November Is Here, and Issue 118 Is Ready to Come Out and Play

November is here, and Issue 118 is embracing body confidence, human connection, sensuality, creativity, and the beautiful freedom of being yourself. This month, we're exploring everything from the lingering effects of shame and the need for human touch to erotic pleasure, awkward encounters, remote photography, and the latest Apple technology.

We're also meeting some fascinating men, getting our hands dirty in the garden, warming up with homemade liqueurs, and celebrating the bodies that carry us through life.

And because November is a month for gratitude, our readers are joining the fun with four playful photo challenges.

Is Paying for Touch Sad?

Human touch is a fundamental need, but what happens when affection, intimacy, or physical companionship comes with a price tag? We take an honest, judgment-free look at paying for touch, the desire for connection, and why seeking physical comfort doesn't necessarily mean something is missing from your life.

The Closet Is Gone, but the Shame Moved In

Coming out doesn't always mean leaving every burden behind. Even men who have lived openly for decades can carry lingering feelings of guilt, embarrassment, or shame about their bodies and desires. We examine why those feelings persist and what it takes to begin letting them go.

DIY: Liqueurs

November is a wonderful time to experiment with something delicious. This month's DIY feature explores homemade liqueurs, offering inspiration for creating something special to enjoy yourself, share with friends, or give as a thoughtful holiday gift.

HIMEROS

We turn our attention to HIMEROS and an approach to male eroticism that celebrates sensuality, intimacy, fantasy, and the pleasures of being fully present in our bodies.

The Beauty of Being Awkward: Why Connection Doesn't Require Being Smooth

Not everyone is naturally charming, confident, or quick with the perfect thing to say. And that's perfectly fine.

Tim's Fall Gardening

The Pleasure of the Pull

There Is No Valor in Suffering

In this month’s Letter from the Editor, Nick reflects on watching someone he loves recover from major surgery and the stubborn belief many of us have that enduring pain somehow makes us stronger.

Four Habits for Living a More Naked Life After 40

Living naked is about far more than simply taking off your clothes.

These four habits encourage greater body confidence, authenticity, freedom, connection, and enjoyment as we get older.

Because growing older doesn’t mean shrinking your life.

The Playroom

The door is open.

This month’s Playroom explores sex positivity, kink, fantasy, curiosity, and the conversations we sometimes avoid having about what turns us on, what intrigues us, and where our boundaries live.

Why Chastity Is Unlike Any Other Kink

Chastity plays with anticipation, control, desire, denial, and surrender in a way few other kinks do.

We take a closer look at what makes it so compelling for the men who enjoy it and why not getting what you want immediately can sometimes become the whole point.

Why We Keep Going Back to Our Exes

You broke up for a reason.

So why does that familiar door keep looking so damn tempting?

We explore nostalgia, loneliness, chemistry, unfinished business, familiarity, and emotional attachment, all of which can pull us back toward someone we thought we had left behind.
