Accept your body and sexuality without shame from "summary" of The New Male Sexuality by Bernie Zilbergeld

It is important for men to embrace their body and sexuality without feeling shame or embarrassment. This means accepting oneself completely and valuing one's physical and sexual self without judgment or criticism. Many men struggle with body image issues and feel pressured to conform to unrealistic standards of beauty and masculinity. However, by accepting their bodies as they are and recognizing that all bodies are unique and valid, men can cultivate a sense of self-compassion and self-acceptance. In order to accept their bodies and sexuality without shame, men must confront and challenge the societal norms and expectations that contribute to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. This requires unlearning harmful beliefs and attitudes about masculinity, sex, and body image, and instead embracing a more inclusive and affirming perspective. By rejecting toxic messages that promote shame and self-hatred, men can create a healthier and more empowering relationship with their bodies and sexuality. It is also important for men to explore and understand their own desires, preferences, and boundaries when it comes to sexuality. This involves being honest and open with oneself about one's sexual needs and desires, as well as communicating effectively with partners about what feels good and comfortable. By prioritizing consent, respect, and pleasure in sexual interactions, men can foster a more positive and fulfilling sexual experience that is free from shame or guilt.
  1. Accepting one's body and sexuality without shame is a personal and ongoing journey that requires self-reflection, self-compassion, and self-care. By cultivating a sense of self-worth and self-acceptance, men can build confidence and resilience in the face of societal pressures and expectations. Embracing one's body and sexuality with love and respect is a radical act of self-love that can lead to greater authenticity, joy, and fulfillment in all areas of life.
