cuffed isn’t for everyone.

it’s for people who are tired of performance.

tired of swipe fatigue.

tired of being desired—but not known.

this is work for men who feel like no one ever taught them how to be emotionally present without losing their edge.

and for women who’ve been collateral damage in that silence.

if this hits you, you’re home.

if it doesn’t, you weren’t ready.

—

what cuffed is:

• a place where masculinity isn’t loud—it’s grounded

• writing about sex, power, trust, restraint, and emotional safety

• conversations that ask more of you than confidence or charm

• intimacy framed as something earned, not performed

this isn’t advice.

it’s confrontation.

—

what cuffed stands for:

truth over performance.

presence over technique.

loyalty over leverage.

emotional safety over empty promises.

dominant sex rooted in trust—not ego.

the kind of connection that requires you to actually show up.

—

what you’ll get:

• two issues per week (tuesday + thursday)

• brutally honest writing on dating, betrayal, desire, and emotional psychology

• work that makes you think—not posture

• a growing conversation with men + women who are done pretending

—

why people stay:

because cuffed doesn’t flinch.

it says the things you’ve been thinking—

but couldn’t say out loud.

and maybe most importantly:

it’s trying to make men emotional again.

not soft.

not passive.

present.

about the author:

i’m not a therapist.

i’m not a coach.

i’m a man who’s lived it—

heartbreak, betrayal, rebuilding, restraint, starting over.

i started cuffed because artists like juice wrld, glown-up eminem, and justin furstenfeld (blue october) made vulnerability feel like rebellion.

their honesty gave me the courage to speak mine.

now i write for the men who feel unseen—

and the women who’ve been asking them to show up.
