Your Other Brothers

My mother’s favorite insult to me whenever she got angry was, “You’re just like your father.”

Back then, those words felt like a curse.

🪶 NEW BLOG from Nate –

Father’s Day is a challenging holiday for me. There’s a stereotype among men who are s*xually attracted to other men that most of us have “daddy issues.” Sadly, I’m not an exception. My dad may have been technically present, but he was emotionally and spiritually absent.

Modern secular culture takes the chronological, progressive view that “people in the past were so prudish and suppressed, and now we live in an age of ‘love is love’ and s*xual liberation.” And yet men and women in the past got fully naked with people of their same s*x, without question, only exhibiting modesty in the presence of the opposite s*x.

🪶 NEW BLOG from Eugene –

Same-s*x cuddling and nudity often feel like open secrets that nobody else wants to talk about, with some fearing them as slippery slopes toward s*xual temptation.

Ten years of the YOBcast and not a single nudity episode?! Until now. Join Tom Zuniga, Ryan, Matt, and a special guest to discuss this important intersection of nudity, body image, and vulnerability with other men. How did our familial and peer upbringings shape our relationship with nudity as adults? How have we – or haven’t we – entered n**e environments like doctor’s offices, locker rooms, and Korean spas? We share stories of how appropriate, non-s*xual nudity has initiated deeper brotherhood, and also stories of insecurity or lack of desire to be n**e with other men.

Wherever you fall on this “nudity desire spectrum,” we hope this episode helps you reconsider your relationship with your own body, as well as your embodied relationships with the men around you.

We also discuss Sam Allberry’s resignation and the impact on our community.

When my usually clean-shaven face pretty speedily became a sea of bristles … it felt like I was cosplaying as a man. Like finally I could be seen as A Real Live Boy. I have never really doubted that I am a man. But I have also never felt like I belonged in the same category as other men; I have never been masculine.

🪶 NEW BLOG from Simon –

Admittedly, I am only two weeks into my new bearded life. Fear not, this post isn’t the equivalent of someone getting married and writing a “Why Marriage is a Struggle and Why I’m Great at It” how-to guide. I have no tips on growing or maintaining facial hair. But I have had some complex fee...
