Once you bidet, you never go back…
If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out.
If you don’t like it, you’re lying.
If you’re a man and you love it - as you should - you’re at least 1% gay.
Thank you for your service @hellotushy 💩
Most guys think 'brotherhood' is cracking beers, watching football and talking shit. That's buddy stuff, which is fine and well, but it's not necessarily BROTHERHOOD.
This kind of brotherhood is where boys become men together.
If your bro exposes his bleeding heart, you honor that shit and treat him with care.
When he's fuckin up, you don't ignore it or put him on blast. You pull him aside. "Bro, this ain't it."
You call him higher without shaming him, because your shit stanks too, just like the rest of us.
When he ghosts, you don't assume he's fine. Silence is where shameful spirals and shitty behavior festers. You bug his ass until he responds. Mature men don't wait for permission to show that they care.
When he wins, you celebrate without keeping score. His success isn't stealing from yours. It's proof of what's possible. Feel jealous? Use that as fuel. Don't let your ego poison his moment.
You show up when it's messy and inconvenient. Not just for the fun times. That's when brotherhood gets battle-tested.
This isn't some cutesy poster. It's iron sharpens iron in action. It's men engaging in a tale as old as time.

She doesn't want your contrived performance. She wants your courageous presence.
Not the fake confidence you throw on when you're internally spiraling. Not that rigid stoic act you think looks strong. She wants the man who can hold the chaos without becoming it.
Groundedness doesn't mean you never getting shaken; it's not collapsing when you inevitably do. Your nervous system telling hers "we're safe, I've got this."
Decisiveness isn't controlling everything. It's trusting that you can lead with clarity even when you're unsure . "We're doing this. I've got us." That calm direction instills trust and respect. You won't always be right. That's not the point. The point is you choose, own it, and keep moving.
Here's where most men fuck it up:
They think masculinity means shutting down emotionally. NOPE. She actually CRAVES your full emotional range, your ability to feel rage, grief, joy, desire, etc. without dumping it on her like she's your therapist (or your buddy).
Can you hold your own pain without making it her problem, and resist the urge to get defensive? Can you feel deeply and remain SOLID, holding your intensity as well as hers?
That's the man she wants to surrender to - and give a NASTY blowie 🐳
Most men swing between rigid control and emotional chaos. In a sense, she wants both, but she also wants neither. Can you enjoy the lifelong roller coaster riddle of cracking that code?
That's the FUNcomfortable work...facing hard shit head on...becoming unbreakable even when you feel broken.
So be honest with yourself:
Are you performing for her approval or embodying what she's been waiting for from a man?
#masculinity #relationships #growth
Respect started really flowing in my relationship when I stopped being a good boy at the expense of being myself. I quit bending over backwards to keep the peace. I MADE the peace by telling the truth even when it stung, and trusted my choices, even if they disappointed her.
I also built a circle of men who challenged and celebrated me, so my wife didn’t have to be the primary caretaker. That space let her relax and actually admire me again (and want to fuck my brains out 🤫).
Women don’t respect men who perform for approval. They respect men who lead themselves first.
#mensgrowth #relationships #masculinity
Don't get it twisted...masculinity isn't loud, controlling, and emotionally muted. Being “the man” isn't being 'that guy' in the room who's performatively peacocking, keeping a stoic stone face, or gripping everything so tightly so they never have to feel out of control.
Dat GOOD masculinity is poised power that is felt, not necessarily heard. It’s being the calm eye of the storm, not the one fueling the destructive chaos. It’s direction without domination, presence without posturing.
And it’s not about avoiding your emotions. It’s about expanding your capacity to feel it all - rage, grief, fear, joy - without collapsing, running, or losing your cool.
The more you can stay grounded when everything in you wants to bolt, the more masculine you become.
So be real with yourself:
Are you embodying masculinity, or just playing dress-up wit it?
#mensgrowth #masculinity #innerstrength
Stop fantasizing about dying for her. It's weird and irrelevant.
“I’d die for my woman.”
Sounds fantastically noble. Fairlytale heroic.
But here's what actually matters...
Would you kill your boy-ish ego for her? Would you drop the shitty behaviors that poison your relationship? Would you sit with your shortcomings, and continue committing to your growth, so she doesn’t have to resign to your complacency and carry the heavy ass weight of your unprocessed nonsense?
It’s a fun thought experiment to picture taking a bullet for your lady. It’s much more relevant to pause before you react, to stop disappearing or disassociating when things get hard, to boldly address your addictions and immaturity. Masculinity isn’t proven in some epic death scene that will never happen; it’s proven in your daily, cock-solid presence.
Your woman isn’t just your friend and lover, she’s your mirror and teacher. Every time you lash out or shut down, you hand her your pain that's not hers to hold. The men who come FROM safety, instead of fighting FOR it, are the ones who get to experience her full, surrendered safety and softness.
#mensgrowth #relationships #masculinity
Being a MAN ain't about money and muscles or social status.
The process for acquiring those things can be beautiful training for men, but the results don't necessarily speak for themselves completely. An integrated man is proven tried and true under pressure, when life squeezes you and you can’t fake it. That’s where good little boys and great, mature men get separated.
Boys chase validation and crumble when it’s not given. Men stand firm in who they are, whether they’re praised or criticized. Boys numb out with porn, booze, and endless doom-scrolling when pain shows up. Men sit in the fire and feel every ounce of it, and move forward int he midst of it.
The moment you stop desperately trying to LOOK strong is the moment you become a FORCE to be reckoned with. Righteous, authentic power doesn’t demand respect, it radiates and commands it with or without words. You can only perform for so long before the facade fades.
You don't have to be perfect. You just GET to be ruthlessly honest, relentlessly committed to your growth, and unwilling to abandon yourself regardless of the ramifications.
That’s what makes a man MAGNETIC. That’s what turns excruciating pain into unwavering presence, and impossible pressure into magnanimous, productive purpose.
Which one is running your life right now - the lost boy or the confident man?
#mensgrowth #masculinity #innerstrength
Your woman isn’t your therapist. Every time you dump your unprocessed shit on her, you drain - and ultimate destroy - her attraction to you. There’s a difference between vulnerability that builds intimacy and unfiltered emotional leakiness that fosters friendzone energy.
Being a mature man means finding a place to pre-process - with your breath, your body, and your bros - so you can show up more integrated, reliable, and solid. That’s what creates and maintains polarity, keeping the spark alive with your lady.
Don't hide your emotions from her, but don't treat her like your mom and offload them like a little boy either.
#mensgrowth #relationships #masculinity
The lie we tell ourselves as men:
“The more women I sleep with, the more valuable I am.”
More desirable. More admired. More proof that I matter.
I lived that seductive lie. Put some numbers on the scoreboard. Bragged to the boys. Felt the surface-level high.
But underneath, I felt hollow, ashamed, and drained. It was not the kind of ‘respect’ I was really after.
Here’s the reality:
Chasing quantity blinds you to quality, and there’s a spiritual tradeoff.
Sex is a sacred exchange. It’s God-energy. Treat it like trashy fast food and your soul will be malnourished.
Don’t binge on a Big Mac when you have a grass-fed filet mignon waiting for you.
Discernment…intentionality…courage…
That’s what makes you more of a man.
#masculinity #growth #intimacy
Most relationships fail because people swing too far in one of two directions:
1. Either over-processing, talking endlessly about everything, or...
2. Not communicating enough or shutting down completely
More often it's number 2, but regardless, there’s a sweet spot in the middle.
If you’re over-talking and find yourself in loops that lead to the same place without resolution, you probably need to reconnect physically more often
If you’re under-talking, the quiet parts need to be said out loud - early and often.
'Hey, we haven’t had sex in months, and that doesn’t feel good. That's not the kind of relationship I want, and I imagine you don't either. I believe sex is nourishing and needed for our best connection, and I'd like to collaborate with you to bring that back to our intimacy.'
Stop avoiding conflict; start confronting reality.
Ask yourself:
Am I talking too much, or not enough? Swing that pendulum the other way to find the perfectly balanced middle ground.
If you’re silent, courageously speak the fuck up. If you’re verbose, try shutting your yapper a bit, listen more, and focus on presence.

Leadership isn’t always sexy. When it involves substance abuse - or extreme addiction - it requires ruthless holding of non-negotiable boundaries.
Just being supportive quickly turns into a slippery slope of enabling, which can be a dangerous matter of life or death.
Don't get it twisted...
Compassion without parameters isn’t love, it’s weakness dressed up as virtue.
I learned that the hard way when my best friend from childhood relapsed under my roof. I wanted to believe him, and against my better judgement, I did, even when my gut was SCREAMING at me.
I got had gotten complacent and soft with enforcing our initial agreements, and when I didn’t enforce those standards we agreed on, I failed him - and myself.
Leadership requires clarity, confrontation, and the willingness to be unpopular - to not be liked. If you can’t see it through when it gets TENSE, you’re not leading. You’re passively enabling.

Society tells men to be quiet, soft, “less intense.” They say men are dangerous, domineering, untrustworthy. Fuck that noise.
The 'Me Too' movement exposed some seriously shady shit, but it also swung the pendulum too far in the other direction, unequivocally labeling men as inherently bad because of their natural traits.
But you know in your gut:
Your intensity isn’t a flaw. It’s fire, which can be used to destroy and kill, or feed and provide.
It’s raw power that can be used for good or evil. The world absolutely needs it, now more than ever, whether certain subsets of society want to admit it or not. Demonize and deny it, and you lose your divine edge.
A healthy balance doesn't mean repressing your unique strength. It’s pairing your intensity with her emotional depth, your power with her sensitivity. That’s that yin yang shit the ancients talked about ;)
This is how humanity wants to operate at it's core. That’s how the world truly thrives.
#masculinity #growth #balance
You don't need to share EVERYTHING all the time.
It's true that honesty is crucial, which also means being forthright - not just NOT lying.
Sometimes that means owning up to your own flaws and small mistakes before they grow, and certainly any big withholds that are being hidden as well as uncomfortable unsaids.
But honesty doesn’t mean sharing every fleeting thought. There’s a balance between healthy transparency and preserving the relationship’s peace and dignity.
Learning when to speak up and when to hold back is a HUGE part of being a mature man, and necessary for keeping your lady as your lover, first and foremost.
#relationships #mensgrowth #emotionalintelligence
Good luck fixing her feelings. It doesn't work, and that's not what she wants. She NEEDS to feel them fully, and she WANTS you to hold her through that process.
When emotions get intense, the tendency is to shut down or take it personally. GUILTY of doing that countless times. But if you stay regulated...breathe DEEEEEPLY, and ride that tsunami with her, you create emotional safety she can depend on.
And when the storm passes, what’s left is more than calm. It’s connection - and likely some spicy P-in-the-V action.
#relationships #menswork #emotionalintelligence
When it cums to bumpin beautifuls, you don’t need elaborate moves, hidden signals, or waiting for the perfect moment. A lot of men (and when) think it needs to be a spontaneous production that creates a volcanic eruption.
It's WAY simpler than that. It's about going back to the basics, which many of us were never educated on, and it starts with....drumroll...HONESTY.
Expressing desire directly is effective AND sexy. It’s not about demanding or awkwardly persuading. It's about confidently - and (s)explicitly - inviting connection without getting hijacked by the fear of what the response might be. If your partner feels resistance or has emotions around it, your job is to stay grounded and open, not to take it as a personal attack.
When you can succinctly ask for what you want without overly justfiying or timidly avoiding the inevitable discomfort, while staying firm and commited to the love you know is possible, you create space for deeper t(h)rust, better cummunication, and yes…more slap-n-tickle.

The work has to be PLAY-full, or it's unsustainable.
Wanna improve as a man AND have fun at the same time?
If you lose sight of meaningful play in the grind of your life, you lose a crucial part of what makes the journey joyful and rejuvenating.
Being a well-rounded man means balancing density with levity.
At my retreats, we do the growth thang, and we go HARD, but we are equally as dedicated to PLAY and having fun throughout the experience.
The BROlympics is a great example of this...
On one of the days, we compete in a variety of games. We laugh, we talk shit, and a winner is crowned (literally).
Without regular play, life can feel especially heavy.
The stress of life's demands becomes overwhelming, and pent-up emotions can bleed into places they're not supposed to.
Play (particularly competitive sports) keeps a man sane and satiated, majorly supporting his ability to face challenges with strength, confidence and graceful ease.
#mensgrowth #balance #brotherhood
So many men are starving for sex…and hiding it in plain sight.
They feverishly scroll social media getting dopamine hits from 'hot chicks'.
They manically fap to unrealistic porn fantasies.
They flirt with pixels instead of real people (or their romantic partner).
Not because they’re perverts. Because they’re afraid.
They're afraid to be honest. Afraid to be rejected. Afraid to say, “I want you.” Afraid of what it means if she doesn’t want them back.
Desire isn’t dirty. Asking for s*xual connection should feel exciting.
When men repress this, shit gets weird. And when they express, the possibilities are infinite.
Because sex isn’t just about release, it’s about supernatural connection. When it’s missing, everything else starts to feel off. When it's consistent, and there's playful openness around it, a man feels like he can do fuggin ANYTHING.
#honestmasculinity #sexualtruth #relationshipgrowth
You might be able to move around literal heavy weight and handle the grueling demands of life, but that's actually easy for most men, relatively speaking.
Can you be completely authentic with your emotional burdens? Can you open up about the parts of yourself no one else sees?
That's emotional fitness and many men aren't just out of shape in these regard - they're clinically OBESE. Becoming emotionally fit means digging into the depths of your humanity and growing spiritually stronger through that process.
The best way to lift the emotional weight you've been avoiding is by doing it with other men who are committed to that same journey. Aligning with a brotherhood that challenges and supports you along the way.
