How it's used
Focuses primarily on sexual performance or perceived virility rather than general masculine behavior. It carries a slightly playful or suggestive tone when used in casual conversation. The phrase 大振雄風 is the standard way to describe someone suddenly displaying this vigor.
Examples
He is usually very gentle, who knew he would show such manliness at night.
Are you planning to show off your masculine prowess tonight?

Common phrases
to display great masculine prowess
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe general male traits like bravery or strength in a non-sexual context, as it will sound like you are making a double entendre.
