manhood's
Mature masculinity's aspects
Manhood's is the possessive form of manhood—the state of being an adult male, or the qualities associated with mature masculinity.
A boy's manhood's arrival brings new responsibilities.
His manhood's worth was measured by outdated standards.
The word can refer to male genitalia, making possessive constructions occasionally awkward.
