I have a lot of sympathy for men. I think they put up with a lot. The way they are portrayed on tv shows as bumbling idiots who can’t use a washing machine even though practically every machine ever invented was invented by a man. The unconscious manner in which women joke about them and put them down. The way it's seemingly ok for women to objectify men but god forbid a man even looks too long at a woman.
Sexual Self Esteem is how a woman feels about herself in relation to matters of sex, how much she knows about herself sexually, and about the feminine mysteries of her own body, her ability to flow freely and enjoy sex, to know what she wants and to have clear boundaries. A woman with high sexual self confidence is attractive to men, or whoever she wants to relate with.
We certainly live in a sex-saturated society, but it is far from a sex-positive culture. Sexual energy is the most profound and powerful source of energy available to us, yet it has been deeply misunderstood, under-utilised and suppressed. Sex itself is often misused. Sexual healing is necessary to reclaim what is natural to us and what has gone missing.
Almost everyone who's come of age in our sex negative culture needs loving guidance in adulthood in order to reach their full sexual potential. Genital armoring initially occurs when children are shamed or discouraged from touching their genitals, enjoying their bodies through masturbation and engaging in natural exploration with peers. It can also result from invasive medical interventions, insensitive or unskilled partners, rough handling, overuse of vibrators, emotional trauma, and from unfulfilling lovemaking.
