This thesis attempts to explain the phenomenon of male identity crisis, particularly in terms of universal male initiation rites. The central theme of this work is the relationship between the crisis of male identity and the absence of male initiation rites in Western (Euro-American) postmodern society. Male initiation rituals in different cultures have a close relationship to the mystery, the sacred, the myths and transcendent experience. These elements in our modern western society faded or transformed. However, in relativized and rationalized world these domains do not have their principal place. The thesis looks solid and relative basis of the male sexual identity, that is caught somewhere between undisputed biological fact and externally constructed and relative gender identity. Male authors and leaders of the movement of initiation rites of passage sees this man's identity as central to being male. These as well as other authors, see in these rituals chance to consolidate the identity in a world, where men are losing his ground. Oposite authors these mythopoetic movements and their leaders criticize.
