Four days after a robot-assisted simple prostatectomy, Michael sits down with Alonzo for an unusually candid conversation about what brought him to surgery and what recovery actually feels like while it is still happening. From years of worsening urinary symptoms and medications that eventually stopped being enough, to an enlarged prostate, bladder diverticula, surgery, a catheter, and the first days afterward, Michael shares the parts men rarely talk about—and the one thing he wishes he had done much sooner: learn what was happening inside his own body and ask more questions.

Most of us were taught that the clitoris is a tiny spot somewhere near the top of the vulva. That is true in roughly the same way that saying an iceberg is the part sticking out of the water is true. In Polyam Wellness E011, Kelsey Ireland takes us beyond the little man in the boat and into the anatomy most of us were never actually taught. Where the clitoris is, how much of it exists beneath the surface, why different bodies respond differently, and why knowing the anatomy matters for pleasure, communication, medical care and understanding your own body. Finding the clitoris was never supposed to be a trick.

Periods are normal. They can also hurt, exhaust you, wreck your sleep, upset your stomach, change your mood, and generally make an ordinary day a lot harder. In Polyam Wellness E010, “Periods Suck: A Men’s Primer,” Kelsey Ireland gives men the education most of us never got. What a period actually is, why cramps happen, what PMS and PMDD mean, when pain or bleeding deserves medical attention, what menstrual products actually do, and perhaps most importantly, how to support someone without trying to explain their own body back to them. You do not have to experience a period to understand one. You just have to learn enough to stop being useless when someone you care about is having one.
