You ever play Persona 4? Not that your experiences entirely match this character, but you somewhat remind me of him.

Do you have someone outside your sexual partners who you can trust to talk to about your past? From the way you say:

But, fortunately, I framed it as something I am in the process of overcoming successfully, though it is trying, and gave little to no detail, and did not ask her explicitly for help on the matter. It is something I struggle with but as a man I can fucking handle it and she better not fucking forget it.

It sounds like it's not the easiest thing to come to terms with. And, hell, I don't blame you.

If you want to keep the regrets from your past from the women you're having sex with, fine, but being a man doesn't mean it's your burden alone to bear. It can be if you want it to, and maybe you can handle it on your own - hell, I don't know you. But the only one who can tell you who's allowed to hear about your past is you, not a subreddit. If it helps to talk about it, then talk about it.

I appreciate your comment, but I did post to /r/thanktrp and not /r/asktrp. I am not asking for help. I am expressing gratitude for a place that has helped me uncover my masculine identity in a world that vilifies it and praises the feminine. I have overcome the delusion that women want a man in touch with their feminine side.

I don't even want to talk about it really. That night, I was just really angry. I can see my anger, recognize, and proceed accordingly. I'm not struggling with impulses, TRP has helped me with that by helping me learn how to be a man in today's sexual marketplace. These improvement, thanks to TRP, have helped me overcome the root of my insecurities and perceived inadequacies that led me to those behaviors I found shameful.

If I find that I cannot bear my burden, I will not be asking her for help but I certainly know help is out there. One of the biggest obstacles is that within that community (of which I have never immersed myself, I've always been more of a stand alone kind of guy) they don't think it's something to "fix". I do. They'll say "just accept it!" But, it's not a part of the way I was born, it's not like being gay. It's blue pill conditioning. It's a god damned cancer. I didn't want to talk about it. I just lacked caution when talking about the source of my anger in that moment. I secretly do want to tell her about my past in that I want her to know I've gotten around. That it's more than pussy she needs to offer me. But I don't want or need her help on this. It's not about her. She's a wonderful addition to my life, but not necessary for it.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
