In recent years, attention has been given to clarifying and understand
ing whether a phenomenon occurs among men similar to the biological an
d psychological aspects of menopause in women. This article reviews th
e primary literature, summarizes basic physiological and psychological
features of aging for men, and discusses the implications for sexuali
ty and sexual function. We conclude that while there is no definitive
evidence that a male menopause exists, important changes occur for man
y men which require adjustment, adaptation, and personal growth.
