MEN: Doing hard things is great, but don’t forget to do soft things too.

“…How many "tough" men do you know whose relationships are in tatters? Who can only express anger because every other emotion threatens their image of strength?

When you build your whole identity around enduring discomfort, you become a one-dimensional human, only capable of expressing your worth through suffering…”

The strength we forget to train.

Notice that this man’s relationship to s*x has nothing to do with connecting with his wife. It’s not a surprise that she is not interested in participating in it with him.

Do you spend significant time in dialogue with your Beloved about what’s working or not working in your partnership?

Without consistent, dialogue where each one of you has the space to share what’s arising in your connection, and what might need to shift to create more closeness, a vibrant s*xual connection will not be possible .

Resentment is a S*X KILLER.

We often expect great s*x while bringing far less than ‘great’ to our connection with our beloved outside of the bedroom.

MARRIED MEN
For most of ‘civilzed’ history, women have been property. Our safety was based on submitting to whatever our husband wanted in, regardless of our needs or desires.

This translates now into a biologically-based trauma response where we easily ‘tune-out’ during s*x.

We don’t speak up out of self-preservation.

And It’s not conscious, most of the time.
It’s just survival.

If you want better s*x, notice where you might feel entitled to her body or her emotional / s*xual energy.

When we feel your entitlement, we shut down.

We may give you what you want, but you won’t get your hearts.

And we often resent you.
😔

EVERY MAN IS CARRYING A WEIGHT YOU CANT SEE

‘This month feels like a prayer
stuck in my throat.
men’s mental health month.
my birthday month.
father’s day.

tell me again
why we teach boys
to make wishes on fire
but never show them how
to survive the burn.

the war on men is subtle.
it wears deodorant
laced in endocrine disruptors.
it hands out gold stars
for dissociation.
it raises a glass
to the guy who never cries.
and gives him a stroke before 40.
it sips caffeine at 6am and
forgets the taste of wonder
by noon.

it sells you hustle
in exchange for your heart.
then gaslights your body
when it collapses.

when men don’t cry,
their bodies do.
through inflammation.
through autoimmune storms.
through the silent screams
of gut linings and lymph nodes begging
for what their mouths never learned
to say.

the war on men
doesn’t sound like bombs.
it sounds like
“i’m fine.”
like
“just tired.”
like
“i’ve been busy.”

like a father’s voice gone thin
over speakerphone,
calling from a job that’s killing him
slowly enough to cash the check.

men don’t die from weakness.
they die from mistaking armor
for identity.

every man i know is carrying a weight
no gym could prepare us for.

you wanna talk about lifting heavy?
i deadlifted 500 pounds,
but still couldn’t pick up the phone
to tell my brother i loved him.

what is strength
if it can’t save the ones
we’d die for in theory
but ghost in practice?

don’t wait for a casket
to say you care.

this isn’t about
turning warriors into poets.
it’s about remembering
that warriors were always
the most poetic creatures alive.
who else runs headfirst into death
for something they love?

being a man isn’t about never falling apart.
it’s about learning how to rebuild a better future
from the rubble.

men have been taught to conquer mountains.
but no one told us the real climb
is from the mind to the heart.

we’re taught to f**k like p**n stars
and fix like mechanics
but never how to feel like god
while worshiping a woman
like she’s the source
of every creation story.

you want masculinity?
fall to your knees
and ask your body
what it’s been holding
since the day you were told
to stop crying
before you were given
something to cry about.
then hold it like you wish
your father held you.

the first war a man fights
shouldn't be for someone else.
it should be the one he wins
when he learns to hold his own wounds
without calling them weakness.

we teach boys to take bullets
before kisses,
to protect a country
before they protect their own innocence.
then we wonder why they hold women
like war zones.

if a boy isn’t allowed to cry for his mother,
he’ll spend his whole life searching for her
inside women who never signed up
to be a bandaid
for a boy’s buried heartbreak.

let the next generation of men
be raised on poetry,
not prisons
of suppressed pain.

i’d rather be a man who weeps
than one who wins at pretending
he doesn’t bleed.

stop fasting from your feelings, brother.

they gave us a month
to talk about our mental health
but forgot to teach us the language for it.
so i wrote mine in scars.’

The Partriarchy demands nothing short of the psychic mutilation of men.
