Thank you to Andy & Nicholas for this beautiful chat betweeen two #ChildlessMen. Thank you too for talking about the impact of infertility & childlessness on your and your wife's sexual relationship - like you said, this all needs to be 'normalized'. https://bbc.in/2O0jDLg

@SikhumbuzoDube "Going public about my situation as a childless man has not gone without scorn and ridicule. So sensitive is the issue of infertility that men are not expected to be talking about it.” https://bit.ly/3cbteH4 #ChildlessMen

"Since every dream promises a new identity, every broken dream can bring with it a broken sense of self. When infertility robs you of being a ‘father’ what else can you become?" @sheridanvoysey for Gateway Women 2019.

"I’ll be honest I don’t really think about Father’s Day beyond getting a card and sorting something to do with my own Dad [...] I guess for me it’s not until I’m faced with the reality of not being a dad that it comes into my mind."

"As a childless man in my late fifties, quite often people say to me “You’re a man – you can reproduce until you die! Look at (insert name of film/music/broadcaster/rich man). He was a father at (insert age over 50).” @RobinHadley1 https://bit.ly/2YUHptA #childlessmen
For #FathersDay 2020, Michael Hughes @TheFullStop1 describes his experience as the male half of a childless heterosexual couple - video involves rugby & GoT references: "Because it’s no secret, we are the forgotten of the forgotten.” https://bit.ly/3fGlFIY #ChildlessMen #CNBC
