When we think about the sex lives of teenage boys and young men, we expect them to be promiscuous and to be willing to do just about anything to have sex.

Contrary to the stereotype, most boys are monogamous and want to establish an emotional connection to their partners. Andrew Smiler PhD., joins us to discuss his research.

Jack Kammer, MSW, MBA Heroes of the Blue Sky Rebellion
Do you have a son, a brother, a nephew you love? Maybe a young male friend or student you care about? Does he feel he has to act a certain way simply because he's male - a way that might not be best for him? The central idea of this book is that boys and young men are being harmed by cultural assumptions about masculinity that devalue and disregard both a boy’s inner and outer world. We adults need to address sexism against young men. The book is a quick and easy boy-friendly read.

Loss is a universal human experience. With that said, many men have difficulty working through and accepting the various forms of losses that occur over the course of a life time.

We will explore how men can take painful loss experiences and transform them into meaningful life events. Our guest is Dr. Jim O’Neil, a pioneer in the area of the psychology of men.
