Thanks, I do appreciate your answers. I agree we should achieve self-actualization, but is being comfortable with ourselves and having confidence enough? I'm doubtful. If I were confident with my masculinity all along, I would not have started working out or even having sex. I would have believed in saving sex until marriage. I can be satisfied with myself, ignore my desires and live like a monk, but is that good for me? It may sound cliche, but you only live once. If I can't even get my ego fed, I don't think I can go beyond and achieve self-actualization.
I'm actually curious, are there other ways to build confidence in and validate our masculinity and virility? | |
