Ok so basically I've been living with my boyfriend for about a year and I found that he has a pattern similar to my menstrual cycles, except that they seem to revolve around sex. I'd like guys to read it and to think about if they have similar experiences because I'm wondering if men have similar hormonal cycles to women (but with different hormones/concentrations of course).
He seems to have periods where he's always really happy, cheerful, considerate, interested, does things for me and for other people etc. In those periods he's also always really horny and wants sex.
Unlike the menstrual cycle though, those cycles can be started and terminated with sex. As soon as he gets satisfied sexually, he goes into a mode of quietness. He's less interested in helping around in the house, he becomes more grumpy in the morning and more snappy, and he also becomes more of a workaholic. After a while he gradually enters the first stage of the cycle again (horny and happy lol).
Now I'd like to stress that these changes are very subtle and he's not bipolar or anything. I only noticed them after a very long time of living with him. I'm 100% sure it isn't conscious because he's generally a considerate guy even when he has the "grumpy" periods.
I was just really interested in hearing from guys. Do you find you have similar mood changes? I'm wondering if men have hormonal cycles similar to women, but without the periods.
