Summary/Abstract: The issue of men's confession is very little developed, although it is seen as an important research problem. To the contemporary conditions of living of masculinity are changing civilization and the development of various types of therapies that revealing injury, do not always help to overcome them. Interdisciplinary research confession men show that their motivation to join the sacrament of penance is the desire to meet the understanding confessor that will help them regain confidence and self-reliance. The desire to overcome the weakness underlies seek help in mastering their lusts and sins. Disparate treatment of moral problems by men lies in their willingness to quickly solve the problem, or overcoming it finds the illusory form of escape from the difficulties lived. It is important to show the theological dimension of confession, as an encounter with Christ defeated sin and death in the mystery of the cross and resurrection.
