This thread could be fun. I'll bite.

Firstly, it's tough to be celibate and a faggot.

Secondly, one of the most manly things any man can do is master his emotions and make judgments and decisions based on reason and self-discipline. Celibacy is one of the manliest things anyone can do because it requires an extraordinary amount of self-control and mastery over ones primal desires.


That being said, if you want manly stories, you can't go wrong with anything Robert E. Howard, and most assuredly, the manliest of manly characters, Conan the fucking Barbarian

It simply requires a good amount of unattractiveness.

The obvious answer is the Illiad, OP. The song of Roland, Yvain the knight of the lion, any book drawing from arthurian lore and medieval books about knights in general.
