Learning for Women and Men about Men and the Natural Aging Process After the age of thirty, a man may lose up to two percent of testicular function each year and a corresponding decrease in testosterone level. We know that twenty to fifty percent of healthy men between the ages of 50 and 70 have lower than normal levels of testosterone. This statistic indicates that up to five percent of all men are at risk for low testosterone states, a staggering number if you think about it. In men, mid-life hormone changes usually begin without notice, especially after the age of forty. Unfortunately, the only obvious result may be the gradual assumption of the appearance of an old man. Andropause, a condition in which the testosterone level slowly declines with age, also decreases a man’s ability to enjoy sex and to develop good quality erections. In addition to experiencing a decrease in sexual desire and erectile dysfunction, men with a lowered testosterone level may also notice changes in mood and emotions, The medical profession has generally believed that, as men age, many of the changes they experience are due to the aging process rather than to hormonal changes such as are seen in women during menopause. In the last several years, and, more specifically, with the development of testosterone in a form that simplifies administration and dose, the understanding of low testosterone in men has changed. Low testosterone: symptoms Symptoms of low testosterone include irritability, weight gain in the wrong places, loss of muscle tone, inadequate erections and poor sexual performance. An additional list of symptoms of low testosterone includes: Erectile dysfunction (problems with erections) loss of libido (low sex drive) Mood disturbances, including depression, irritability and feeling tired Loss of muscle size and strength Osteoporosis (bone thinning) Increased body fat Difficulty with concentration and memory loss Sleep difficulties Men are living longer and are beginning to understand more about the aging process. As this knowledge becomes more available, men will demand treatment for low testosterone to maintain or improve their relationships, have better sex without Viagra and alleviate other symptoms, including osteoporosis and mood disturbances—many of the same problems that occur in aging women. It's important in general for men and women to learn more of themselves and each other as to the gender and its natural processes, It is very much so important, when people have the wide span of age in their relationships, it is important for men to understand the nature of himself, but as well it is good for the woman to understand the nature of man. As it is equally important that the woman understand the nature of herself, and as she ages the understand or herself and the natural nature of agings, as well as for the man to understand the nature of woman and the natural nature of aging of woman. many people avoid subjects of realism, and opt for fantasy, but whether they seek to avoid it or not, the reality and nature of life will continues to be the reality and nature of life. It's best to learn it at a point when one can understand it, rather than trying to figure it out under the emotion stress of confusions and posturing challenges as the realism of aging is and will be natural to all to greater or lesser degree, based solely on the individual. It's another factor that tells people, in their youth, to put effort and investment in building relationships on something far deeper than just the sexual aspects. We see some aged couples who are content and appreciate each other, and some filled with anguish and resentment at the changes they failed to consider as being part within living. |

While at the Grocery Store, I saw both older people, single men, single women and older couples shopping. There were many variables visible, the man moved slow and with very measured pace, and the woman held on to her basket as she appeared very fragile, In both their skin had changed with age, the mans had age spots and the woman had age spots and some of them had the various age growth that appear on their arms, hands, and faces. As they shopped, they moved carefully about the store, they studied the items they purchased and under the economic conditions that impact many, it was very visible the price conscience aspect to their shopping experience. Thing they may once have bought are priced out of range, so they in some case seek brand name changes, which offer a lower unit price. The couples, they seem to discuss the things they purchased, but mostly the man was along for the support of his wife as she did most of the choosing of their products. Another time, I was in a store and talking with a older woman, she was very concerned about getting the things she knew her husband liked. It seems to be the high area of her focus in selections while she was shopping. I think many younger people can gain and benefit and learn a great deal from not just watching older people, but actually talk to them in casual exchanges when you meet them in public. It's amazing how many people walk right past them, never saying hello, never saying anything. But I notice when ever I strike up conversations, not only are they gracious and engaging they have little tid bits of wisdom's they throw into. They have a lifetime of information about many things, and they are often very willing to share information and experiences which can enlighten one about many things. as the above post talks about the male hormone, as well as hints at the female hormone, We have to know in life, what these elements are and what are their high function spans in our life. We may become less anguished as we age about the change in what we do and how we do it. We may not damage or hurt ourselves trying to prove we can still be 20 something, or do something we did when we were younger, that is not the same nor to the same levels as we age. It's all called growing old gracefully.. It is not about giving up or laying down, it is about understanding ones limitations with the nature of aging. I use to love playing basketball, when I got to my late 30's it was easily to realize that I could not run and jump with the 17-18 and early 20 something men. By the time I got to my 40's, it was out of the question of thinking of playing a game with just young men in their 20's, Its just not the same nature of competition. I always felt that basketball could tell a lot about men and the way they played the game. In the youthful days, It was easy to play ball all afternoon, getting a group together and taking on the winner, or if we were the winners, taking on the next comers and the next and etc. Wonderful experience and wonderful times an still there was the energy to go home, take a shower and go do something else, maybe even go dancing later in the night.  Sticking with it over the year may have been one things, but being away from it for years, going back is not a highly likely thing, This is just the flow and nature of living. I see some older people who were runners, they never left the sport and they continue to run into their very advanced age range. they don't do speed running, but they can do various distance running. I work across the street from the YMCA, and watching the young people take off running around the block, they may lap the older people one, two or more times, I see them using the parking lot hills, to grasp weight and run up the hills.. only a few of the older people join them, they can do it but they use less weights, but this is something they stuck with over many years which kept them with some conditioning to do these things.

(News) MOSCOW (AP) — Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke returned to the boxing ring Friday at the age of 62, defeating a fighter less than half his age in an exhibition bout. Rourke sent 29-year-old Pasadena native Elliot Seymour to the canvas twice in the second round before the referee stopped the fight. The bout at a Moscow concert hall was Rourke's first fight in 20 years. He took a break from acting in the early 1990s, finishing a three-year pro boxing career with six wins and two draws. He hinted that the return to the ring has helped him cope with unspecified personal issues. "I've got some things going on in my life so that (boxing has) sort of saved me from myself," Rourke told Russian TV. "And for a man like me, it's better to live in fear than go on in shame." He has said he plans to hold another four fights in Russia.
