It Comes in Waves

[lovepre]

I have a problem where I will go a few days to almost a week and not get an erection. I will then go to a phase where I want sex 24/7 and get hard constantly. This will go on for three or four days to maybe a week. In this high sexuality arousal period, I can not get enough. I self-suck two–three times a day. At the same time I will be having sex with my wife as often as she would agree. It is almost un-controllable lust.

When I was young, I did not notice this cycle. But when I got in my mid to late thirties, I started to see a difference in my libido that was totally unrelated to all the outside influences of my sex life. I started keeping a log of this up and down in sex desire. I thought it might be related to foods I eat sometimes, (you know what they say about oysters). What about alcohol, sleep, exercise, did these things cause the effect? I knew that when I did a lot physical activity I seemed to be hornier afterwards. I recorded everything in this “Hornie Log”. And it did not take long to notice that this high libido happened, almost to the day, once a month, at around about the 23rd-25th of each month. I would also have a small one sometimes in-between at around the 13th – 15th.... I knew that women had monthly cycles, but do men? I did some research, and this is what I found out. Men have cycles like women, and by the way, pills and natural remedies can’t make you have them more often, or make them last longer. And they don’t save-up, if you don’t take advantage of them while you are in one, it will pass and you will miss out.

As far back as the seventeenth century, the Italian scientist Sanctorius weighed men daily over long periods of time and discovered that men underwent a monthly weight change of about one or two pounds. More recently, a Danish endocrinologist kept daily records of hormones excreted in his urine. When analyzed, those records showed that his hormones rose and fell in roughly a thirty-day rhythm. Interestingly, beard growth also shows a rhythm of approximately thirty days; in other words, the amount of beard a man grows daily increases and decreases in a monthly cycle. During the high period of their cycles, men have more energy, a greater sense of well-being, lower body weight, and less need for sleep.

Testosterone levels in both men and women reach their yearly peak in late summer and fall. Testosterone is one of the androgens, or so-called male hormones, that have a direct effect on sexual behavior. They are present in women as well as in men. Nature may have intended it this way to ensure that the weather and food supply would be amenable to delivering and nourishing a newborn baby.

I did find that sometime in September, October or November I would have a least one spell of super super horniness. Never sucked another man’s dick, but when I do it will probably be on the 23rd-25th of September, October, or November.

Could you make it the 16th of October, cause that’s my birthday!

Seriously though, lifestyle plays a big part in creating our moods and how we perform, none more so than alcohol! Also getting older has an effect, so don’t be surprised if your libido is less than it used to be. If you’re finding it a big problem though perhaps you need professional help/advise. From what you write, I gather you don’t get a morning wood during your down days, either; would you get one otherwise? Woods are normally associated with testosterone production that occurs at that part of the day.

Great stuff! It makes sense to me that we'd have cycles like women since we all start out essentially female in the womb and are really more alike than we are different. I imagine that, like everything else, it probably varies a good deal from man to man. I've never noticed the cycles myself but I'll keep an eye out for'em now!

I have observed cycles too, but with moon phases. My strongest sexual desire comes just after the full and new moons. If I see the full or new moons, I can't help but think about selfsucking, and usually can't resist it either. Anyone else sensitive to moon phases? Eddie

Yes, I noticed years ago that I am affected by the moon phases. I get especially horny just before the full moon. My libido is at it's lowest point around the new moon phase. Many people probably don't agree but I know my own body. I can almost tell without looking at the calendar that the moon is almost full, just by how I feel.
