The Need for an Expanded Conversation on Male Sexuality
Many men often view their sexuality through a narrow lens, focusing solely on sin and behavior, such as lust or abstinence. This limited perspective neglects a more profound understanding of male sexuality and the importance of meaningful conversations about sexual formation. Men frequently lack safe spaces for sharing their struggles, contributing to the idea that masculinity is over-sexualized yet under-sexually nurtured. Addressing this gap can involve opening discussions that go beyond surface-level reactions to sexuality, leading to a more mature understanding and healthier expressions of sexual identity.
