Deep dives

Reconnecting with Masculine Sexuality

Temptations and desires are often viewed negatively, but they can represent an invitation for men to reconnect with their sexuality. Many men tend to disown their sexual desires, pushing them into the shadows, which may stem from cultural or personal shame associated with their sexuality. By exploring these feelings with curiosity rather than avoidance, men can find opportunities for healing and integration within themselves. Addressing the underlying issues tied to these desires allows for a more authentic connection to one’s sexuality, emphasizing that being aware of and engaging with these feelings is essential for personal growth.
