Fact #7: Knowledge Is Power Accurate and realistic knowledge about men’s bodies and male sexuality is crucial. Sexual health for men involves understanding physical, psychological,and relationship factors. Being realistic and thinking accurately about your body and your sexual function is a crucial component of sexual health. Th is is essential because the public presentation of sex has nearly no relationship to the truth. Th e media, marketing, and public discourse is about getting your attention more than teaching you the truth about sex in real people’s lives. Th is is a major problem and one of the most important motivations for our writing this book. You also need a good understanding of your emotional life. It is important to understand the diff erences between your sex drive (“feeling horny”) and positive and negative emotions like anxiety, loneliness, enjoyment, or pride in a job success.

All energy in the body is not sexual energy, although there is a tendency for men to interpret a variety of emotions as sexual and try to manage their emotions by sexualizing them. For example, most men have masturbated to relieve anxiety or stress. You also need to understand what healthy sexual behaviors are. Men care about sexual performance. Sexual function (performance) for men is fundamental, and to dismiss this important component of male sexuality is self-defeating. We’ll coach you how to put sexual function into perspective; otherwise, it becomes a huge barrier to sexual pleasure, sexual acceptance, and relationship intimacy.
