If a great percentage of men can't help the way they are made meaning they were made to think about sex every 7 minutes and made to be tempted day in and day out sexually, then does that also apply to Jesus? What I mean is that if Jesus was a man and was tempted in every way, then did Jesus think about sex every 7 minutes too? Was he as tempted ...

I think a big reasoning for men more often than women to use porn or to indulge in lust is do to a taught and learned behavior.  Early on from childhood and on boys are handled different than girls. Girls and women could be quite lustful and sexually aggressive if they were given the okay or  approval to do it.  Are men more ...

GloryOne: I don't mean to be argumentative, but my ex's expectation was that I would reinact sexual scenes from porn with other people -- my expectation (if any) from romance novels, would have been a loving and romantic relationship.  I really can't see the comparison.  They don't compare! The impact of porn verses romance novels ...

We don't have any gender bashing sermons at our church either. We have had some sermons that did touch some on adultery, but it was clearly addressed to husbands and wives. 

chaz345: pooh girl: Back to OP questions, shouldn't the church address both traditional porn and explicit novels I would say yes.  If, they both create lust or sexaul fantasy seems to me they should both be addressed.  Regardlesss men or women. Even half the TV shows they make now are full of sex or other trash.  It's hard to ...

Romance novels found in most stores are quite sexually explicit.  They are alot more than some fairytale romance store.  I don't read romance novels, but the few I did read in years past where I  picked up in regular stores where arrousing.  Good grief they went into a bit of detail about things it would be hard not to ...

Our SS teacher mentioned in an example today that he is very good at his profession because he can focus in soley on the details of a something at work and resolve the problem. So, he is one of the top go to people because of that. His problem at home can be he says is he is the same way and doesn't like interuptions when he is working on fixing ...

chaz345: pooh girl:Do you find that you two have the same standards of cleaning, laundry or house upkeep?  Or are they pretty different and if so how do work through it? Our how is picked up, not messy but we dh and I clean differently.We've definitely got different standards. But we've come to understand those differences. I think a lot of ...

chaz345: pooh girl: chaz345:There were several comments about how the woman has to come home from work and basically do another whole job while he just comes home and ''veges out''.  Ask yourself how true this really is? Does he really do almost nothing, or all that much less than you do around the house? Or is it maybe at least partially ...

Holten: pooh girl:I think the nothing part that knawed at me was the idea that a man does nothing or is thinking about nothing because it's the way he is made notion and has that as an excuse when something is needed and instead nothing is given? I agree with you - ''that's the way I''m made'' is not a valid excuse for failing to do something ...
