The Masculinity Roundtable: Four Seacoast Men Open Up About Insecurities, Sex, & What Women Actually Want

Where are all the Seacoast men?

Every week, it feels like a new women's group pops up. And understandably so! Women NEED a safe space to gather, connect, and feel safe. "Seacoast Stories" supports all of those groups.

But we also recognize that men need connection, too, especially as traditional masculinity has come under intense public scrutiny in recent years, partly leaving men to feel like they're to blame for all of society's issues.

What even is masculinity? What does it mean to be a man in 2025?

From the West End of Portsmouth, host Troy Farkas sits down with three other Seacoast men to *try* to get to the bottom of these answers. On this episode, spiritual guide Seth Pearson, podcast host Andy Demeo, and tech entrepreneur Ryan Lambert join "Seacoast Stories" to discuss problems facing young men today, how parenting has changed (for the worse), what women really seek in their male partners, how a man should show up sexually, the importance of confidence and financial stability, why men are "maladapted" for the modern world, men's groups, and even ... mud wrestling?
