HS Brotherhood
Real Talk: Men, HS, Intimacy & Identity — A Crossover Conversation
Parish and Joey join Brindley and Cyd for a deep, unfiltered conversation about what it means to be a man living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa. This crossover episode pulls back the curtain on the experiences most men carry silently—including the pressures of dating, showing up in relationships, managing health setbacks, and redefining what strength really looks like.
Inside this conversation, they dive into:
• The truth about dating with HS and deciding when to disclose
• Intimacy struggles men rarely admit—including fear, shame, and ED
• Losing independence and learning to accept help
• Challenging the idea that “providing = masculinity”
• Why the HS Brotherhood group matters—and how it’s creating a safe space for men to finally talk openly
If you’ve ever felt isolated or like no one understands what you’re carrying, this episode is a reminder: you’re not alone, and your story matters.
