27M. I grew up in a family which was strictly conservative muslim. Since childhood sex was a sin and shameful act. I tried to overcome it and I am not religious at all. I had many sexual partners .The moments that I truly feel like the real "me" are the times that I have a relationship with someone or having sex.
There is a part of me that wants to explore more experiences women, wild things and only have sexual relationship like fb or fwb. No more than anything sexual. I am not a nice guy. I have borders and never tolerate disrespect. I am not afraid of escalation on a date or approaching a woman. But the problem is, all my act is coming from my mind. All of is a thought processing . I do not feel the sexuality inside me. I do not feel sexual at all. Yet all I think is women all the time yet still do not feel myself as a sexual person. I can't show my sexual energy. I do believe I am a masculine man but only this area of my life I do not feel it. This realization started with a girl that I had relationship with, she said while we are doing the "deed" : "your all personality changes when you are in bed, you become a very sexy man". After the session, I think about this all the time and it was correct. My whole energy changes. I do not feel sexy outside of bed. In normal life I mean, maybe not sexually confident. But I do not have any performance issues. Just the feeling of a sexual being.
My dreams are sexual, full of desire. My pre-dominant thoughts are about women and sexuality(nothing pyscho). I had porn addiction , I am successfully overcoming it. I used to think it was the cause. Now, I am free of it but still I do not feel the sexual essence of my being and I believe and feel that it is all in my shadow. Because when I have a partner that I can explore and experience sexuality, I am a whole different person. A man, a hunter, successful , charismatic, charming. I am a happy person most of the time. I want to know how to feel like a sexual being. I feel like I am roleplaying a sexual being not living it.
I am curious about your thoughts and open to any idea or book suggestion. Thank you.

So you're basically saying that you do not feel like a man outside of fucking.
This is a mental thing. Obviously get rid of your religious bias and beliefs, or at least update them based on red pill modern reality in 2024, not 630.
Religion will kill your libido, sexuality and identity like nothing else, specially if you grew up indoctrinated. Religion and Church are not your friends in 2024, but not your enemies either.
Start doing things that make you feel more manly. Gym, unapologetically checking out chicks that you find attractive, not like a fucking creep, but you know, the manly way.
You have heavy sexual shame. This is all because of your religious indoctrination background. Religion makes you gay if you let it. Most religious guys are closet gays and porn addicted wankers because of their repressed sexuality. This does not have to be you.
Move the fuck out of your environment if this takes a toll on you.

WTF does that even mean?
Do you prance around in a mini-skirt and high heels until you get with a chick?

Maybe you're gay? Yes, I'm being serious here.

This is fucking retarded.
So let me get this straight: You want to explore sexually. You have a girl that you're fucking and you want to fuck more women. You have lust and and feel sexual when you're having sex. But you don't feel sexual when you're doing non sexual shit... We call that normal.
What kind of problem do you want to have? We can make up some bullshit that's more reasonable for you to bitch about. This problem is not a valid one. Try again.

I personally think you're looking into it too deeply.
Society has evolved to not act out our primitive desires publicly, otherwise we'd all be having sex and killing prey out in the open like wild animals. We've evolved past our caveman times and now we do these things behind closed doors lol.

Are you talking about feeling masculine when you say "sexuality?
I am thinking that sex is just one part of a man's identity and that it doesn't really make sense if it takes over all he does. You can't be a walking hard on -at least not more than the odd moment when its appropriate. No animal can be thinking about mating all the time. To do so would be become very vulnerable and would actually stop it being successful in life.
So becoming sexy in bed suggests sex is being enjoyed at the right time but did she mean that you simply were not coming over as attractive, as positively masculine when you were out of bed? If so that is probably about feeling and projecting your masculine energy more. This usually happens when we enjoy our masculine energy more, when we simply feel glad to be a man.
If you have been raised in a conservative religious house you are usually raised to be very self controlled. This is partly because you were always taught to walk the straight path, not to invoke the anger of god and not to stray -basically surah al-fatiha in all you do. It is also partly because when you discover you are a rebel religiously and don't want to walk the straight path between religion's electric fences, you then you become self contained and know you have to keep your heart secret from your family or you will upset them.
I think most of us are most attractive when we are ourselves and project our own energy positively. This can be harder for one who was raised in a strict religious house -when to let it all out and when to keep it all in. Oddly the path of moderation is actually the right path here but if one has grown up keeping it all in one is not calibrated for moderation only fast or feast.
One also has to consider why one's parents were so attracted to religion. Is it something innate about liking to control oneself. How much of that strength/weakness has one inherited? What to do about that?
One suggestion I would make is learning to do and say what you like -with moderation. Being true to yourself in a way that is balanced, situationally appropriate but authentic. This can be quite hard if one has grown up looking to outside rules to regulate oneself by or to hide from. In excess religion you are are basically a slave with all a salve's weakness and vices but with the consolation that you are protected by a powerful master who will reward you. You need to become the master yourself. You need to feel sovereign in your life as a man. No king lasts long if he just does as he pleases but he is sovereign and holds the power of decision and action in everything he does. You need to practise feeling in control of your masculinity, not either holding it in check or letting it run wild. This tends to make you maximise how sexy you are.

This is exactly what I meant. I do not feel my masculine energy outside of sexual situations.

Likewise, i don't really understand the post.
Are you saying you see bangable women and just don't even have it in your to approach them (act on wanting them), don't want women when you see them out in about, breaking out of a mundane mold of niceties and proper decorum to go approach a girl and instantly vibe and set a man to woman tone?
Not sure what you mean. I assume that's what you mean but it really isn't clear enough

Becaytiu don't believe in yourself or what? When I see an attractive woman and I am in a good mood and feel capable it makes me want to approach. Do you not believe in yourself? The thought of interacting with women doesn't even cross my mind if I don't feel right one day
