    Male Intimacy [Fireside Chats]

    Male Intimacy [Fireside Chats]

    We had the chance to hide away in a cabin in the mountains for a couple days, and while we were there, we had a few very intimate “Fireside Chats” (not a sex joke). Obviously, due to current events (😷) this season will have a different flavor, but we are stoked to share it! In this first "chat" is about something we both felt uniquely qualified to discuss - male intimacy (again, not a sex joke).
