  • To my fellow men: ignore the gaslighters in here. NAMI endorses this month, and they are a highly regarded non-profit for mental health advocacy and support. I don’t think OP posted it here ironically b/c they actually posted the NAMI link outlining their support of men’s mental health.

    Hope you all the best and take care of yourselves. Also, if you feel alone, NAMI has a search engine to help find support groups, meetup has a lot (just gotta expand your city search for remote meetups), always explore your insurance’s therapy coverage if you have insurance, and if all that fails, chatgpt provides some decent feedback and perspective without marginalizing your experiences like an asshole would.

    Um, my parents were entirely sex talk averse, but I’ve always practiced safe sex (condoms, birth control, spermicide, sober consent, etc).

    This isn’t the only way to promote safe sex. I learned safe sex as a 5th grader in my sex ed class, and I lived in the bible belt. Let’s not pretend like just b/c some ppl don’t want to talk about sex that it has some sweeping effect. This is an entirely disingenuous argument.

    Not to mention, some ppl have a point not to let just anybody introduce sex to their kids. Sex needs to be framed appropriately so that it’s consequences (and joys) are put in proper context. She has no standards of conveying the concept of sex she lives by other than to be “lewd”. I don’t want kids, but I wouldn’t just introduce the concept of sex using just any medium or “representative”. That’s dangerous.
