Two new books address the problem of male maturation in America. One gets it, the other just repeats the nostrums of most social scientists, who are very ideologically driven. This is not just an issue for the guys I call M&Ms (men with strong psychosexual attractions to other men) but for all of us men. M&Ms are a small subset of men and how the majority fares impacts us all. And women, too. A society without a strong corps of healthily mature men, who are celebrated publicly for being such, is in trouble.

I once asked a new patient, “Tell me what kind of man you are.” He stopped for a minute and asked, "You mean, what kind of person I am?" “No,” I continued, “what kind of man you are.” He said, "Oh." He seemed genuinely surprised by the question. How would you answer it?
