The good things. The bad things. The weird and wonderful things. Whatever it may be, topics of sex and sexuality are fatally underdiscussed by most guys. For many years of our lives, sex and our understanding of ourselves as sexual beings seems to hold a mysterious, vaulted nature until that split second when we’re suddenly supposed to be experienced, know who we are and what we want.
The stats speak for themselves: Barely 34% of UK adults report a satisfactory sex life, and 25% of men who seek ED care are less than 40 years old, and of the more than one million US citizens with HIV, a fifth don’t know they have it. Confusion around sexual/gender orientation can further exasperate this problem, with few clear numbers on how many identified genders there are. Though it appears to hang around 24 – including transsexual, non-binary, agender – there is likely many more to surface. For the most common non-straight sexualities, 5.6% of surveyed people in the US identify as LGBT, with many people coming out with their LGB orientation at around 18 to 20 years old.
The point is, many, many dudes have questions and thus need answers, and be it a lack of education or a surplus of taboo, too many don’t get them.
