Masculinity fascinates me. As a boy, I felt delicate, scared, and always on the run from any male behavior. Masculinity scared me because it seemed strong, firm, hard. However, I admired men. On sunny days, seeing their tanned and sweaty back. Their deep, rough voices. The hair on his legs, armpit, chest, the hair down his belly and into his pants. Strong, muscular arms. Beards, the serious look, the crude jokes, the interest in sports. Everything that was very masculine fascinated me. I grew up and looked for it, to be like these men were, to feel the strength of masculinity in myself, the pride of having balls. After a long and stressful day, taking off my clothes, lying down with my arm behind my head, feeling the masculine scent that my body exudes, above all feeling my balls and cock in my hand, the texture of the skin, the hair around my manly member, the slow hardening, feeling my penis throb, feeling my balls heave, I feel relaxed, I feel proud to be a man. Every day I try to be more of the man I admired when I was a boy and I admire all the masculinity that many men express. The male naked body is the physical manifestation of virility. – João Homem

  1. As a naturally smooth guy, I would say that I considered myself to be a pretty boy (a young Justin Beiber without the big bucks lol). My brother has a full beard. He had to start shaving young. I never did…and that kinda f’d with my head but I wouldn’t admit it. Being attracted to men (I used to tell myself) was to compare. I still remember a friend in 7th grade. He had full pit hair, face hair, pubes, a happy trail…WTF lol That was more traumatizing than anything lol. I prayed that I would hit puberty and grow my body hair. I am blond so you never really saw it and I can grow a goatee but have NO HAIR on my cheeks (and butt cheeks). The good part is that I look half my real age. When I was younger, everyone assumed that I was gay…and I was lol. I disliked feminine guys (not dislike as humans but meaning that I avoided fem guys when I was younger so that I wouldn’t be bullied. I became a top as a defense and have a big dick so everyone seems to be OK with that lol. However, I would only submit to a hyper-masculine guy that had body hair. I am not sure if I am rambling or conveying my “story”. I like MEN. Real men. Masculine guys. Bro’s. I’d still marry Christian Rinaldo and be exhausted from always having to be the top. And my “agreement” would be that if a guy with scruff or a nice beard wants my ass, I have to bottom lol

  2. Amen brother Joao.
    I had a similar experience as a very young boy.
    I eventually had to give myself permission to be a man.
    And being bullied as a kid gave me my adult fearlessness superpower.
    When our hearts are open, good things can come from bad experiences.
    Peace and HaPenis to all my brothers.

  3. I am also a lover of masculinity and virility, I deeply reject everything that has to do with the feminization of men and everything that has to do with the pathological and distorted ideology of gender identity.

  4. I’m concerned about this generation where boys are growing up influenced and conditioned into feminisation of man. They’ve never learned what manliness is about. The recent generation is blending together both genders, fathers are afraid to become close, as a result penis is being demonised, boys are grow wanting to get rid of it. A society without man is weaker and easier to dictate.

  5. Yep. Spot on. Quite apart from the physical beauty of a grown man’s body, “manliness”I is the essence of who we are. Physical, competent, competitive, earthy, practical, protective. Our bodies are built to be commanding of respect. Broad and hairy, bulky and scary. But there’s a deeply protective and sensitive side also. This mix of brains and brawn, of social and sensual is what holds together families and teams, clubs and nations. Civil society happens where men appreciate themselves and are comfortable being men. That quiet confidence extends to appreciating others and thereby living and let living – cooperating. Seb posted something recently where studies showed men respond to another man’s scent to bring about calm and cooperation within the troupe. This troupe-bonding team work is why I love men. I love being part of that brotherhood. I belong amongst men. Even in old age, men are looking for another man to team up with. To be buddies. Str8 or not, this is always the truth with men and the older I get the more tolerant all men seem to become to the idea of close male bonding.

    1. You just said it all bro! A exuberant body doesn’t make a man masculine. It’s nearly the opposite, the most perfect body guys you see around turned out to be camp and that is totally contradictory whereas an average body man can be insanely attractive just by his manly expression.
      I like men, lads, I like women and girls, each of them offers me different experiences and men are way more simple to hook up with. I consider myself masculine, colleagues say so, I live and work in a masculine environment, my job requires manliness, power and bravery not only for my own sake but for the whole group of men I’m part of. A real man thinks and fights for the whole group, men are loyal to other men.
      Many gay men are essentially feminine, but others decide to dump masculinity, and fight against binary concept, but guess what: they turn their heads when they see a hot straight man.
      Masculinity made Men fight and conquer new lands, freedom and power, creating a society for their people: among them women, children etc. A man would die for his tribe and be honoured. Spartans are a good example.
      So when one criticises the patriarchies, he or she must think again and acknowledge that strength and power were necessary in that stage (still are) Men are dominating because they can afford to be ,
