Hey Doug, wish you had given me this talk about 50 years ago. Keep talking brother.

[@KiltedTupiniquin]

I'm in my mid forties and I cannot tell how valuable is to hear the biblical view on all of this. I am passing it on to my sons so they don't fall into the same traps I did.

[@noyesharrigan6217]

Same, brother.

[@alleadonai]

Lol "And leave it to the government: after a generation or more of government sponsored sex ed, the end result is that nobody is quite sure what sex even is anymore." Thanks, Doug

[@michaellandry2227]

Much like what Milton Friedman said: "If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years there'd be a shortage of sand." Same thing with sex education.

[@thomasbassett4905]

Sis/cis is pure gold. God bless Doug. The takeaway from this is that to be masculine means to conquer sin.

[@ThomLately]

Beautiful teaching. Thank you Doug for this series. My prayer is that God moves to liberate his men from the plague of pornography.

Don't think you need the worldly language, but the truths here are invaluable.

[@panchocorona9506]

To Pastor Doug, Would you describe the behavior of your wife or daughters as "bitchy" when they have failed to obey the Lord? If you were to use that kind of language in describing my wife or daughter I would firmly snatch you by your collar, pull you in, and demand that you apologize. I know you know better than this. Your blog "Testosterone does this", was brilliant, it was an amazing wake up call, a reinforcement of truth, and something that I would have shared with so many fellow believers and non-believers. It was beautifully put together, but unfortunately you served it on a garbage can lid. Brother, search you heart, please don't influence your congregation to rely on crude speech ("Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving" Ephesians 5:4)and other brothers and sisters in Christ who are young in the faith to be distracted by inappropriate words. Your words are to be seasoned with the truth, and offensive because the gospel is clearly presented. I write to you as a fellow believer in Christ that has benefited greatly by your ministry and pray for all the Saints in Moscow. God bless. "If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless". - James 1:26

[@wiran_katts1347]

Started listening to your letters a few weeks ago.... Thank-you so much for your forthright approach to this topic in a world full of lies. I'm a 23 year old man and have been struggling with the truths about sex and real relationship for years. Your wisdom has been sobering and encouraging!

Definitely loved this one uncle Doug. 👍🏼❤️

[@morojkiller5418]

-Eating a better diet (vitamins + minerals; supplement with Zinc, Magnesium, D3, K2. These are vital for Test production) -Losing weight (when you have a higher bodyfat, more Test gets transformed into estrogen) -Lifting (muscle building processes encourage Test production) -Competing in Sports (competition has been proven to raise Testosterone, I recommend BJJ if you are out of School) These are 4 amazing things you should do to raise your Test. It's life changing! P.S.: Also quit wanking it... #1 It's a sin, but #2 There was study on rodents that showed frequent masturbation deactivates Testosterone receptors in the brain. Quit wanking it and you will literally start thinking more like a man! Good luck!

[@charleshayden8070]

A little pushback….over training can also result in low testosterone levels. You might be surprised to discover how many BJJ practitioners are on TRT.

[@simplelivingmontana]

So good. Thank you for the encouragement and up building.

[@arthurbradley8754]

Such a sharp presentation. Bravo

[@jayfrei]

Thank you Doug. I've actually thought a lot about a high sex drive and that porn could be a release valve and continue to grow that but alas that is a lie. Trying to use all the T to serve the Kingdom!

[@DogmaGirlAD]

Um, some of us women actually like it when our husband, who we see working hard and loving us and the kids, will pause and try to initiate sex... Oh, you think I am pretty? You are not only super committed and willing to work really hard but you want me and are trying to woo me right now? How delightful. Why yes, my husband, I am happy to do this with you. Does not a woman want to be won? And does she not want to be wanted? A good husband does this for you.

[@toddcote4904]

You missed the point. The context is of an UNmarried couple, looking to get married.

[@DogmaGirlAD]

@@toddcote4904 no, I understood that. Some not yet married girls look forward to that... I remember being in position of our dear Lauren being talked about... And I can assure you some not yet married girls have the foresight to realize that they might actually appreciate this aspect of being married and actually want to get there. Some of us get frustrated if our guy is taking too long to initiate the prerequisites of getting us a ring etc. in part because we want to be able to accept him initiating other things.

[@DogmaGirlAD]

Yes, men and women do think very differently on this. But guys should be a little bit less nervous about the way girls think about it. Not only because of course we're supposed to think differently but also because we actually want to be won over, So some amount of us waiting for you is not that we don't want you to do something, Rather it's we want you to do it because you chose to do it not because we asked you.

[@oldman8277]

@@DogmaGirlAD I know, it’s complicated, just want to insert, testosterone doesn’t produce mind reading ability 😂

[@cabbage9412]

@@DogmaGirlAD I would just like to point out that the infatuation for being won over can be a blessing and a curse I do think that men should view their mate as a prize and something to be fought for but to make a man think that they need to beat or be in competition with other men for you is very toxic I also know that it can be very temptational and sinful for a woman to keep the same mindset after marriage because it opens the door for attention and affection from other men if your husband doesn’t preform perfectly so you go somewhere else to get that feeling again men are simple if you want something just ask straight out don’t hold back and expect them to read your mind

Christianity is too radical about human sexuality. Even you, a very intelligent person, only can talk about it as if everybody is an addicted. Pastors talk like every social drinker is a crackhead.

[@ReformedSooner24]

That pointing out that porn and masturbation makes a man more effeminate…I’ve already been kinda fighting it with mixed results but that statement has allowed me to square it up as a direct obstacle in the way of the thing I want very very badly, and thus find more willpower to control myself against it when temptation comes knocking.

..."Telling time is a social construct"... SO GOOD!

[@joshlamb8163]

Don't get me wrong their is a lot of great advice in this lecture. I can also say , as an unmarried man, marriage is a good thing. So, I don't have any grievances with anything said. I just believe the above thought is incomplete, while marriage as God intended it is great and harmonious. I feel that the current laws that govern this institution, do not benefit in stabilizing said institution. I would also caution in signing a contract with the state, when making an oath to God should be than enough to suffice. I'm aware that our government was built off the logic passed down through the Bible by the creator, but I do believe marriage is an issue where we need a separation of church and state. For many reasons it seems as women are enticed not to put up with the hardships of marriage, which entices women to put their spouses through bondage. Of coarse this is going to cause resentment, but not just from the man, but also the children. If you come from a divorced family, the odds are high of you ending up divorced. I would say this also a reason for sky rocketing views of porn and masterbation. To broaden the topic, look at the way women dress now, compared to the pre welfare state. Women used to dressed more conservative, today women wear pants that show off their thongs, and where panty hose used to go under a dress, today we have rebranded them and call them yoga pants. If porn views are going up, does this have anything to do with men being bombarded with sex all day long? Why are men being bombarded all day long with sex? Because women are trying to land a man, and not for the long term, but for a paycheck. Yes, if the two get married she has a steady source of income, and if they don't she gets welfare for 18 years. So, both sexes have been trivialized and degraded, by legislation. If we want to fix this issue we need to take it out of the states hands and leave it in God's hands.

You should listen to Doug's view on the government's involvement in marriage; he has a clear point of view on this.

Please slow down. Unless you provide a transcript with footnotes to the allusions you make, you demonstrate an intellectual arrogance that separates you from your master. Seriously: please post a transcript of this post. It's valuable content, but in this current format, it's off-putting in your presentation of it. Please have compassion on those who are trying to hear what you are gifted to communicate.

If he does not reply or add a transcript, which I would enjoy myself, (will have to check out the blog -Edited-) one thing that might be beneficial for you is to slow down the playback speed. 1. Tap/click on the Settings cogwheel 2. Tap/click on "Playback Speed" 3. Select a value less than 1 (.5 or .25) that allows for his speech to go slower. Blessings

Doug, there was no need to use the B-word (2:58). There is no justification here and it's an abuse of 'Christian liberty.' Don't do that again, please.

[@philipmurray9796]

Is that worse than when God says Israel acted the harlot?

[@JosephsCoat]

I’m not convinced that stating a curse word is a sin. Verses like Ephesians 4:29, Peter 3:10, and James 3:9-12 speak of corruptive talk, not the usage of individual curse words. If he’s using a word to deliver a point (basically the function of language), I don’t see the issue. Go ahead, prove me wrong. But your argument must be exegetical.

[@TheFlyingDutchman85]

Totally agree. I had hoped to share this video with some friends of mine, but I know now that doing so would only drive the conversation to that word, rather than the point being made. It's an unnecessary distraction. Since when does the Bible consider swearing to be manly, or objecting to swearing to be weak?

[@iohannesfactotum]

This is why men at large find your faith to be mostly a joke

[@calebhoppe7597]

The B-word is wrongly used when you're cursing someone with it. I think using it to describe paganism is a great use of Christian liberty. Context shows that the word was used to shed more light on the hypocrisy of our day. Was it wrong of him to use the word to correct those who use it wrongly?

[@knowone11111]

Biblically any & all secks outside of marriage is sin. But how are you supposed to know if the person you're marrying is physically compatible with you or not? This is the reason for a lot of divorce no one wants to talk about. Check out the history of Icelands marriage laws.
