Let’s Work Together.
Are you a man experiencing a feeling of incompleteness, or a sense that something is missing in your life? Are you longing for a way to integrate all aspects of yourself – your sexuality, spirituality, and desire for connection – into a more fulfilling experience? Do any of these apply to you:
Disconnection from your sexuality: You might feel insecure or confused about your sexual desires or identity.
Spiritual Stagnation: You might feel a lack of purpose or meaning in your life, or a disconnect from your core values.
Difficulty with Intimacy: You might struggle to connect with others on a deeper, emotional level, both physically and emotionally.
Isolation and Loneliness: You might yearn for a sense of belonging and a community of men who understand their unique experiences.
Confusion about Masculinity: Societal pressures might leave you feeling unsure of what it means to be a man in a healthy way.
If you can relate to any one or more of these feelings, welcome home!

Through connection, touch, and community, I create a safe space for men to explore intimacy, both physical and emotional.

Stepping into the uncharted territory of a new year is akin to embarking on a grand voyage, and as we chart our course through the calendar of possibilities, let us engrave a resolution that transcends the ordinary – a commitment to nurture and fortify the connections that form the very fabric of our existence, starting with the profound bond we share with our partners.
Physical intimacy can be a beautifully connecting and comforting experience, but what happens when you find yourself sharing physical closeness with someone you're not sexually attracted to? This situation can be challenging to navigate, as it requires sensitivity, open communication, and respect for both your own boundaries and those of your partner.
In a world that often views sexuality as taboo or solely physical, the concept of sacred sexuality offers a refreshing perspective. But what exactly does it mean? Sacred sexuality encompasses a spiritual and holistic approach to intimacy, recognizing it as a sacred act that can deepen connections and foster personal growth. It goes beyond the physical pleasure and delves into the realms of emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
In a world that is growing increasingly digital, making meaningful and intimate connections with other people has become both a rarity and a necessity. These connections are the foundation of our personal and professional lives. They help us grow emotionally and intellectually, fostering a sense of belonging and understanding.
The concept of chakras, originating from ancient Indian traditions, has gained recognition and importance in contemporary holistic wellness practices. Chakras are believed to be energy centers within the body that play a vital role in our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Balancing these chakras through bodywork is a powerful approach to harmonizing one's energy and promoting overall health and balance.
Men's retreats are rapidly gaining popularity, offering a unique platform for self-discovery, wellness, and spiritual growth. A men's retreat is not just a getaway, but a transformative journey that helps men reconnect with their inner self.

Emotional intimacy, often misconstrued as a women’s realm, is an integral part of human relationships that transcends gender boundaries. It refers to a profound level of understanding, openness, and trust between two individuals, fostering a bond of deep connection and mutual respect. Emotional intimacy is about allowing oneself to be vulnerable, sharing inner thoughts, feelings, fears, and aspirations with your partner.
Authentic relating is a practice based on honest, genuine, and transparent interaction. It's about being real, being yourself, and not being afraid to show your true colors. It's about not holding back, not wearing a mask, and not pretending to be someone you're not. Authentic relating is about connecting with others on a deep, meaningful level.
Often misunderstood and subjected to all kinds of myths and misconceptions, Tantra is an ancient spiritual practice with deep roots in both Hinduism and Buddhism. But what is Tantra exactly?
In recent years, discussions surrounding sex work have become increasingly prominent. Society's perception of this complex industry is evolving, and it is essential to recognize that sex work is work. It is crucial to shed light on the benefits that clients can experience through engaging with sex workers. By challenging prevailing stigmas and prejudices, we can foster a more compassionate and understanding society.
One of the biggest myths about great sex is that it ‘just happens’.
Sometime around the sexual revolution in the 1960s the idea that sex was sinful got replaced with the idea that sex is natural. But as psychotherapist and sexologist Esther Perel points out:
“It’s not natural. It’s an art, it’s cultivated, it’s learned, it’s an intelligence. It’s a lot of things but it’s not just something you ‘know’”.
As a gay man, I've always been interested in exploring different ways to connect with my partners. That's why I was excited to try gay tantric massage for the first time. It promised to be a unique and transformative experience, and it certainly delivered. In this article, I'll share my insights into the world of gay tantric massage, including what it is, how it works, and what to expect during a session.
We all crave connection and intimacy, but for some of us, the vulnerability that comes with opening up to others can be a scary prospect. Whether it's fear of rejection, past hurts, or a lack of trust, intimacy issues can keep us from fully embracing our authentic selves and experiencing deep, meaningful relationships. But what if vulnerability wasn't something to be feared, but rather, an art to be mastered?
Do you find it challenging to say ‘no’ sometimes?
Especially if we have a tendency to want to please, we can sometimes find ourselves saying ‘yes’ when we really mean ‘no’.
So why is this, and what can you do about it?
We all want to be happy. But what is happiness, and how do we achieve it? Some people believe that happiness comes from material possessions, while others believe that it comes from experiences. But what if the key to happiness is something much simpler? What if it's intimacy?
In our fast-paced world, it's easy to lose touch with the power of presence. We often find ourselves multitasking, constantly checking our phones, and rushing from one thing to the next. But what happens when we slow down and fully engage in the present moment? We open ourselves up to deeper connections and a greater sense of intimacy.
Mindfulness has become a buzzword in wellbeing circles in recent years.
But did you know you can bring the principles of mindfulness into the bedroom too?
Mindful sex is an approach that can help you feel more pleasure and connection by becoming more present to what you’re experiencing.
Here are some of the key principles, and some simple ideas to help you get started.
Many people struggle with intimacy. Whether it’s because they don’t know how to build connection or they feel too uncomfortable to share their true selves, there are countless reasons why it can be challenging. But, is that what’s holding you back?
Masturbation: pretty much everybody does it, yet hardly anyone ever talks about it! And when was the last time you actually paid any real attention to how you get off – what you do, and why you do it? Think about the last time you jerked off: be honest with yourself – how good was it? Did you feel alive and connected afterwards? Or did the experience leave you feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied? Did you feel like you were connecting with an important part of yourself, or was it a bit like scratching an itch?
Intimacy is something that most of us would like to have more of! But it can often feel elusive to find.
If you search the internet for guidance on how to get more intimacy you’re likely to find a mixed-bag of think-pieces covering everything from God to sex!
But overthinking intimacy can actually be part of the problem.
If you want more intimacy you need to feel more, and think less
Valentine's Day can be a difficult time for single men. We're surrounded by couples, plastered with images of romance, and constantly asked if we have someone special. But it doesn't have to be a dreary day! There are plenty of ways for single men to survive Valentine's Day with fun and enjoyment.
Intimate touch is the type of physical contact that brings you closer to someone and creates closeness. It is the kind of contact that feels natural, safe, and comfortable with your loved one. Intimate touch can be a simple gesture to show you care or it can involve more sensual touching.
Physical intimacy and sexual intimacy are two distinct forms of intimacy, yet they are often confused and conflated. The difference between touch and sex is a critical distinction to understand, as it can have a major impact on our relationships and our overall well-being. This article explores the difference between physical intimacy and sexual intimacy, and how to cultivate meaningful, healthy intimacy in our lives.
If you’ve ever been rock-hopping, or dancing – or anything which requires you to move fast and freely, with split-second timing and co-ordinated movement – you’ll know that you don’t have time to ‘think’ you just have to ‘be’ – you have to trust your body. It’s hard to overthink things when you’re in motion. So movement is a great way to help you out of your head and into your body. And it also has physiological benefits when it comes to arousal and pleasure.
Tantra is an ancient practice that focuses on personal transformation, with the ultimate goal being to achieve inner peace and spiritual enlightenment. Through the use of meditation, breathing techniques, yoga, and other spiritual practices, Tantra helps to open up the mind and body to new levels of awareness and understanding. Tantra is often referred to as a practice that combines sex, spirituality, and yoga. However, it’s important to note that Tantra is so much more than that.
For centuries, BDSM and Tantra have been two distinct practices that have explored the depths of physical pleasure and spiritual connection. BDSM is a consensual practice that involves bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadism and masochism, while Tantra is an ancient spiritual tradition that promotes the spiritual connection between two people. However, in recent years, the two have been brought together to create a powerful and unique practice that combines the physical and spiritual elements of both.
New Year’s resolutions are a great way to start the year with a clean slate, and give us the chance to become a better version of ourselves. Instead of focusing on how much weight you gained over Christmas, New Year’s resolutions give you a goal that can help you grow as a person. But while the intentions are good, it doesn’t always work out for everyone.
One of the most important discoveries in science during the last decade is that of the hormone oxytocin. Discovered nearly 200 years ago, it wasn’t until recently that we understood its central role in our physiology and behavior.
That’s because oxytocin is a hormone that plays a significant role in social behavior. It’s also referred to as the love hormone, cuddle hormone or trust hormone — but it has much more to offer than being simply a feel-good chemical.
Forget chick flick clichés about cuddling (though that's important too). This is about guys and why we absolutely need hugs, high fives, and some good old-fashioned physical contact.
Turns out, all this "man up" stuff can backfire. Guys who don't get enough touch can experience a cascade of negative effects, including heightened stress, anxiety, and even a weakened immune system. Yikes!
