It’s Not Just A Female Thing: Is Your Fella Suffering From PMS?

Are you ready for the best news we’ve ever heard? It turns out that PMS is no longer an affliction that is exclusive to the female sex. Oh no.

Ladies, a noted scientist and a team of researchers have discovered that fellas have their own version of it too and it’s called IMS (we hope that stands for ‘Irritable Male Syndrome.’)

Anyway, Dr Gerard Lincoln initially observed the wonder of IMS in male sheep. Apparently, when the animals’ testosterone levels fell, their mood tended to fall right along with it. They became irritable, depressed, frustrated, easily annoyed and disinterested in sex.

Dr Lincoln had an epiphany when he realised that this type of behaviour wasn’t just happening in sheep. After a few quick tests on human males, he discovered that it was happening to them too.

At certain times of the month, he's likely to be a bit hard to deal with...

According to Dr Lincoln, during certain times of the month a man’s testosterone levels fall. When this happens you can expect him to suffer from a number of symptoms that are suspiciously like PMS.

Granted, you’ll probably never find him weeping over an episode of Animal Rescue or crying because he can’t open the jar of Nutella that’s in the press, but you could find that he’s crankier than usual, not that bothered about having sexy time and picking fights with you over everything.

Sadly, like PMS, there is nothing you can really do about IMS. All you can do is hope and pray that the two of your aren’t going through your respective syndromes at the same time because honestly? It sounds like a recipe for disaster...
