No, the point is to recognize that men are as sexual, and as obvious about it, as women are: this is a point most men miss. Try to understand the male half of the species from the perspective of someone who sizes up a guy as a sex object. And if you're male and you're not capable of stepping into the shoes of an actual female, then the next best thing is to step into the shoes of another male.
It's a short step from recognizing
other guys as sexual to recognizing yourself as sexual. It helps you understand how women can feel about being objectified, as well as delivering numerous insights on myriads of topics.
You'll discover yourself just fine through other means. Masturbate and sample different types of women and you'll orient your sexuality just fine; frankly, it's a little hard to fail. Really, the only way to fail is to
not experiment. All I'm doing is suggesting that you experiment with the entire human race, rather than just half of it.
And by the same token, I equally advise all women to experiment with homosexuality. Most average women tend to size up their gender in terms of what males see, which is nice but frequently... annoying. Looking at someone from the perspective of your own desires brings something different to the table.
As a bonus, doing this also makes it that much harder to be a sexist: it steps on the gender boundary rather rudely.
P.S. Masturbation is
not what I meant when I said you should do something by yourself for weeks. -_- I meant something like... backpacking on a weekend, travelling, or even just touring your city and sampling restaurants. Become a connoisseur of something random. Like street musicians.
