Just thought I would post an update. I have possibly turned the corner on controlling my sexuality. I have not had sex with my wife for a little more than a month, neither of us has asked for it, and that is perfectly fine with me. As far as I can tell our marriage is still very strong and we...

Thanks for the good advice, all of you. I've been recently making efforts to simply love and value my wife for the companionship and care she provides me. It seems to be working, I feel less anxious about sex. I've also decided that I'm going to just let her ask for sex when she wants it. As...

Good idea, I will ask the doctor about that. The more I think about it the more I find that Christian ministry and pop culture has just as large of an unhealthy obsession with sex as the secular world does. The ridiculous sex ed course I described is an excellent example, as are the various...

Hey friends. I'm a 37 year old man who is married to an awesome woman, she is the only wife I have ever had and hopefully will have. We have a daughter together. Since early adolescence I have had an extremely strong sex drive. I have had few sexual partners other than my wife, with years of no...

There are many resources available to you for free or low cost. I would start by asking a church pastor, county health department, or local charitable organizations. Unless you need medication, a psychiatrist would probably just tell you to start seeing a counsellor. Most psychiatrists only...

The church only intervenes at the request of one or both of the parties or if the dispute is impacting the church at large. This is how every Wesleyan family church I have ever been a part of deals with it. Now, the pastor and parishioners may approach the parties and offer personal advice and...

JW fasted frequently, I don't know if he prescribed the specific one I'm talking about or if that came later. Anyhow I did this fast last week and will do it again this week. Nothing magical or amazing happened but it was a good experience.

I think people with AS have a propensity to take something which other people do with no ill effects and turn it into a vice, much like their obsessions with mundane things. All my life I have been an overeater, there have been times that my favorite dish gives me a narcotic like euphoria. For...

Thanks for all the replies, I just now noticed them For some reason every time I visited this site it appeared that my initial post was the only thing in this thread. I'm not sure if I have a very severe case of AS or not. I have learned a great deal about how to keep it under wraps when I need...

These folks remind me alot of the Particular or Hard-Shell/Primitive Baptists of my state.

Anybody here do the Wesleyan Fast from Thursday evening to Friday afternoon? I think this would be a very good discipline for me and so I'm going to give it a try.

I am interested. Please tell me more.

Way after. I quit smoking on a full time basis (every day) in 2012. Once in a great while I'll have one and it reminds me why I quit. Yuck!!

I really think that we would be better off not to look to entertainment for images of what a romance should be like. Fairy tales are just that, fairy tales. I used to believe in them, and I really think those expectations kept me from finding a real romance for many years.

Hmm, I tried many of those things when I was single and they actually repelled women! For me, real romance is knowing that I can trust my wife 100% and she can trust me 100%.

Thanks. More than anything else I realize that a relationship with Jesus Christ is what I can't live without. All the counselling and meds in the world cannot deliver the kind of healing that he can!!

I chose to convert to Methodist from independent Baptist. I consider myself to be a Wesleyan Methodist who attends a UMC congregation. I like all of the churches that emerged from the eighteenth and nineteenth century Methodist revivals.

Hey folks, I'm 36 years old and have AS. Just thought I would introduce myself and talk about this condition and how it has impacted my life. I suppose I've been an odd bird ever since I was a little child. It manifested itself early on with me being fascinated by things most children are...

I catch myself doing it alot, but I think its just a bad habit not pathological.
