How to Increase Your Testosterone | The Art of Manliness

“Researchers in the US are finding testosterone levels to be substantially lower — by about 15 to 20% — than they were fifteen years ago. Scandinavian studies show similar declines, and in younger men too; a man born in 1970, for example, had about 20 percent less testosterone at 35 than a man of his father’s generation at the same age.”3

Find a Mentor | The Art of Manliness

Mentors have the experience and wisdom to give us sound guidance, direction, and advice. Mentors can also help us expand our point of view on a particular area of our life. Moreover, a mentor can become a good friend and confidant during times when we struggle and falter.

I think this is important with in the gay population. Our culture and history is not written down in book or taught in schools. I fear that the younger generations will loss touch with the struggles and achievements that we have made. The older generation has a responsibility to be Mentors and role models for the younger generations.

Defining Your Core Values | The Art of Manliness

When you don’t know or you haven’t clearly defined your values, you end up drifting along in life. Instead of basing your decisions on an internal compass, you make choices based on circumstances and social pressures.

I though this might be fun. Over the next 30 days I will post from a web sight called “the are of manliness.” As gay men we have all struggled to define for our self what it is to be a man, wouldn’t have been great to be given an owners manual. A good place to start are with our core values. Take a look at these posts over the next 30 days and take what works for you and leave the rest, and have fun.

We would rather be Ruined

We would rather be ruined than changed. 
        We would rather die in our dread
            than climb the cross of the moment
                and let our illusions die.
                                                            —W.H. Auden

We’ve all had powerful conversations that changed our outlook on life, made us really laugh, or just moved us . . .

MEN'S MONTHLY SALON
February:  Lust's Double-Edged Sword — How do erotic attractions heal &
harm us?

2/7/10 (1st Sundays), 2:30-4:30 pm

Each month a small group (8-15) of men gathers for an honest, open,
powerful, and often funny discussion.  We sit in the comfort of a living
room and talk & listen about a subject we find interesting & important, such
as sex, relationships, work, aging, or health. We explore collaboratively,
learning from each other about ourselves and our fellows.

We rediscover the power of thoughtful collective inquiry.  We remember that
human beings are usually wiser when they learn & laugh together.  And of
course we stop for tasty snacks and tea — because the brain and the heart
both need sustenance.  As the weather improves, we may sometimes walk & talk
as Socrates & his students did -because this encourages us to learn & listen
with all our senses, and lets us stretch our legs.

FEBRUARY PRESENTER:  Marc Andrews, is a senior psychotherapists focusing on
a blend of deep inquiry and practical support, who has 20 years of clinical
experience in Jungian Analysis, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Positive
Psychology, Gestalt, Psychodynamic techniques, and who has a strong focus on
gay men and HIV/AIDS.  He also has 10 years' experience in clinical
supervision with other psychotherapists.

FACILITATOR:  David Zundel has organized and facilitated many events in
Portland over the years. David brings a great interest in how we learn more
from talking in small groups.
