No actually when I had s***I realized that I had been missing out and felt proud of myself for finally becoming a normal guy
Everyone's different
Which is kinda my point really, u can't generalize about men so simply

you did feel any social validation before having sex?

I was pretty socially successful but it all pales in comparison to being physically desired

Same lol, people had me scared that s*** was gonna be an awful, worthless experience but I was like nah, that was fire, glad I was able to do that.
It's sad that KTT is becoming an echo chamber. Or maybe I'm just getting older and seeing it for what it really is. I understand where OP is coming from, and have empathy for the guy that made the other thread.

Which probably reinforces the point that he just has low self esteem.

i stg theres never been this many threads about men and masculinity until the last couple years
so annoying
I was responding to the general sentiment of the thread, not anyone specifically.
I basically agree with everything you’re saying, especially as it relates to men wanting s***as a means of validation.
I’ll push back a little on the idea that s***can be substituted effectively by any number of ego fulfilling activities tho. I consider myself to be something of a creative genius, and I still crave validation from sex. It’s not something I’m happy about. But it doesn’t go away because I wrote a fire poem. What’s ultimately helped me is realizing that genuinely liking another person is the way to go. Before, I’d want to have s***with people I don’t actually care about, but it’s very difficult to do that while still presenting an honest self and intentions.
Yeah I didn't mean to generalize the bit about s***as interchangeable for everyone, because we're all different. I have a high s***drive but I don't actually view s***as being emotionally fulfilling in the same way that romance and intimate conversation are. I need those things more. I'm polyamorous and crave a lot of different connections, but not necessarily sex. However, I realize that isn't the same for everyone.
I've been in counseling with my wife since April and we're working through what's called a needs assessment where we set priorities and expectations for sex, attraction, recreation, domestic help, etc and it's really eye opening to see how much we take each other's needs for granted because we assume everyone is like us.
