The Contemporary Man Magazine june 2018

The Contemporary Man THE MISSION: is Hoping to become one of the world's most popular men's lifestyle magazine. includes monthly features on subjects such as fashion, fitness, dating, money and entertainment. Tips from style on choosing a new suit to workout advice on modernizing tired fitness routines complement editorial features on relationships, finance and entertainment. It is my life’s mission to transform the lives of MEN through my programs and books as well through my information online. I want to see you succeed. Words such as honor, loyalty, trust, integrity, and courage are words that have powerful meanings, but they are only words unless you live by them. As I talk with other men, I can see that there is a massive need for learning how to be a better father. But I’ve also seen a need for reliable and honorable men outside of the home. Guys, we’re losing the meaning of manhood. We’ve gone away from being reliable, rugged, independent, and tough to a collection of wimpy, dependent, whiners. Something has got to be done! “Some say there is no such thing as an Alpha made Man’s man. That nothing can be accomplished in life without the help of others. That a man cannot reach his goals without assistance. And while that may be true, these people are not the source or the cause of his success. A man becomes an Alpha made the moment he decides to shape his world, rather than be formed by it. It is a spark… A decision… An internal will that can never be given by another and that can never be purchased or borrowed. At that moment, he becomes the sole architect and artist of his life - an Alpha made Man’s man, where the rest of the world serves as the hammer and chisel he wields in order to shape it to his desire. The Contemporary Man was created for men who want to achieve greatness. Who wants to leave their mark on the world, and create a legacy of honor, integrity, and achievement in every aspect of their lives.” -Travis S. Miller Editor-in-Chief/Founder of the Contemporary Man.

How To Make “Friends With Benefits”<br />

4<br />

<strong>The</strong> sexual landscape has gotten more interesting, more free, and more complicated,<br />

and there are more socially acceptable choices for having a sexual relationship than<br />

ever before.<br />

I currently know two "groups" who are living completely openly as "3 or more"<br />

relationships. One of them is a complex arrangement of 5 individuals, all of whom feel<br />

like "family" together, all have multiple lovers inside of the group (though not everyone is<br />

romantically/sexually attached to everyone else), and they are all in a committed<br />

relationship to the group…<br />

Openly and publicly… they do not hide their family of choice arrangements.<br />

On the other extreme, I have friends (both male and female) who have multiple "booty<br />

call" partners or "fuck buddies," but have no romantic or emotional commitments to<br />

anybody.<br />

(On a third extreme, of course, I know some voluntary celibates too, but this is a blog<br />

about sex after all).<br />

And, in case you're only interested in the old-fashioned "vanilla" relationship —<br />

committed to just one person (my personal favorite) — don't fret, because I don't think<br />

that's going to go away, and there are plenty of people from both sexes who are still<br />

interested in pursuing that particular kind of devotion.<br />

I meet a lot of both men and women who are interested in experimenting with having<br />

more sexual availability in their lives, especially when in between relationships, by<br />

cultivating “fuck buddies” and “friends with benefits”, but are frustrated by not knowing<br />

how to comfortably get into those kinds of relationships, or how to confidently ask for<br />

what they want.<br />

I got this question recently in an email from my reader Tony, which is the subject<br />

of this article…<br />

“Do you have any advice on moving a friendship into, for example, a friends with benefits<br />

situation? It seems hard to change your role with somebody once it’s established.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> reason that it SEEMS hard to change your role with somebody once it's established<br />

is that changing anything is always harder than leaving everything the way it is… doing<br />

something is harder than doing nothing.<br />

<strong>The</strong> real issues here are that you feel the sense of risk with someone you already know<br />

because there is the possibility of rejection, and that rejection is shared with a friend, and<br />

potentially if they are part of the rest of your social group, shared with them too.
