A Dom learning how to cry.

I'd like to put something out there on this topic....

Forget dom or not....I'm a man and haven't cried in quite a number of years. The last time i can remember crying....might have been when i was 13ish....

This isn't to say that I haven't felt sadness though. i'm not emotionless, I feel, I feel happy, sad, angry, and a full range of other emotions.

At times I've wanted to cry. I thought that if I did i'd feel better after it. I couldn't, no matter how hard I tried or how much I wanted to.

A while back I was watching something on discovery health, in this they went through the reasons why men don't often cry. It turns out that it's just because of the way our brain is wired, it's physical. The connections between where we feel the emotion and where the physical reponse is are not linked the same way a woman's is.

Thus we feel the same emotion, with the same intensity, however are unable to connect that to a physical reaction.

ok, i'm off the soapbox

Thanks for sharing, It's nice to know the reasons behind things. As there sure is a huge stumbling block even now.
