Masked Man 18/100: The Jovial Man Miss Amanda Chen Show
-
- Mental Health
Hello and welcome back to the Miss Amanda Chen Show. I’ve got some new episodes for the 100 Masked Men series, where I anonymously interview different men from all walks of life about dating, sex, gender roles, and the meaning of masculinity. This week we’re talking about why some guys stay single and what they’re really looking for in a relationship.
Masked Man #18 is the Jovial Man. An absolute hoot to be around, I totally understand why everyone is so attracted to his energy. But relationships were never much of a thing in his life. He’s never had a girlfriend and he didn’t even have sex until he was over 30.
He shares his story on growing up in the Middle East, moving to Toronto and adjusting to the hustle mentality, boys locker room talk, and the unhealthy addiction behind porn and masturbation.
I think what’s very interesting to hear about is how guys talk to each other about sex, but make sure to separate that from feelings. And the fear, at least for this guy, about how his male friends might see him differently after being vulnerable in front of them. I mean, if you can’t even do it in front of your best friends, how on earth would you be comfortable in an intimate relationship? I got questions. Let’s get into it.
This man definitely has an unpopular opinion here when he says that sex isn’t that big of a deal and is actually glad he waited till he was mature enough to practice it, in contrast with some of the other guys we’ve had on the show who said sex was the highlight of high school locker room chat. But what are your thoughts on the subject? Could you relate with him, or do you think we’re missing on some other details?
As always make sure to subscribe and if you’d like to be on the show or know of someone with a unique perspective, slide into my DMs at missamandachen on Instagram and see you next Wednesday with more episodes of 100 Masked Men.
