This one is hard. At first I thought I shouldn’t be so open. Then I realized: hiding almost killed me. Maybe sharing will bring counsel that helps me survive. It was 2021. A few weeks before the final exams that would take me to university. One thing was clear: I wanted to be stroked as part of my preparation. Though I was in a boys’ boarding school, i could not let boys have a chance on me. since, I was respected as former chair of the religious association and General Secretary of student government. Yes, you read that right. Being gay didn’t stop me from leading prayers or running school politics. I was good at both. So I asked for 3 days leave to my aunt’s place. Far from school. The leave was rejected. I didn’t care. I was thirsty. Facebook was my tool. I found a light-skinned guy, Manly made. I couldn’t wait any longer. I went to his place. Small talk. Then I was all in. He fucked me like a criminal. Like an animal. Like my pleasure didn’t matter. It was rape. Nothing funny about it. After, he asked for money. I had none. So he told me to go test for HIV after one once, I was nervous. Why do that to an innocent soul? The story doesn’t end there. I went back to him, He and his friend stroked me again like i was addicted to it, No condom. Later I started getting sick. Fever. Hair on my pillow. My uniform hanging on my bones. Anxiety that wouldn’t sleep. God is good. Two month later, I went to test before joining three months compulsory military training, my blood was clean, NEGATIVE... I’m happy. I’m proud of the path I’ve walked. I’m cautious now. Please. Don’t be a heartless creature. Protect others.

So I usually don’t post about my personal story on social media, but I took a risk yesterday and did exactly that. And I so far have received 967 likes and 5,000 views.Wild and amazing !

The three months cover: Month 1 — Get To Know Yourself Month 2 — Your Body And Your Mind (Overall Health) Month 3 — Love And Real Connection Every month looks like this: Week 1 — Brotherhood Call. Open conversation, whatever comes up. Week 2 — Hot Seat. Three members coached live, 20 minutes each. Week 3 — Brotherhood Call. We go deeper. Week 4 — Expert Call. A specific topic, someone teaching, then Q&A. Both Monday 6pm PDT and Wednesday 11am PDT every week — so no matter where you are in the world, there’s a call for you. Starting June 1st everyone gets two weeks free. Hop on a call. Show up. That’s where the magic happens. After two weeks you can upgrade your membership to keep access to live calls and recordings.
