Is it considered toxic masculinity if men tell other men they're not a real man if they don't have sex with lots of women?

Question

JacobJordan · Accepted Answer

Hell if I know. I have been intimate with 1 woman. I have 3 children, have been all over the world in and out of combat zones. I am likely more of a "real man" than most guys who have spent years "fucking those fine ass bitches"

For me the biggest indicator of a "real man" is how one carries themselves. Do they have to boast all the time or do they share it like the weather when it comes up. I generally refrain my sharing until situations like this where it is actually worth mentioning.

I have a real problem with this idea of "not a real man". As determined by who? Under what criteria? And if you're not real, what are you, a woman? Don't get involved in the "I'm more masculine than you" sweepstakes, it's always a loser.

It's definitely toxic, but I would not consider it masculinity. Being promiscuous and irresponsible has nothing to do with masculinity.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

By the original definition, absolutely.
Feminists have co-opted the term though. It’s increasingly about what women don’t like about men, and has almost nothing to do with how men hurt themselves. They absolutely refuse to accept that there’s toxic femininity in women raising boys to become self loathing and self destructive.

Miristheiss · Answer

There is no such thing as toxic masculinity. Quit eating up the BS of made up terms they keep trying to add to the societal verbiage.  A person can be toxic.  Masculinity or femininity are not toxic.

If a random geezer was to take an interest in my love life, I'd think he was batting for the wrong side, and I'd ask what the *uck it had to do with him!!!

Yes. It's also a sign of extreme fucktardiness and fuckwittery on their part. Last time someone said that to me I suggested he might meet someone nice at the local STD clinic...

IceCreamSandwich · Answer

Yes. Doing toxic things in the name of masculinity is "toxic masculinity."

ManlyMan111 · Answer

Men nowadays are not real men to being with, men are taught that they can cry and do feminine things when in all reality men need to be strong and stop being such sissies, and a man who doesn't have sex with a woman clearly has no manhood.

Yeah being masculine has nothing to do with how many sexual partners you have had

Alex-Snow · Answer

Yeah... why guys do that I'll never know... everyone is different and we all should respect that

DrPepper12 · Answer

Yes. Quantity means nothing but variety of experiences. No need to be boastful about how many notches in your bedpost

I thought it was the Bar Mitzvah that turns a boy into a man.

DextroShade · Answer

I don't believe in toxic masculinity, as that's just a misandrist term made up by feminists to shame men for anything they don't like.

A real man doesn't give in to desires so easily
