What we’re about
First, MeetUp makes you pick a city as a base, so the city will change often to get on guy’s radar throughout New England. The intent of building this group is for members to join from all over New England. The more members we have, the more events we can host throughout the area. The goal is to get to a critical mass that hosting pop-up events with special guests results in full guest lists. So please reach out to join regardless of where you live! Or even if you’re seasonal!
This group is designed to connect gay men with other gay men in group or one-on-one sessions of shared male intimacy. There may be events that are specific to experience levels or physical limits, but all are welcome to use this platform to connect.
Sharing techniques, instructional sessions, or simply exploration may be themes of events with the main goal to embrace our bodies, our sensuality and our connective ability with other gay men through varying levels of intimacy and touch.
Group sessions may be guided or free-flowing based on session structure.
As this group builds more events and workshops will follow.
Please note: The concept of this group is to explore male intimacy in an open, honest, and shame-free way. If you are comfortable and confident in your own sexuality there is no reason to remain in the shadows - even if you think you have a job that would frown upon it. Please have a face pic (or body & face pic) as your profile. This may be the first step for many of you to let go of the paranoia about shame and guilt and these are the beginning steps to understanding the complex levels of gay male intimacy.
Yes, this is mostly for gay men. If you identify as bi-sexual, this is not ruled out, but you must have an understanding that being bi-sexual does not mean living a double life or being on the DL. Being bisexual is allowing yourself as a whole to experience and enjoy different human intimacies. To not understand the difference effects the energy of the group. Sharing the purpose of connection and intimacy is key in expanding one’s life experience. Learning more about male intimacy and ourselves is paramount in living these principles freely in our everyday lives and NOT using this platform as something alternative to your current situation.
Lastly, this group is largely geared towards GenX age members. Those who are entering their mid-forties and getting close to mid-sixties: roughly ages 45-63. This is a complex generation that developed in a time that IS their shared experience. This is the first generation that had more legal options for openness and family while still raised in a gender-role dominated society placing pressures of manhood & masculinity. While Millenials are free to join, please know these differences. For Boomers, this is for those of you who chose a different path than what society laid out for you and paved the way for the next generations. Your insight is valued. We all are looking to be healed, but we all do not share the same wounds.
