The Strength to Be Moved: Accepting Influence

Men's Mental Health, Relationship / April 17, 2026

“Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes.)” — Walt Whitman, Song of Myself The mistaken equation There is a belief, held quietly by many men and loudly by some, that to be moved by another person is to be weakened by them.

Female Desire - The Role of Safety and Trust

What Men Often Miss About Female Desire

Men's Mental Health, Relationship, Sexual Health / January 22, 2026

In a long-term relationship, female desire usually works best when a woman feels emotionally safe, connected and unpressured.

Men's Mental Health / July 16, 2025

In a weekly men’s group, four to six men meet with a licensed therapist for 75 minutes to talk honestly about what’s going on in their lives: stress, relationships, work, anger, loneliness and purpose. Each man gets time to share and be heard, the others offer support and challenge, and over the weeks the group builds the kind of trust most men haven’t had since childhood, if ever.
