At Relational Ground, Dominick explores how men’s health, relationships, and societal change intersect through stories, research, and global perspectives. This work examines how cultural norms and systemic barriers shape men’s experiences with reproductive health, family planning, and emotional well-being. From global fertility trends to fathers’ roles in sexual health and the NFL’s platform for men’s health, Relational Ground challenges outdated narratives and offers practical solutions. Its relational approach emphasizes connection—between partners, families, communities, and health systems—as a catalyst for stronger public health and healthier lives.

Individualism Under Constraint
Childlessness in the United States is increasingly common, but rarely experienced the same way. Drawing on national surveys, demographic research, and studies of permanent contraception, this essay examines how Americans are navigating fertility, identity, and permanence in an era shaped by economic insecurity, delayed independence, and policy uncertainty.
Friendship Markets and the Quiet Crisis of Men’s Connection
This essay explores the idea of “friendship markets” — the social environments that make connection possible — and why those markets collapse for many men in adulthood. Drawing on cultural analysis rather than self-help advice, it argues that men’s loneliness is less about personal failure and more about structural design: workplaces, norms, and institutions that discourage connection. The piece examines how friendship forms through identity, transition, and shared purpose, and highlights legitimate on-ramps into belonging such as training groups, fatherhood cohorts, service teams, and recovery circles. The result is a reframing of men’s isolation as a cultural and infrastructural challenge, not an individual flaw.
