"You are sexually pure when no sexual gratification comes from anyone or anything but your wife.”--Steve Arterburn

 

Ephesians 5:31 says “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh…”   

When those of us who desire marriage imagine walking down the aisle, I think it’s a forgone conclusion (for most of us at least) that this man...

"I think all women in Hollywood are known as sex symbols. That's what our purpose is in this business. You're merchandised, you're a product. You're sold and it's based on sex. But that's okay. I think women should be empowered by that, not degraded." - Megan Fox


Yeah, the only way that quote is an empowering statement, is if you look like Megan Fox! All women in Hollywood are not sex symbols....

"Pornography is dangerous because it rewires the brain to believe that what is sexy is anonymous sex, rather than the relationship. It makes sex physical, rather than about emotional intimacy. Soon it loses the ability to cause emotional intimacy, and emotional intimacy loses the ability to cause any sexual feelings. In fact, while he’s making love to you he may even have to fantasize or...

C: "I'm a newlywed and while I love my husband with all of my heart, I'm just not sexually satisfied with him and so I can't help but to think about other men I've been with when we're...engaged. Is that a bad thing and if so, will it do more harm than good to tell him about what I've been thinking about?"

A: Let's break this down bit by bit. You say you love your husband with all your heart...

C: "I've never been one to really have an opinion about porn, one way or another. But, I figured that since my husband likes it that I would give it a try to see if it would enhance our relationship. It just doesn't appeal to me and a part of me wonders if it's a 'woman thing' that I don't like it. Especially since so many men seem to enjoy engaging in it. My husband and I both feel like our...

C: "I'm a stripper and I also work with the youth at my church. I sometimes feel guilty about it, but not really because I think stripping is a sin but more because I'm hiding it. I'm not having sex, the men don't touch me and I think a body is nothing to be, pardon the pun, 'naked and ashamed' of. I'm not sure what I'm doing is wrong in the eyes of God or it's just something that the church...

C: "I love my husband but I am not sexually satisfied and porn and masturbation is the only way that I can climax. What should I do?"

 

A: Here is the thing that we have to understand about our sexuality: Our bodies get trained how to respond sexually. Your sexual buttons have been programmed to function in response to porn and self-stimulation. Your mind and body have been taught to perform...

C: "I am in a relationship with a guy who claims to be a Christian but he's really into porn. We've been talking about getting married, but I'm just not sure if it's the right thing to do. Can you help me?"

A: Having been married to a porn-addicted, unfaithful man who also claimed to be a Christian, I have this piece of solid advice to offer you: LOOK BEFORE YOU JUMP!

Although I’m not sure...

C: "I just got engaged but my boyfriend and I are waiting until marriage because he wants to wait (I'm not as convicted about sex before marriage as he is). What he doesn't know is that I've engaged in oral sex with my ex-boyfriend leading up to our engagement. Not all of the time, but whenever I feel like I am going to die without the release. I've since ended the relationship and I know my...

C: "I'm in a relationship with a guy and its pretty serious but I engage in cybersex from time to time with other people. Personally, I don't think it's a big deal being that I'm never going to meet those men and I'm not technically doing anything wrong. Do you think that I'm cheating?"

A: We live in a very interesting time. We have several things which can distract us on a momentary basis:...
