Hey, not sure if you are looking for an answer to the questions you posed above, or if you already got answers. In case you are seking an answer:The nature of the male sex drive is as you describe. But the Bible has numerous verses about self control relating to the male sex drive, including...

A great book for all couples, married or about to marry, is "Understanding the mind of a Woman" by ken Nair and a similar book in the Every Man series called "Every Man's Marriage." After 11 years of marriage, I can say Nair hits the nail on the head page after page. I think Nair's book is...

That is really good news. I know it really helps me to deal with temptation knowing my wife is keeping a watchful eye out and that she keeps me accountable.

You are absolutely correct.

If you are not peaceful about his deciet reagarding inappropriate content/masturbation and or his going to Hooters, I think it is natural. Check out Mathew 5:28 and Job 31:1. You may also want to read Every Heart Restored and/or An Affair of the Mind. Either one available at amazon.com. You may also want to...

Don't know if you are still around, but purity is one of those scary things. Check out "And the Bride Wore White" and Secret Keeper" both at purefreedom.com or .org--don't recall which or you can get the books from most book sellers. Also a great eye opener--though written for boys-- is "Every...

I suggest using a couple of books: Who Moved the Goal Post; and Every Young Man's Battle.

Biblically speaking the issue is lust. inappropriate content is bad because it is used solely to arouse lust. However, anything one uses other than one's spouse for arousal is sinful. That is true whether it is Playboy, Victoria's Secret, a girl walking down the street... If you have any doubts see Mathew 5:28...

I think you are doing a great job!

I was not suggesting that you forbid them to be together, but rather together alone.

Check out "Who Moved the Goal Post" or "Every Young Man's Battle". Teens have no business being alone together, so make sure that does not happen.

Glad that it looks like things are moving in the right direction. You may want to suggest some resources to your parents-in- laws such as "Every Heart Restored" and "Every Man's Battle".

This book--and the companion for boys--are two that I have added to our church resources on purity. The parents who have mentioned the books to me have been very positive. In the area of modesty, I highly recommend "Secret Keeper".

Maybe this is a stupid question, but aside from the inappropriate content issue, how is your marriage? Do you two go to church; can you both see your priest/pastor about this?

I know we are giving advice to one person here, but I can tell you the number of male teens with problems of one degree or the other in this area is approaching 100%. It is an area families and churches really need to make sure they deal with as they nurture spiritual development.

Moving the computer into an area where he won't be tempted to mis-use it is a very good step. Add something that you can check where he goes on it for those times when you are not around. "Every Young Man's Battle" is a good book, and I would recommend re-reading it individualy or in a group...

Well while we are expressing our curiosity, is it really possible for females to undergo an operation that will prevent them from having [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]? Never heard of such a thing. I have heard of a cliterotomy (sp?) but never new the motivation for them.

Sounds as if you are having great success.Help me to understand a little better. How long has it been since you did it? Before you stopped, how often were you doing it? Do I understand you are still tempted to do it and you have sexual dreams--how often?

I am not arguing, but if it was a sign to set people apart, I can think of more obvious places to put a sign. :) I do not think anyone argues that circumcision means no masturbation. Rather, in arguments against circumcision, they claim the removal of the foreskin results in much less...

A good suggestion, and you may want to consider what other ways inappropriate material may be getting into the home.
