October Is Here, and Issue 117 Is Ready to Come Out and Play

October has arrived, and Issue 117 is leaning hard into freedom, confidence, kink, connection, and just the right amount of mischief.

This month, we’re talking about everything from body hair and chastity to exes, Oktoberfest, healthier living, and the very real question of whether suffering actually proves anything.

And because it’s October, our readers are getting in on the fun with an entire month of cheeky photo challenges.

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.

Sometimes strength isn’t about gritting your teeth and suffering through it. Sometimes strength means accepting the help your body needs so it can heal.

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.
