Love is a beautiful thing. It never feels good to go without or, even worse, to have it in abundance and not be able to show it to the world. Having your boyfriend keep you a secret and causing him to lead a double life doesn’t do anybody any favors. Read More

We’ve put together a list of some of the best holiday vacation spots for gay men. Read More
Pfft. Winter. Amirite? The season can be great in all sorts of ways, but the frigid wind, artificial heat and dry temperatures can be hell on the skin. According to the Men’s Health dermatology advisor, Dr. Adnan Nasir, “Cold weather reduces skin temperature. This means it produces less oil in the winter, causing it to dry out.” Basically, guys need as much care in the skin department as the ladies do, so there’s no reason for us to neglect ourselves in this season of desperate need. Take a look at our guide to the best winter skin care products for men below. It will help you find the best skin care regimen to help you survive the worst of the winter and keep your cheeks baby-soft. Both sets, should you feel so inclined. Read More

Companies of all sizes have begun to openly support the LGBTQ community and its fight for equal rights. Sometimes it’s because the company was founded or is run by somebody within the community and other times it’s because the company just knows a good consumer marketing opportunity when they see it. Whatever the reason, you should consider purchasing from a few of these LGBTQ-friendly companies instead of from their competitors. Even if it’s more of a gimmick than anything else, supporting companies that in-turn support the LGBTQ community is a good idea. It shows companies that targeting a specific group within their market can work in a positive way to help raise awareness and support. In the end, companies that support the LGBTQ community are taking a business risk: some individuals who are against the LGBTQ community often threaten to stop buying from supportive companies. Don’t make those companies regret their decision. Thank them with your dollars. Read More
Let’s face it: It’s not the 1950s any more. Gone are the days when Peggy Sue waited anxiously by the wall-mounted phone for Bobby to call and ask her for a malt before the sock hop. Dating and hookup apps like Hardline have long since become the in thing, forever changing old-school dating trends and habits as we know them.
But is this necessarily a bad thing? Some people lament that romance has since been killed by millennial trends. But perhaps there haven’t been any acts of homicide. Perhaps it’s simply changed, as most things tend to do. Read More
