My guess: A lot of “Perverted” men think they are perverted because all the girls they’ve talked to so far have gone “eeeew” when they mention anything like a blowjob.
They have then concluded that they must be perverted for wanting to try such depravities.

Men have unique insecurities that are a result of socital expectations. We gaslight ourselves into conforming to a certain expected behavior. Many, if not most cishet men are afraid to explore their sexuality beyond that which is considered the heteronormative standard. Men are victims of the patriarchy as are everyone else.

Yep. I find the major thing holding me back from most kinks is exactly that; insecurity.

For what it’s worth, you’re not alone.

And the corrollary to that, that even less people want to talk about, is that straight, traditional cis men and women will then mock and shame men who actually do try think outside the box.
So, many men are victims of patriarchy, and many women are perpetrators of patriarchy.
Then you get to the incredibly confusing ‘now’, where many women will claim to be a feminist, yet will also mock and shame men who do not conform to stereotypical male lifestyle/relationship norms.
Actual feminism vs Pop feminism.
Actual feminism seeks to identify and challenge and critique societal gender roles and norms. All societal gender roles and norms.
Pop feminism is basically psuedo (meaning ‘impostor’ or ‘fake’) feminism, that pretty much just boils down to misandry, using a set of buzzwords and terms basically bastardized from actual feminism.

For exploring sexuality?

As a cishet man, much to the contrary - the vast majority of my sexual insecurities come from shaming of my sexuality from more left wing spaces.

In what way? Genuinely curious.
