What “masculine” expectation do you most wish would vanish from all the minds in western society?

Sexual experience. I’m not a man but I find that tidbit to be so limiting. Some people are just late bloomers but I find in the states there’s this particular pressure to have massive sexual experiences in your teens and twenties. While experience can make for great experiences a man who is willing to communicate with a woman and please her and just she’d like him is more important. Chemistry is just as important. I would’ve missed a great relationship if I listened to what a few acquaintances had told me that experience was important in a man instead of trusting the process and trusting the man. These have been the most wonderful months I’ve had in years and not only do I feel loved but honestly it feels stupid to assume that untried people will be bad at sex. If the chemistry is there the magic will happen eventually. Now I have two friends who went out with untried men and they have been baffled too. Let it be ok for men to not know everything and that they’re growing with us.
