Gay culture has historically idolized traditional masculinity in the context of societal norms, which includes traits like physical strength, assertiveness, and stoicism. But we must remember that there isn't a single, fixed definition of masculinity. While some embrace traditional concepts of masculinity, others may lean towards more non-conforming presentations. Lately, there has been a growing acceptance of the fact that gender expression and sexual orientation are distinct aspects of identity. In this episode, we're exploring our personal expression of masculinity by answering questions such as:What does masculinity mean to you? What's the difference between toxic masculinity and healthy masculinity?In what ways has societal conditioning shaped how you relate to your own masculinity?How do you express your masculinity?HostsMichael DiIorioMatt LandsiedelReno JohnstonWatch this ep on YouTubeTake the Attachment Style Quiz!- Connect with us -Join the private Facebook community including access to monthly group Zoom callsTake our "Building Better Relationships" courseTake our "Healing Your Shame" courseCoaching Collection - Get lifetime access to 2 courses, 45 coaching videos, and 2 workshop seriesFollow us on InstagramGayMenGoingDeeper.comSupport the Show - viewer and listener support helps us to continue making episodes
