I'm gay, and YES... I believe in and love God.

I believe in love, family, responsibility, commitment, forgiveness and living a life guided by strong values.

And here's something that might surprise some people.

My relationship with God has become considerably deeper since I came out as gay.

I know that may seem unusual to some.

There are people who ass...

People love the idea of living authentically. Of being true to yourself. Of having the courage to live by your values.

It sounds wonderful.

Until doing exactly that begins to cost you things you never thought you'd have to give up.

When I came out as gay at 39, I knew my life would change. I understood that some re...

Low testosterone, blood tests, fertility, benefits, risks and the questions worth asking before beginning treatment.

I want to start with a question.

If your testosterone results came back low tomorrow, would you know what to do next?

Perhaps you've been feeling unusually tired. Your sex drive isn't what it used to be. You're struggling to maintain muscle, your recovery seems slower, or your er...

On integrity, disappointment, ambition and the man you become when life doesn't go your way.

I've met some extraordinary men in my life.

Ambitious men. Generous men. Men of faith. Men who love their familie wholeheartedly, work hard, build businesses, create opportunities and genuinely want to make a difference.

The truth is it's relatively easy to be the man you want to be when life is giving ...

I want to get to know and understand the boy before trying to raise the man.

My son Luke is eight years old.

He is at an age where the world is still full of extraordinary possibilities, very complicated questions, imaginary adventures in our back yard, and things that absolutely MUST be shown to Dad IMMEDIATELY.

And, of course, monsters, dragons, zombies and also some very real fears that I do...

Muscle, metabolism, physical confidence and the lifelong pleasure of being a strong, capable man.

The Promise I Made to Myself

I was in my early twenties, stood 1.85 metres tall and weighed just 62 kilograms when a very simple moment changed the direction of my entire life.

I completed my honours degree at 24 years old and decided to take a year off after studies and work for Hannes Dreyer, the...

What's Really Happening to Men After 40?

Testosterone, sex, strength, stress and the health conversations we need to have.

Men have a remarkable ability to adapt to almost anything.

We work through difficult seasons, take on massive responsibilities, build careers, provide for our families and find ways to keep moving forward in incredible uncertainty.

And sometimes, without really noticing, w...

Wat drie ander twaalfjarige koshuislaaities my geleer het oor vrees, moed, trots en broederskap en hoe wen nie wen is as jy wie jy is verloor nie.

Ek was twaalf toe ek by Morgenzon se plaasskool en seunskoshuis aangekom het.

Ek was eers bang, maar baie gou in my element. Die deel van my kinderlewe was ongelooflik.

Ek het daar geleer ek was mal oor seunsgoed. Rugby. Kompetisie. Stoei. Avontuur. ...

 Alcohol. Gambling. Porn. Smoking/Vaping, Endless scrolling. Get ready for an honest adult conversation about some of the habits we turn to for relief that can ruin a man's life.

Fair warning, gentlemen. We're going there. Yikes!

I want to talk about alcohol, porn, drugs, gambling, smoking, vaping, endless scrolling, and some of the habits men develop while trying to cope with life's demands and...

By Jacque Visagie · Identity & Meaning

I ran into an old acquaintance recently, and the fact that I'd come out came up almost immediately.

"I don't care if you're gay. Just don't be gay gay, you know what I mean?"

Well... no... I actually don't really know what you mean. 🤔

Mmmm...

But I suspect he didn't really know either.

I think the words just came out. Something he'd heard before. Someth...
