Father's day can be a difficult day for many. Those who've lost their father, those with father's who are absent or abusive. Those also who had father's never able to show emotion or able to say that they loved you. With all the shit going on in the world, most of it from the actions of sociopathic men, it's more important than ever to celebrate positive role models. Men who support, inspire and who lift us up. Fathers, step-fathers, mentors, teachers and erotic educators.
Most of us know, that fatherhood has nothing to do with the men whose sperm was lucky enough to find, and then fuse with an egg's plasma membrane. Fathers are the men who are there for us. The men that teach us, the men we look up to and the men who care, love and guide us. The men who don't abandon us, especially during the times we push them away, when of course, we need them the most.
Although I've been celebrating holidays for awhile, it wasn't until my own father died that I was motivated to celebrate the day on the site. I was very lucky, I had a good father, not perfect but good. He was kind, gentle man, and someone who never had an unkind word about anyone. He's wasn't especially affectionate, but he demonstrated his love through just being there. He couched my hockey team, and never missed a game, play or event I was involved in.
I find Father's Day a tricky holiday for FH. My goal isn't to sexualize fathers, especially not our own. Through my work, I've met many unhealthy and abusive parents. With this in mind, I try to straddle a fine line. The men who support and nurture us, are often the men who guide us through puberty and our sexual growth. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. So... the images featured are not meant to represent actual father's and sons, but guys and their daddies. The sexual scholars so many of us graduated to and from.
👔 HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! 👔
