Rebel Magazine

Rebel media is a group of guys (and a handful of girls) that believe in change. Not cosmetic change found in spray-on tans and six pack abs, but the sort of transitional change inspired from within. This might sound odd coming from a media outlet... that's OK. We hope

through our publication, website, and community outreach to raise awareness, generate buzzworthy chatter and challenge today's cultural norms. We hope to promote a perspective that is rare in our society. A perspective that is pure and purposeful. Common. Clear. Committed. Our goal is to expose the issues that affect men, and why. The real issues. The kind men face in tough times and flush times. The kind that challenge character and create better individuals.

Let's face it: men are notoriously poor communicators. By examining pop culture in unique and informative ways, rebel hopes to create a platform in which men can feel comfortable discussing real issues. Admittedly, some of the topics we cover will induce feelings of angst, guilt, and sometimes denial. But through a collaborative effort of strong and safe networks, we believe men can be more effective communicators, better leaders... better human beings. We know that our content can, at times, be challenging; but isn't that what creates a rebel? Exposing the truths behind popular issues and discovering a root cause is the rebel intent. We have our lighthearted moments, we aren’t always “edgy”. Men are men, after all. We like nice things. So rebel will also explore the latest in health, wellness, travel, art

s, entertainment and more. But with a bit of a rebellious nature. After all, we're not mainstream media. We challenge today’s popular culture.

The current issue discusses sex addiction - a topic that has plagued our society for years, and

until recently, be regarded as a condition, rather than an illness. The recent Tiger Woods scandal, paired with the Jesse James betrayal has helped bring sexual addiction to t

he mainstream media. With the help of the Sonoran Healing Center in Phoenix, AZ, rebel tackles this tough issue and defines, among other things, the composition of sexual addiction. Other great topics in this issue deal; "women on men" we take three female bloggers and ask them to expose the truth on Affliction, the men

's clothing line. We also interview former Pittsburgh Pirates baseball star Al Martin, and find out how an elite athlete and formidable sports star deals with loss, g

rief, and healing......

The next issue, our Moral Issue, is set to his newsstands on August 1, 2010.
