What a good and interesting question. As a cis-gendered male, and happy enough in my own skin, I don't feel the need for outward trappings of...
Have you read George Orwell's essay "Such, such, were the joys"? It's an account of the horrors of his being at St Cyprian's prep school as a boy....
I would certainly get the help of a professional. Arthritis, whether rheumatoid or osteo (or others) is a condition which requires a...
I am now 60. In my early 40s I joined a local bi-married men's support group, that used to meet for regular lunches, and that had a very active...
Thank you so much for your warm and supportive replies. Let me add two things. First, I was talking to my brother, who is trying to organize a...
Late next week it will be five months since that fateful day when I came out to my family, who reacted with absolute horror and dismay - not about...
As an older (60) and recently out gay man, I'm busily enculturating myself during the current lockdown by exploring gay media, and I've been...

Tea - oh my goodness yes - there's never a bad time for a cup of tea. My love of tea is such that when one of my children, then very young and in...
Last night: getting into bed between freshly laundered sheets. Ahhhh! What's yours?
So today marks four weeks since I came out to my family, which you read about at...
