an ADAM.
