I read on Wikipedia (and yes I know that’s a red flag there) and it said that in Islam, masculinity is measured by the number of male heirs and the number of women you pleasure. Is this true? Also, are you seen as less of a “man” if you can’t do this? Should you be ashamed?
There is no exact definition of masculinity in Islam. What you mentioned is just personal view of few Muslims that easily can be argued. A man with multiple wives who good on the bed maybe look masculine by some people. But if in battle he chose to run instead of fight, can we still call him masculine?.
So don't be ashamed if you are not a man like in your post. As long as you never give up in facing difficulties in your life, as long as you never run from your responsibilities, as long as you are willing to help the other in goodness, In Shaa Allah, you are The Real Man.
