Gay Men Going Deeper - Commitment and Connection in Open Relationships
play

11/07/24 • 43 min

Are open relationships really about avoiding commitment, or is there more to the story? In today’s episode, Michael is joined by Dr. Israel Martinez to unpack the common misconceptions around consensual non-monogamy (CNM) and explore how commitment and connection can flourish in open relationships.

We’ll be discussing:

  • Common misconceptions about CNM and monogamy
  • How to determine your ideal relationship style
  • What is a relationship anchor and how to find it
  • The role of trust, communication, and emotional intimacy in CNM
  • Social conditioning around monogamy as the only valid type of relationship

Dr. Martinez also offers self-reflection questions and takes Michael through an exercise to determine his own relationship style and anchor, giving you a practical tool to use in your own exploration.

Whether you’re curious about exploring CNM or already practicing it, this episode will give you the tools and insights to foster strong, lasting connections outside of monogamy.

Today's Guest: Dr. Israel Martinez

Gay Men Going Deeper - Healing Shame

Healing Shame

Gay Men Going Deeper

play

05/18/23 • 67 min

Shame is that terrible feeling that arises when you get the sense that something is fundamentally wrong about you. It is often accompanied by inadequacy and self-doubt. Shame convinces you that you are not enough.

Like it or not, shame plays a key role in the gay man’s life. Born into a straight world, we must contend with the fact that we are different. While we all have a unique way of dealing with shame, healing it is necessary if we want to develop an authentic sense of self and truly connect in our most intimate relationships.

We’ll be exploring 3 key questions:

  1. How shame affect us as gay men, specifically
  2. How do we identify shame
  3. What are some ways we can start healing shame?

Gay Men Going Deeper - Expressing Your Masculinity

Expressing Your Masculinity

Gay Men Going Deeper

play

09/07/23 • 56 min

Gay culture has historically idolized traditional masculinity in the context of societal norms, which includes traits like physical strength, assertiveness, and stoicism.

But we must remember that there isn't a single, fixed definition of masculinity. While some embrace traditional concepts of masculinity, others may lean towards more non-conforming presentations.

Lately, there has been a growing acceptance of the fact that gender expression and sexual orientation are distinct aspects of identity. In this episode, we're exploring our personal expression of masculinity by answering questions such as:

  • What does masculinity mean to you?
  • What's the difference between toxic masculinity and healthy masculinity?
  • In what ways has societal conditioning shaped how you relate to your own masculinity?
  • How do you express your masculinity?
