Hormonal fluctuations

I tend to have distinct fluctuations in libido level through the course of a year. I might have absolutely no libido for a week or two, no morning wood etc. Following that I will have the opposite - frequent morning wood, strong sex drive. I’m sure this is common among many men. I suspect the fluctuations have become more distinct as I have gotten older (for example, in my early twenties there were no fluctuations.. I’m 31 now).

I’m posting this thread to see if any of the Thunders members have any insight into why the fluctuations occur? Why doesn’t the body find an equilibrium, or sit at a single level instead of fluctuating? Any ideas?

I believe that hormone levels are affected by seasons. Your highest testosterone levels will be in the fall, when there is a greater need to procreate. I believe there is also a boost in the spring.

I’ve noticed my libido really kicks into overdrive just before my wife has her period. I have to believe it is a pheromonal phenomena. So, I see monthly variations. Had anyone else seen this pattern?

I’ve noticed this pattern also. Just before her monthly she is more likely to be horny. At these times my body seems to rise to the occasion, particularly in the middle of the night!
