We men like to feel manly. We like to be looked up to. We also want a place that we can call our own and not have to share it with others who like to change everything around (e.g. women).   If you’re married, there may not be much you can do to do make your place a man cave, since its likely your wife has already taken over every room in the house.  However, for single men, there is still hope.

This guest post is designed to show every single man out there how they can take their house or apartment and pull a 180 by completely transforming it from a regular living space into a man cave that will make all your friends want to stay, live and hang out at your place in their time away from their wives. Don’t get me wrong, I love women; but I do not let them come between me and the things I truly love.

There are three main parts to an apartment: a living room, bedroom and bathroom. Here is some good information to help transform your apartment into a real life man cave. (more…)

Even if you’re happily nestled in a long-term relationship with a woman that will stand the test of time, there are occasions when you need to dump the ball-and-chain and hang with the bros for a few days. While you could certainly take this opportunity to engage in various forms of debauchery, you don’t necessarily have to flirt with a breakup in order to have a good time with your buddies. The point is to clear out the estrogen with a man-centric vacation that involves absolutely no chicks. Girlfriends, wives, daughters, and any other women should understand that you need some time alone with the guys in the same way that they need shoe-shopping days and trips to the spa. So round up the usual suspects and consider a few fun ideas for a chick-free vacation.

This is a guest post from Pokerjunkie.com

Learning how to win money at poker is often the easy part; the hard part is getting time away from your wife or girlfriend to play. While a few women play alongside their boyfriends or husbands at the poker tables, it’s a rare thing indeed, with the time spent playing poker usually a sore point and source of arguments in many relationships. There’s no perfect solution to the problem but there are definitely some tactics that can help you get in more time playing poker and less time arguing about how often you play. (more…)

I’ve been working on this site almost exclusively for nearly two years. Though the site has a respectable following, I know it has the potential to do a lot better.

The main problem is that I am only one man, with one perspective on life. I’m a white guy in my late 20’s and recently married so I can only write about life from that perspective. I envision Living with Balls as a site where men of all ages and lifestyles can make a few jokes about their lives.

I’d like to have all types of people write on this site. I want to hear about a 21-year old college kid and his quest to get drunk and sleep with freshmen or the 40-year old married man dealing with raising teenage daughters. I want to have men of all ages and lifestyles coming to read content on this site. I want people to come here and get excited when their favorite writer has just posted new content.

I also don’t have the time to write posts on a consistent basis. I have a busy life like anyone else, and this is something I do as a hobby with my spare time. It’s challenging to always come up with original, funny pieces. Sometimes inspiration hits me and I come with brilliant posts like this one or this one. But more often than not, I am struggling to come up fresh content. (more…)

This is a guest post from Dr. Faust from The Lamest. I also did a guest post on his site which can be read here.

Advertising has been the cornerstone of human commerce for as long as mankind has had branded products to sell. Archeologists believe the first such product was a caveman marital aid called the “hit on her” club.

Since that first clever caveman marketing campaign, advertising methods have evolved.

Ancient advertising companies generally employed the “buy this [insert product here] or god will smite the shit out of you” approach. Buyers soon became tired of this advertising technique and as a result marketing executives were whipped, crucified or forced to duel it out with Russell Crowe if they ever pitched the “Smitey God” angle to clients.

Dark Ages advert executives learned from their slain marketing forbears by taking a more uplifting positive advertising angle. The problem was the average consumer at the time was penniless, had leprosy and was stuck farming bland vegetables on some crap farm in county serfdom. (more…)

This is a historic day for Living with Balls. For the first time in LWB history, we have a female contributor. Bejewell who has a blog called The Bean, has agreed to do a guest post. Her blog is one of my personal favorites so I’m very excited to have her on board.

As you can see by the title, she has an interesting sense of humor. Check out her awesome skit below…

Bejewell: I’m doing research about balls.

Husband: Why are you researching balls?

Bejewell: Because I’m writing a guest post for John.

Husband: Who’s John?

Bejewell: John is a guy with a blog called “Living With Balls.”

Husband: John has a blog about his balls?

Bejewell: Yeah.  Well, I mean, it’s not JUST about balls.  It’s about all kinds of man stuff. (more…)

I recently wrote a guest post over at Regretful Morning titled Seven of the Luckiest Men in America. Here’s a teaser…

Some guys have all the luck. While most men bust their ass to get ahead in life, some men have been fortunate enough to achieve the dreams of many, while doing very little. This can be anything from becoming famous, to earning lots of money, or to sleeping with a woman that is way out of their league.

Now this list doesn’t include people who have truly earned “the good life.” You won’t see guys like Tom Brady or Justin Timberlake because they have talent and have worked hard to achieve fame, fortune and an endless amount of pussy. These are simply men who have no business being in the position they are. These are some of the luckiest men in America. Read the rest of my guest post here

In the land of raunchiness and filth, Urban Dictionary is king.  Whether you are on the prowl for the trendiest new curse word (see: gunt) or an out of this world sex move (see: Swedish Periscope), the UD is the only place to go.  In my morning Internet rundown, there are really only 3 or 4 sites that I absolutely must visit: first is obviously The Campus Socialite, next is ESPN.com, third is Asscafe.com (gotta stay up on the new video content), and the fourth has to be Urban Dictionary.  Between their “Word of the Day” feature and their hilarious use of terms in sentences (i.e. “Chuck Norris once uppercutted a horse, we now call that animal a giraffe”), Urban Dictionary is the only place to go when looking to expand your mortifying vocabulary.  To commemorate a site that would even make Hollywood’s most foul-mouthed actor (Samuel L. Jackson) proud, The Campus Socialite presents the best definitions of Urban Dictionary.
