emancipation/emasculation

The subject of masculinity has always been a fascination of mine ever since I started school. Reading 2 chapters of Pascoe's (2007) work only bolstered that fascination. The grey areas that straddle between masculinity and sexuality also fascinate me although I must admit this (interlinked) subject scares me quite a fair bit.

I want to study this further, but my fears of being drawn too deep keep me away from such a possibility. Can I be emancipated from my own self-caused emasculation, and in that process perhaps fall deeper into a hole where I was once rescued from; will I be willing?

For now, I'm afraid;
I'm unsure.
