Crying men

[Ri****]

No. Natural reaction to joy, sadness, relief or trauma.

I have no reaction anymore. My brain won’t let me cry

I’d like to point out here that a lot of men that identify as dominant freely admit to dacryphilia fetish and enjoy tears. I also find it embarrassing to cry. This is no different and to say that it is would be a massive double standard!

The fetish Dacryphilia betrays the translation Tears of Love. Such tears are shared and never wasted. Nor are they born of embarrassment.

I love it!! It makes me feel amazing plus the relational side of it where I’m *** to my partner makes it really great!

[Je****]

I know it shouldn’t, but yes. Extremely so.

[Ga****]

Yes I still find it a bit embarrassing, but I'm adjusting to being able to actually express/show my feelings now. I was brought up the old way

[Deleted Member]

Yes, If I’m going to I leave the room to be alone shed a few tears and come back. It is very very hard to not be ashamed of it.

[Dossey]

It all depends on what you're crying about

[Bl****]

I don't think embarrassing is the way I think of it it's more of a *** that people will see me differently after they see me cry

[Al****]

My precious Domme enjoys seeing me cry. It was her kink. It was done in a private setting. In public, it may be a double kink. Most likely I may feel embarrassed and also turned that it pleases my Domme.

[Pe****]

I haven't shed a single tear, since 2008, when my mom passed away on Valentines Day 2008.

[Sean-9301]

I mean I do cry and it's not embarrassing at all actually

[SK****]

Hell no. I lead with vulnerability. Consequences be damned. If anyone has a problem with it or if it makes them uncomfortable or they try and use my vulnerability against me, they're gone.

[cr****]

What kind of crying?
Whether I'm embarrassed or not depends on the context.

[ka****]

The only time I cry is whenever my contact lens gets a small tear in it. Burns like molten hell fire

[Ri****]

Not really, I cried when my mum passed away and my dad too (much younger then) as a man you need to be strong and unrelenting at certain times but imo it’s ok to cry amongst the right people

[ka****]

As a dude, u have to keep frame. Especially in public.

Why do you need to be strong as a man? Why is crying weak? I’d argue that it’s pretty cowardly to avoid feeling your true emotions and if you feel weak or ashamed for crying then that in of itself is a weakness. Real men aren’t scared to feel and show their emotions. Suppressing your feelings and hiding them is why men are killing themselves.

[ka****]

I think it shows weakness, because with few exceptions it is indicative of a loss of emotional control.

[dl****]

I should hope not. Emotional vulnerability is important when it comes to relationships. Sometimes crying is a natural byproduct.

[Bo****]

Crying is a healthy thing to do when needed. No shame should be felt if you need to cry.

Bottling up emotions or trying to always "control" your emotions does more damage to your mental health, makes men more violent and leads to higher incidences of ***.

Also, tears contain lysozyme which helps maintain clean, healthy eyes and ducts.

[da****]

No not at all

[Sk****]

Been learning how to recently. I went for over a decade without letting myself cry. Been doing therapy for PTSD and trying to let myself feel stuff again.

[ki****]

Definitely

[ro****]

Embarrassing? Yes, although being able to cry in front of someone and feel comfort instead of embarrassment is always nice
