In this deeply vulnerable episode, I share the most shameful moment of my puberty: my story of sexually assaulting someone at age 12. This is the reason I started this podcast—to confront this painful memory and unshame myself by sharing it openly.
There are a lot of emotions as I reflect on this experience, seek forgiveness, and embrace the healing process. Shame thrives in secrecy, but when witnessed with love and compassion, it can be dissolved. Join me as I process this story, and together, we begin the journey of unshaming through authentic sharing. -
I sit down with Christoph Fink from Radical Honesty, (www.radicalhonesty.com/christoph-fink). We talk about wanting to be "good men."
We share stories of betrayal, brotherhood wounds, and times when we have been hurt by a brother. This episode is completely unedited, and finishes with a vulnerable live diss diss track called "Tantric F*** Boy."
Christoph guides me and listeners to be with our emotional body, without necessarily reacting, expressing or amplifying the energies.

JP Kingston (https://jpkexperience.com/) and I go deep into the unspoken layers of brotherhood—the ways men seek connection, the hunger for male nourishment, and the wounds we carry when that connection is missing. We talk about the testicular web, the power of men sharpening each other like iron, and the beauty of male bonding beyond performance or competition.
We also share openly about our experiences seeking out homosexual connections with men—wondering if, at times, it was a response to an unmet need for male touch, intimacy, and brotherhood that wasn’t available in other ways.

Carlos and I get into it—love, horniness, queerness, and all the messy, beautiful ways they intertwine. We talk about what we were taught (or not taught) about desire, how queerness reshapes the way we see intimacy, and the ways we’ve unshamed our own longing.

In this episode, I take an honest look at how I’ve used both porn and women as a way to avoid my emotions and find temporary relief. I explore the somatic experience of watching porn—how its predictability creates a sense of safety and belonging, yet reinforces patterns of isolation and dissociation.
Through an embodiment practice, I tune into my body before, during, and after watching porn, uncovering the sensations and unmet needs beneath the habit. I also examine how these same patterns show up in my relationships, where I’ve sought comfort instead of true connection.

In Episode 4 of Uncut, Seth Pearson and I dive into the complexities of connection and stimulation through video games. We explore how gaming became our primary way to connect—whether with ourselves, each other, or others—through constant stimulation. From solitary self-regulation to epic 16-player Halo tournaments, we reflect on how we've learned to navigate relationships in a world of endless stimulation. Can we, as men, truly connect without it? Tune in as we examine this question and explore the impact of our digital bonds.

Joseph and I talk about the lack of mentorship during puberty and how it shaped our understanding of intimacy and self. I share the awkward and misguided lesson my brother gave me about how to touch a woman’s clitoris—without any attunement or understanding.
Joseph opens up about the overcoupling of ejaculation with safety during his teenage years and how those early habits of masturbation contributed to struggles with sex addiction. He bravely reveals his shame around using a torso sex toy and the journey to unshame these parts of himself.
We wrap up with an original song, "Don't Get Caught in Your Shame Spiral," a heartfelt invitation to release shame and love ourselves in this moment exactly as we are. -

In the premiere episode of UNCUT: The Male Puberty Podcast, Aaron Young takes us on a raw and heartfelt journey through his adolescence, shaped by the rigid doctrines of an evangelical upbringing.
Aaron shares vivid memories of being told to "hold his seed" and grappling with the shame and confusion around his changing body and desires. When he sought guidance from his pastor about navigating a crush during puberty, he was met with warnings about “playing with fire”—a message that left him feeling isolated and unsure of how to connect with himself or others.
But this episode isn’t just about struggle; it’s about healing. We end with Aaron’s poignant and empowering song, "Listen to Your Body", where he shares the advice he now gives his nephews—wisdom he wishes someone had shared with him during those formative years.
