The other thing is to start being a leader in your own home. It might take longer than you want, but at least you are on your way. It will take about a year to raise your sex rank 1 point.

We are going through a similar series here in our local group. This idea of vetting a woman can be tricky stuff. One of the things that we teach is to learn about attachment styles.

So when I first read Rational Male, I saw a lot of truth in it. At least enough to keep reading. Lol. Yes, there is profanity and yes, there are some crude things here and there.

That's what white kinghts do. They are always running around protecting the ego of women.

The APA is a credible institution. The issue is more about how things happen in this country. Things change over time. In our country this is how things get changed societally. First we start to see policy changes. Then things get implemented as a result of policy changes. Then the law comes along to endorse those changes, or not. Then things get fought over in the courts.

All the school counselors and the whole legal system in this country falls in line with their most recent material every time it's published. It's not a govt entity, but it may as well be considering the pwoer and influence they have. I view the APA like I do the un-elected gov bureaucrats.

They use that particular tactic to remove kids from parents. This is the heart of the bullying rationale.

Some of the researchers saw it one way, others saw it another way. The point I was making with the post was that to just tell young guys not to masturbate is a tough sell in the modern world.

| 1 | The 5 Pillars Of An Alpha MaleSo where is the healthy balance for the A/B Scale? I teach that a healthy balance is about 3/4 Alpha and 1/4 Beta. I think that's a healthy balance for a guy to be a well rounded person. It's funny that the guys who push back on that number the most are the guys who tend toward the Alpha-Jerk side of the continuum. They protest too much me thinks...

The study detailed about 50K men over a 30 year period. Prostate cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer in men.

| 1 | What To Do About Pre-Marital Sex -- A response to StrivingforTruth116I agree with you on living a content life. I don't tell men not to masturbate. I leave that up to them. Having a sexual release is part of having a healthy body and keeping the fluids going, etc. To not masturbate and not have a release will cause a lot of problems in reproduction area. The body has to work as designed. Body fluids have to flow. Again, each guy needs to figure how what a healthy sexual release means in their own life.

With my men's group I teach the A/B scale as a continuum with Alpha behavior on the far right and Beta behavior on the far left. Ideally we want to be in the 75% Alpha range, give or take.

| 1 | Is The Church A Gateway Drug To Sexual Deviancy?So we are trying to run our modern brain in this modern world with a 2000 yr old operating system...? We are trying to solve current problems with a 2000 yr old awareness...? That sounds like a macro-level crazy-gap to me, this idea that our awareness is way back here and the reality that we live in is way over there...there is such a large gap in there between our awareness and reality on this issue...

I would be happy to play by only the church rules, if everyone else agreed to do so...but that's just not the deal in this world right now...

| 1 | Is The Church A Gateway Drug To Sexual Deviancy?But we have to find a functional pattern-interrupt somehow.

Because just to tell everyone to hurry up and get married so they can have sex is an awful idea. Young people have little awareness and no toolbox of tools to help them navigate vetting process.

And inside the church it is so put down. Probably a good place to start is to have separate groups for men and women. The groups need to be able to talk about the real issues that people are having.

If I am pulling the string how I should be, she will be faithful. A is for available. That's just too low of a bar and screams beta. I might keep the A if it was for Attractive. T is for teachable.

| 1 | Re-Posting the Post on What is SHAME. This topic deserves more discussion than what we've gotten so far.I believe that SHAME and SIN are parallel tracks. It's hard to break it down like that, but there is a difference. You can have SHAME without SIN, so they are already de-linked. SHAME and SIN don't necessarily go together. Sometimes they are found together. They are as thick as thieves those two. Sometimes they are found on their own. SIN can exist without SHAME. Serial killers and people with those personality types are uncaring and ruthless in their wrong-doing. They move on through their terr… | /r/RPChristians | 06/12/18 09:46 PM |

| 1 | For Married Men: When Constantly Initiating is not Getting the Results You WantIt's a common SHAME tactic. Shame is used to control people. It's just a SHAME trigger. Learn to recognize the triggers and you will be well on your way. I had a post on SHAME a couple days ago here. They use shame as a way to keep other guys from getting sex. It's also what I call a "biblical cop-out" technique. It's basically hiding behind the Bible and trying to force guys into a nice guy mode. We have to move beyond that stuff.

If that's all you do is point to your junk, then you deserve to get turned down and you deserve bad sex. This is a high stakes deal here guys. Put some energy into it.

| 2 | What Is Porn Anyway?Both spouses have a huge part to play in keeping their mate in a healthy state of mind when it comes to sexual areas. Spouses have the right of first refusal in the bedroom. It's beyond naive to think that guys are being denied in the bedroom that they won't seek some other outlet for their needs in this area. It's not healthy for a guy to have all that build up in the prostate area. Why do you think that prostate cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer among men?

I think most in a church atmosphere understand the damage that porn does. That's not my issue. That has been done to death by a million people in articles all over the place.

Of course, there is a whole continuum of activity on the "Sexy-Time" scale. The definition of a sexless marriage is having sex 10 times a year or less.

As I have said before, it's tough to make condemning statements about blanket topics without commenting a little bit about context. So, I'll give it a go now.
