He hides it, but he craves it: comfort, touch, closeness.
This book redefines softness as strength —
and gives men permission to want to be held.

Men are told comfort is weakness.
That asking to be held is shameful.
But deep down, every man longs for it.

It’s Not Weak to Want to Be Held reclaims tenderness as strength. Stone reminds men that craving touch doesn’t strip away masculinity — it completes it. This is permission to want softness, without apology.
