    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

    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.

    -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!

      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.

    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.

      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.
