Confessions of a Man Who Lost His Penis To Cancer
I had my penis removed last year because of cancer.
First and foremost, just because you are not using a penis doesn’t mean you can’t have sex.
I mean, most would go “no shit Sherlock” but this was the biggest thing I feared before my surgery that I would never have sex again. In the last year, I’ve discovered this isn’t the case — yes, I can’t have natural penetrative sex (I’m not counting using a strap on) but now I define sex as so much more. We have oral sex, use our fingers, stimulate our nipples, even have kissing sessions and I count it as racy sex sessions. And when we do use a strap on for sex, it’s as a “treat”.

“I’m sick of boomers telling gen Z and millennials to “suck it up””
I’m sick of boomers telling gen Z and millennials to “suck it up” when we complain that a $60k or less salary shouldn’t force us to live mediocre lives living “frugally” like with roommates, not eating out, not going out for drinks, no vacations.
Like no, we NEED these things just to survive this capitalistic hellscape boomers have allowed to happen for the benefit of the 1%.
We should guarantee EVERYONE be able to afford their own housing, a month of vacation every year, free healthcare, student loans paid off, AT A MINIMUM.
Gen Z should not have to struggle just because older generations struggled. Give everything to us NOW.

The Dumping Grounds
“I hid $140k debt from my wife. How do I avoid divorce?”
A few years ago, my wife (30F) and I (31M) [married 10yrs] bought a new home. We sold our previous home, paid off debt with the equity, and budgeted rigorously to save up again and afford the new place.
We slipped out of the budget habit after getting in to the new place. Slowly but surely we fell back in to old habits and overspending. Credit card debt began to mound.
We went through some traumatic stuff in 2020 (didn’t everyone) and did some retail therapy to heal the damage. My wife assumed I was handling the finances and I reassured her everything was fine. She assumed I would stop her or let her know we couldn’t afford things, but I was so ashamed of myself I couldn’t bear to tell her no. I’ve moved things around and played all sorts of financial games for the last 3-4 years to keep everything afloat and keep her in the dark. But now, there is approximately $140k in credit card debt.

Inside the Quiet Life of an 800-Pound Man
I wake up before my alarm most days, not because I’m energized, but because my body has its own schedule now. I weigh a little over 800 pounds. Even writing that down feels strange because it’s both a hard fact and a number that doesn’t translate well into lived experience unless you’ve carried it.
