Many thanks -- would appreciate hearing what the current thinking is.
I'd hazard that the term has been around for a long time. My first
exposure to it was back in the '50s when someone was relating prize
fight losses to a 28day cycle in males that was particularly strong
during their years of max Testosterone. Strictly a statistical game.
Second pitch I recall was during the "biorhythm" era (late '60s & early
'70s) --all life was divided into three cycles (emotional, physical and
something else that I don't remember.) The Male Menopause gang was
pitching, one more time, that these cycles had their greatest swing in
both males and females before 'menopause.' That line of thinking
fizzled out when biorhythm programs were on everyone's desktop and palm
computer. My suspicion is that everyone tried plotting that stuff and
found out it wasn't working for them. (Our local NFL team hired a
biorhythm guru and only kept her for one season -- suspect it didn't
work for them either.)
Since male 'T' decline is a gradual thing, most of the menopause
adherents have a problem defining the 'demise.' The 'tipping point'
crowd hasn't postulated their theory yet. (Or, I haven't been doing
enough reading.)
I can't get WLS-TV out here in SoCal so would appreciate hearing what
the current pitch is. If there's any 'sole source' fountain-of-youth
stuff that costs more than $ 1.98 you can leave that out. (:-)
