The silent struggle: men, loneliness and sexual identity
Read in 2 mins
Loneliness, especially for men struggling with their sexual identity, is widespread, almost at epidemic levels if you read the news.
But there is a simple solution: meaningful conversation.
When you are feeling lost and isolated, it is easy to retreat into your own thoughts and fears, creating a vicious cycle of negativity and self-doubt.
However, opening up to a man like me who understands, accepts and appreciates you for who you are can be a welcome light in the darkness of unwanted solitude.
With honest and open communication, you can begin to unravel the tangled web of emotions and insecurities that have been holding you back.
Over the past four decades, I have listened to thousands of bicurious men who have struggled to come to terms with their feelings and desires.
The simple act of listening without judgement or criticism—and without immediately offering solutions—of offering a safe space for men to express themselves helps ease the heavy burden of loneliness and confusion.
As you and I talk together—and with me no topic is taboo—we can explore and discuss your thoughts, hopes, dreams, desires and feelings as openly as you choose. Your secrets are safe with me.
As you gain insights into yourself and your desires, you’ll feel a greater sense of clarity and understanding.
And begin to break free from loneliness as you realise you who you really are, what you most want and how you can achieve your goals.
So, to all the confused bicurious men out there, know that you do not have to be alone. Let’s start a conversation that guides you on your path towards escaping loneliness and finding new friends.
Thank you for creating a safe space for me to talk about my sexual confusion and worries. I feel so much better now I’ve had a chance to sort things out in my head.
