Scott and I spoke about his book, and how not fitting into the “Gay” culture is okay, and you can be you regardless of the label or whether or not you drink the ‘vodka’

G. Scott Graham is an author, a career coach, and a business coach in Boston, Massachusetts. He is currently working on his 16th book.

Androphilia describes sexual attraction to men or masculinity.

The Book Androphile Pride: Both the gay and androphile subcultures present strong dogmatic prescriptions of what it means to be a man who is sexually attracted to other men.

Rejecting the rigid views of both the Gay (LGBTQIA+) Community and the Androphilia Movement, "Androphile Pride" presents another perspective for men seeking to figure out who they are in the light of their sexual orientation and the pressures of conformity from LGBTQIA+ leaders who diagnose you with internalized homophobia if you question any part of their social/political agenda.

Furthermore, rejecting the propaganda put forth by these self-appointed LGBTQIA+ prophets does not mean that men who are sexually attracted to other men have to follow in blind lockstep with those views proposed by the originators of the Androphilia Movement.

After boldly examining the agendas of both the LGBTQIA+ and Androphilia Movements, Graham proposes what he calls, the true androphile alternative. The true androphile is not bound by the propaganda you are being fed by these groups.

"Androphile Pride" provides an alternative worldview, then guides the reader through a process of creation and integration. Actively engage with the content and you will build a strong sense of self that does not hinge on following every single view espoused by supposed LGBTQIA+ leaders, the supposed Androphilia leaders, nor anyone else.

A strong man doesn't accept what others tell him to believe. He finds his own path, guided by his own values.

I spoke to Master Joshua and Sex Slave Karma about their dynamic, how they met, and how their relationship grew even though Karma was married, and also about the book she wrote about the whole experience. Do What’s Natural, Not What’s Normal.

ABOUT US:

Master Joshua is a professional Dominant (the male equivalent of a Dominatrix) and a Non-Traditional Sexual Behaviors consultant. He helps people resolve the shame surrounding taboo sexual desires and identities. Karma, his sex slave, is a kink reporter + publisher, and a happily married (to another man) mother of two. She is the author of  "Surviving Master Joshua: The BDSM Memoir Of An Unfaithful Wife" (Carnal Culture, April 2022). She started out on this path as a cheater… turning that around has reshaped more than just our own lives. At its core, our story is one of an uplifting personal transformation; it also showcases the lifestyle of one of the most sensationalized and least understood factions of LGBTQ.

Trigger Warning: We talk about suicide, attempted and finalized.

I spoke to Collin about the Tragic loss of his teenage granddaughter, and how he now has created a website with resources and lots of love to reach out to those in need of support.

Collin grew up with three dreams, to be a cowboy, a pilot, and an actor. He rode bulls for 18 years and competed with some of the great legends in the sport of rodeo. He is now a retired airline pilot and a voice actor. He goes after what he wants. What he wants now is to use his public speaking skills to advocate for suicide awareness. This desire came on June 10, 2022, when he received the news of his granddaughter taking her own life.

September is Suicide Prevention Month

International Pronoun Day

This year was yesterday October 20th

International Pronouns Day seeks to make respecting, sharing, and educating about personal pronouns commonplace. Referring to people by the pronouns they determine for themselves is basic to human dignity. Being referred to by the wrong pronouns particularly affects transgender and gender-nonconforming people. Together, we can transform society to celebrate people’s multiple, intersecting identities. International Pronouns Day began in 2018 and takes place on the 3rd Wednesday of October each year. Individuals and groups will participate in grassroots activities that they determine at the local level. https://pronounsday.org/
