Sorry, you're still not a man.

If you've ever watched cable television past 11pm, (or listened to certain radio stations) then you know what I'm talking about when I say that a good proportion of society's idea of masculinity has to do with size and sexual performance. I am an avid fan of the NFL Network, (which relies on a mostly male audience,) but when I watch it late at night, it seems as though every other commercial is for enzyte or extenze or some other "all natural male enhancement" or "performance enhancer" or product for better stamina or performance. It seems as though you're not a man if you aren't great in the sack.

As far as society is concerned, sex is everything, and if a man can't deliver in bed, then he's not really a man. And if you're not banging multiple chicks, you're not a man, and if you're not blah blah blah. I really can't stand any of it anymore, as if the United States isn't already so obsessed with sex. All day everyday it seems to be all we hear about, so if you're not gettin' any, then well, you get the picture.

Of course, there's the double standard in effect as well. A man really isn't a man unless he's a man-whore, but if you happen to be a promiscuous lady, then you're just a dirty slut. What is that all about? Just as it's unfair to judge a woman for having too much sex, it's not fair to judge a man for not having enough. But, society says you're not a man if you aren't getting any.

(But don't think that if you are getting any that makes you a man, because if you're not big enough, and you don't please the ladies, then you're still not a man, sorry.)
