Manhood is the same as "sex with women". This has been the social criteria for manhood for long (although I believe it is arbitrarily fixed).
the rules of manhood changed as follows:
Stage I: masculine qualities like strength, agility, etc.
Stage II: Reproduction
Stage III: Sex with women (till very recent times)
Stage IV: Constant and exclusive sexual desire for women
I want to know how this notion of manhood affects the life of ordinary men (especially in their youth) in their day to day life. What kind of pressures does it create for them, and how does it change their life, life's choices and options.
E.g., when I was in school I would force myself to look at girls all day long since my peer group expected myself to do it. I couldn't careless for sex with girls at that time, but I did it in order to be seen as a 'man'.

Or e.g. someone who knows has sex with any girl who approaches him, whether or not he likes to have sex with her, since he doesn't want to be seen as a namard (f**g*t!).

Ireland,
"Wimps" don't worry about or relate with other men.
Real manhood is about knowing other men, relating with them and relating with men's issues.
Wimps on the other hand relate with women, and their issues, they worry about their sexual concerns......
Unfortunately the western society has fraudulently given these wimps manhood. They give a bad name to manhood and keep the real men from speaking their voice.
Can I have answers from some real men please, not those who think these wimpy roles are made for them.

Damn it, I don't want preaching.......... I know we should not give in to pressures......... but is it possible no!........... it is these pressures that have made us the men that we are today, no one can escape the force of larger social pressures.
And I don't want answers from those lesser men who fit in.
Aren't there any real men, who can give real life answers from their own lives. I want examples of it.

where are you from, or is your grammar that bad? It is hard to understand what you're asking so I'll do my best.
"Manhood" is a time and state when a male reaches full sexual maturity and transitions from boy to man.
Most adult males who have reached manhood will have sex with women, so there is a link between manhood and sex with women.
To answer your question, "how does this act as a pressure on men in their daily life?" - I would imagine that most men (whether they show it or not) are scared to death about sex before they have it for the first time. And boys always put pressure on other boys to talk about girls, including sex. Just note that if you're young and this is going on - most of the "stories" you hear are going to be false...and those that are true really shouldn't concern you.
A man (or boy) should not engage in sex until he is old and mature enough to deal with the consequences of his decision to do so. That is to say most 13-18 year old boys (and really most 20-30 year old 'men') are not in any financial shape to raise a child, so they should keep their penises stored away in their pants and not engage in sex. Wait until you're married and the both of you are ready to bear children in your home.

each and every each and every now and then it rather is actual comical to study the stuff in right here... to declare that a guy's 'manhood' isn't related to having intercourse in any respect, is absurd. And this is thoroughly exciting while people throw in the social build concept with it... and if this replace into the case, we does no longer be alive immediately. this is to no longer say that a guy is so, based completely on having intercourse, as there are a number of things that make adult males such. Doing what's suited, sticking up for his kinfolk, coaching his little ones how an grownup ought to act, etc are equivalent issues. yet lower back, having intercourse does have some concerning being human in many circumstances. we are survivors. We consistently facilitate the libido, this is our will to stay to tell the story. Having intercourse is particularly lots area of being a guy, because it rather is healthful.

The idea that real "manhood" has anything to do with sex is a myth among boys. Sex is easy, animals do it all the time, and it takes no real skill to knock up a girl.
Real Manhood has a lot more to do with what a guy does outside of the bed.

Doing anything to just belong to the group demonstrates the actions of an adolescent not and adult. Adults, men and women, act (or do not act) on their own wants, needs, and convictions. The thought that having sex "proves" anything should only bring laughter as it only demonstrates the lack of self exploration - physically, socially, and spiritually.
"To your own self be True" : Don't allow your peers to place you in a situation you could regret and if you have before don't repeat it.

Well, there are some guys who want to have sex because they enjoy it. However, in your case, like you said, you did it just because you wanted to be accepted by your peers. I am not a man but it seems like you just wanted to be accepted by the people you, in a way, look up to and it's natural. Everyone does thing just so they won't feel left out. & listen to Dr. Robe.

Didn't affect me at all.
I want to get laid because it feels good, not because it would enhance my self image and make me feel studly.
