Vulnerability and Why it's so Important

[caption id="attachment_262" align="aligncenter" width="282"] Vulnerability Does Not Mean an Achilles Heel.[/caption]

Vulnerability is often misunderstood & confused by men with neediness; nothing could be further from the truth. It's possible to be vulnerable to others without losing parts of yourself. By doing this, you'll be able to restore your faith in love, trust, and intimacy.

While self-sufficiency and autonomy can help us weather the storms of life, they can also rob us of true intimacy. For a relationship to be balanced, partners must be able to depend on one another and feel that they are needed and appreciated for the support they give.

The video below discusses the difference between neediness and vulnerability. Regrettably, it focuses on male-female relationships, as do most discussions of love and relationship. I do find that if we get over the hetero bias of the speaker, we can apply what he is saying very easily to our gay relationships. I find the concepts he discussed to be very important in understanding the concept of vulnerability.

Homoerotic Beauty: Legendary Male Lovers

Image
During my studies in seminary, one of my professors in pastoral counseling introduced a new trend: we each had to choose a fiction book or novel and report on the characters’ psychology and make our recommendations for diagnosis and for treatment. At the time I was not practicing homoerotic Tantra, of course, so I chose a wonderful book, “Birds without Wings,” by Louis De Bernières. Briefly, the book is the story of a small coastal town in South West Anatolia in the dying days of the Ottoman Empire told in the richly varied voices of the people - Christians and Muslims of Turkish and Greek and Armenian descent - whose lives are rooted there, intertwined for untold years. There is Iskander, the potter and local font of proverbial wisdom; Karatavuk - Iskander's son - and Mehmetcik, childhood friends whose playground stretches across the hills above the town, where Mehmetcik teaches the illiterate Karatavuk to write Turkish in Greek letters. There are Father Kristoforos and Abdulhami

Homoerotic Tantra:Mascul-IN-Touch How to Create a WordPress User Account The  Homoerotic Tantra:Mascul-IN-Touch  is a restricted website that requires authorization to access the content. This is necessary because the content is adult in nature and not intended for the general public. WordPress  requires that persons interested in requesting access to a “private” site to have a WordPress username and that involves a very short process of creating a  WordPress  account. I do apologize for this small inconvenience but it is not my choice; it’s  WordPress  policy. First go to  https://wordpress.com/start/user . You will be sent to a page where you will enter your account information. Creating the account and username is free. Give some thought to what you want to use as a username. Once you are granted access, I will send you a number of Sanskrit names and ask you to choose one that you will use as a  Homoerotic Tantra:Mascul-IN-Touch  disciple. That will be the name by which you will be

Penetration and Transfiguration: Entering Your Partner's Sacred Sanctuary. How We Should Approach the Homoerotic Tantric Session. [caption id="attachment_542" align="aligncenter" width="685"] Open Yourself to Infinite Horizons! [/caption] When we see the word "penetrate" we see a word that means control, a violence. Penetration is forced entry into a space; there's nothing loving or gentle about it. It's wrongfully associated with masculinity for no good reason. Penetration, control, violence, brutality has no place in erotic expression between two men. Please note: The complete article has been moved to the Homoerotic Tantra:Mascul-IN-Touch website .
