All throughout human history, men's sexuality has been kept under wraps. They have been oppressed by society, by societies that deemed it inappropriate for men to express their sexuality freely and publicly. They have been oppressed by themselves, also drummed home to them by societies that dictated this directive. By societies that forced these sort of oppressive social regimes.
Men have been taught to be ashamed of their bodies. They have been shamed into thinking that they should be fully clothed, in all places, at all times.
By monk friar and religious orders.
By polite proprietary society.
By academic societies such as Oxford University, University of Paris, other such established traditional institutions of higher education.
And they witnessed these messages, and took these messages to heart, and unfortunately they ingested and internalized them, to their own detriment. And the men inevitably turned these societal messages into self-imposed limitations and ceilings.
Men have never had such creative outlets, such allowable expressions of freedom and comfort. They have not really ever been given the opportunity, the ability, to express their sexuality.
How often do you hear women talking about a naked beautiful sweet innocent pure man just waiting to be plucked? Women hardly ever do, and this is not a good thing.
Why cannot men be valued for their sexual ability to please and bring happiness to someone else through sensuality? Through sexual talents and skills? Through the pleasure they could potentially bring to women through their bodies? Or even simply through being admired for their physical presence? There is simply no good reason for men's sexuality to be de-valued in this stifling nature.
Even in modern society, men are arrested when they are naked out in public. What are we teaching young boys nowadays when we tell them that it is not okay to be free and liberated, that it is not okay to feel at home, comfortable, and natural in one's own skin?
Here are links to more self-esteem building articles for men.
