May is international masturbation month and yes I am going to talk about it. Some of you read the title and cringed, others maybe got a little embarrassed and some didn’t think twice about it. This is a non-nudist type article, this falls into the “a man and his thoughts” categories.
Masturbation can be a taboo and touchy subject for many, however, I am going to dive in a bit and talk about it.
For some of you reading this you were taught growing up by your parents, school or church that pleasuring yourself was bad, and in some cases a sin.

Living with a Mental Health Concerns
Hi, my name is Ryan and I live with major depressive disorder and anxiety and this is the story of my last 15 years (give or take).
I will focus this blog on depression and will touch on anxiety in a future writing.

It is a shame.
These people stop others from living the lives they want to live because subconsciously we want to impress people. Or worse, we don’t live our true lives because we don’t want people to talk shit about us.

This will be a quick blog and I am not sure who needs to hear it, however, I was compelled to jump on and type this simple message out to you: Keep fucking fighting.
Everyday we are faced with challenges that push us, pull us, or make us want to simply give up.

Medical Marijuana and Nudism
What does medical marijuana and nudism have in common? They are both good for your soul, spirit, and pain management (in my humble opinion). Relaxation, stress relief, and all natural are three main components of both.
Marijuana users carry around a stigma much like being a nudist does. Many people don’t understand it; therefore, they just simply label people as “stoners” and all they want to do is get high. While that is true for many, marijuana also possess many medical benefits that now being researched more.
