And one BIG problem is that a man who goes to hookers/porn does not know he is lousy in bed MrRollieEyes because he thinks that he "pleased" a female who was PAID to act as if he was/is a fantastic stud.

He is no such thing.
He's lousy. He just thinks he's all that and a bag of Dorito chips.

Thanks Pep - this is so refreshing. My struggle has been on my WH have a great sex life with the wh0re, and I know he can't because he and I were one.

You cannot have great sex when you steal the body and murder the soul. Jesus told us let no man divide.

Dr. Harley has such a great approach to solve so many issues, and I look forward to the day I can put his great teachings into practice.

Pepperband,
Correct on all points.

I think its important to remember that Porn is an insidious, long term killer. It starts out with National Geographic or Sunday ads and slowly ramps up to the hell you describe. In fact the "world" encourages guys to treat women like porn stars. It's the exact opposite of what God designed sex to be. Its all about "me" and not your partner or the woman on the screen.

Another point is how boys grow up. Without a strong, Christian father figure to teach a boy how to treat women and wives they boys will turn to the bad influences like Playboy or such.

And this lousy-in-bed hooker/porn using husband husband might even lament the following about his betrayed wife:

I had an awfully strong father figure, and I still got involved in porn.

Maybe it was the lack of a mother figure!

Maybe it's just a temptation that's out there to grab anybody it can reach.

Frankly, I think if you are never taught to respect the bodies of men and women--doesn't matter who teaches you, IMO--that it can happen either way.


One year becomes two, two years becomes five, five becomes ten and before you know it, you've wasted your whole life on a problem you can't solve. That's one way to spend your life. -rwinger

I will not spend my life this way.

WOW!
Wish I had thunk this up!
The thoughts & feelings behind PB's post match mine to a Tee!
My WH continues the denial that he struggles with porn since I caught him using it on D-Day!
He says that since he got caught, he is now cured...
My struggle lies in not feeling safe with him because I do not think he is being H&O with me about his "urges" to use porn/chat rooms!
His "struggles" are between him and God...
I am not included...
Therefore, I feel "used" when we have sex...
I do not know what it feels like to "make love" with him,just sex!
He becomes defensive & angry when I bring up my thoughts & feelings about porn because that proves that I have not "forgiven & forgotten" his sin...
Thank you, PB for this!

LoveIs, tell him you can't forgive if he isn't repenting.

And ask him to read Dr. Harley's article on Just Compensation.

Maybe I can add my two cents, maybe even twenty cents due to inflation. I think the way men and women operate are totally different. For a man it is about the conquest and the supposed victory when he can take a lot of women to bed. Men somehow feel that this will make him a man amongst the boys.

But, Oh boy, don�t expect him to marry a prostitute � what is his preference � he want to marry a virgin.
Now my question � how the hell will you be able to find virgins if you want to conquer all virgins before marriage and how can you expect what you are not willing or cannot give.

Make no mistake, from roundabout age fourteen (Hmmmmmm now I am talking a long, long, long time ago, heck that make me sound like donkey in Shrek), men have only two things on their mind - cars and girls, obviously at that age they cannot afford cars so they opt for the girls. But way in the day there were certain rules of �engagement� � you can look but not touch and yes we sure looked but that is where it stayed.

Nowadays it seems that these rules of �engagement� do not apply anymore. A man that want to stay a virgin until marriage is frowned upon, as if something is seriously wrong and he does not possess the masculinity that is expected of the male species.

Women wanted a man that can love them, support them and make them feel secure, he must be her protector not her conqueror. Yea, they knew how to tease men without been trashy, but that was part of the ritual for men and women to find the perfect match. There were respect for oneself and for each other.

I am afraid that the game changed totally, the rules of �engagement� changed or do not apply anymore because instead of the hunter, the man, became the hunted. The delicate process of mate finding and flirting seems to be flying out the window.

It seems more like a business transaction rather than a delicate and beautiful dance of love and enchantment. That is why, at the first sign of trouble divorce seems to be the best and only option.
Unfortunately this did not learn them the skills to negotiate and compromise and consider each others feelings. This lack of skill is apparent in the business world as well, it is a matter of eat or be eaten. I am not sure where this attitude started � from businessmen and women taking this attitude home and implemented it into there daily lives or vice versa.

Nevertheless, this inability or lack to negotiate and compromise, leave the love that is left in sheds and the husband start to lookup other places to have his sexual needs met. I deliberately do not name this SF because this is not fulfillment � fulfillment is the met of the physical and emotional need of SF. There is no way that this prostitute can fulfill the emotional need of SF.

And let be frank � the physical fulfillment last only a day or two but the emotional fulfillment of SF last a lifetime.

This inability to satisfy the emotional part of SF make them rotten lovers. Without the emotional part of SF this is nothing more than self satisfaction of visiting a prostitute. The outcome is the same. You are still left empty after such a visit.

Just printed Just Compensation by Dr. H.
Marcos ~
I believe H is repentant.
And, I believe H continues to struggle with the addiction that the "enemy" planted in him when he started using porn!
Until we get to Heaven, unfortunately, life here on this side of heaven is going to be filled with trials...
Our choices will determine whether or not we seek forgiveness from God, our Father, and our spouses...
Praise Him that once we meet our Savior in His kingdom, all of this will not even matter.
Right?
The hard part is living on "this" side of Heaven and having to suffer the consequences of our choices.
Going through the course/teaching that God has set before us ~ And ~ Whether or not we "learn" from Him about how to live lives that glorify Him ~ And ~ Whether or not we pass His "tests" . . .
Well, I believe God's design for us to "surrender" to Him in passing His tests is what He wants in order for us to reap His eternal "Rewards"...
On this side of Heaven ~ And ~ when we go home to be with Him.
Lastly, ML helped me yesterday in getting my focus back on what I need to do!
I just adore her!
The enemy is alive & well... he continues to roam about this world seeking those whom he may devour... Why am I so surprised that H and I are going through this trial?
Because I know how easy it is to become complacent in my faith!!!
"...greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." 1 John 4:4 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
If I do not see you and Prisca on this side of Heaven... I'll see y'all when we get over yonder ways in our Dad's kingdom!!!!!

Well 'ol aunt Pep, what is your point? The vast majority of people already know this. Yea I know, there are porn sites out there and prostitutes etc etc. But, for some reason, you seem to have chosen this topic for a reason. The reason I react now is that you seem to generlize! The male friends I have, I cannot imagine they would fall into this.

I do believe that the majority of men are more concerned with attmpting to provide for their families, rather than cheap tricks. Temptations, yea! I sorr of realize that you are attmepting to refer to a small percerntage of men, but you just seem very bitter for whatever reason.

Bitter! There it is - that word again! If you don't share a point of view, you call the poster "bitter"!

Pep wasn't posting to your male friends, Tom. She was (at least partly) posting to WHs who turn up on the Surviving an Affair forum having used pornography and prostitutes before, and sometimes during, marriage. They claim that their needs were not met by their BWs and that this is why they became wayward, but they need to take a look at the sources from where they constructed their "needs": rent-a-poke tarts and airbrushed, two-dimensional fantasies who do not answer back.
