Changes in male sex roles

If we look around in the last 30-40 years , we see significant changes in male and female sex roles. In 1950 and 60s the roles of both sexes were pretty much fixed and stagnant but now we can see dramatic changes. The present society has almost challenged the roles of men and forced them to reevaluate "old" or "traditional" notions of manhood and masculinity. Now, this led to confusions among men.

Why would you be a "Macho man" ?

Traditional stereotypes of what it means to be a man (e.g., John Wayne, Rambo) emphasized the importance of males being "sturdy oaks" ? They needed to be strong, independent, inflexible, emotionless, and often, violent. The roles were clear: work hard, provide for your family, be the "boss", don't get emotionally close to anyone, etc. Not showing any vulnerability was central to this role. This position suited to most men and they were able to see complete picture of manhood. Their essence of "manhood" and "the complete man" was highly emphasized upon. It is still so and the men considr their penis to be an identification of menhood and that is why we have desire of penis enlargement or male enhancement.

But as times changed, we see newer definintions of what it takes to be a man. Men tend to be less rigid and clear and less strict in the defining manhood. Males are now often encouraged to share childcare duties and financial responsibility for their families.They have to show emotions and react to sensitive (rather feminine) issues. They have to be open emotionally. New role models of masculinity stress upon strength and vulnerability. It's a dilemma for the "real man" inside most of us.

So, how does that affect "the men" ?

The male sexuality theories revolve around how men are losing power and stamina. The reason for the vulnerablity of the "manhood" and manly attributes (whether physical, mental or spiritual) are supposed to be the very outcome of the changed perceptions of mankind. Had men not been anxious in present times, they won't have seen problems like "premature ejaculation". Most experts agree that one of the primary reasons for male problems like "premature ejaculation" , sexual dysfunction and impotence are psychological based. In other words , mental inferiority leads to physical inferiority and decline in manhood and manly attributes.

Why men need to concentrate on their stamina?

When we name stamina, we think of a power that drives us physically. The real male stamina is something comes from mental toughness and enhances the physical world and reality of a man.  Crises in relationships, whatever the cause be, are supposed to be faults of men. It was so in the past and something in the society makes it a fact to be followed in the future as well. To live a satisfactorily successful life in today's fast paced world men need to change themselves. The vulnerability has to be gone. Once it is done and sexual and spiritual stamina revived, men will see success in all facets of life. It's high time that men shouldn't afford to be vulnerable and victims of societal norms that blame men for not performing up to the mark.
