How can I be successful sexually, or even succesful, masculine, assertive in general for that matter, with very high levels of empathy? Do I need to become less empathetic? Is that possible or even healthy? if I get any sense or slight feeling that a girl doesnt want to do something, that I want to do or get out of sex, I wont do it. I often very easily feel guilt because of this. Its not just an issue sexually but it affects me in other areas of life too. Any advice for this? Im reading nmmng, and its helping with a lot of things, but the empathy i feel I dont know how to change
