Imagine if there was a metaphorical couple... who somehow ended up married to one another... even though they were from completely different cultures... and spoke completely different languages.
No doubt this couple would have many challenges... because the way they look at things... think about things... and talk about things... would be radically different.
In a very real way... this is what it's like for many... if not most couples... when it comes to the subject of sex... because it's absolutely amazing how radically different men and women can be in the ways they think... feel... and talk about sex.
It's this disparity that causes significant hurt... confusion... anger... misunderstanding... and disorientation for many couples.
In this important series Tony draws upon...
(1) His personal experience as a man for the past 60 years.
(2) His experience working with innumerable men... as a pastor... a professional counselor... and the Director of The Power of Purity.
(3) And the wisdom of God's holy and immutable word...
... to help women gain strategic insights and understanding when it comes to men and sex.
The principles Tony shares through this series might be surprising to some... if not shocking... but they will give women unusual... if not unexpected... insights into the world of men and sex.

When a man decides to become a man of sexual purity...
When a man decides to begin honoring God and his wife with the expression of his sexual gift...
When a man embraces a true understanding of "Wife Size Sex"...
And determines to only experience his orgasm with his wife...
He will inevitably enter a very difficult period of time that lies between the old person he used to be... and the new person he's trying to become.
This period of time is often defined by "WHITE KNUCKLES"... as he tries so hard to resist his old habits and patterns that often included porn and masturbation... and hold on to the new commitment of sexual purity that he has made to himself... to God... and to his wife.
Virtually every person who has ever sought to overcome an addiction... and every person who has entered a process of recovery...can relate to the concept of "WHITE KNUCKLES"... as they fight to metamorphose from the own cycle that was so unhealthy... to the new cycle that's healthier.
"WHITE KNUCKLES" speaks of our desperate attempt to resist the old "me" as I seek to be the new "me".
In this session Tony reveals why "WHITE KNUCKLES" typically will fail us... and shares what we can do... to make it through... to true and lasting change... when we feel like we're barely holding on!

As we all know... there is typically a higher sexed partner and a lower sexed partner in every marriage.
This reality often leads to hurt... confusion... misunderstanding... and resentment within the context of the marriage.
THIS EPISODE IS INTENDED PRIMARILY FOR THE LOWER SEXED PARTNER IN THE MARRIAGE.
In this episode Tony explores several nuances of the tension that's created when partners have differing sexual appetites... including...
* How the lower sexed partner automatically... by default... assumes control of the sexual frequency of the relationship... whether they want to or not.
* How the lower sexed partner has the position of the "higher ground" when it comes to sex in the relationship.
* How the lower sexed partner... in a sense... has more work to do in order to create sexual equilibrium in the relationship.
* Why the lower sexed partner is a "really big person" if they're willing to move toward their partner sexually.
Although these challenges can be significant... they are not insurmountable... and with God's help it's possible for a couple to "close the gap" that's existed between them sexually... as they become healthier than they've ever been before.
Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Ephesians 5:21

Nate Larkin's wife caught him... all alone... in his office... watching porn in the middle of the night.
They had a long talk that night... and Nate's wife forgave him.
But then... several days later... she found a condom on the bathroom floor of their home that Nate couldn't quite explain.
That's when Nate's wife sat him on the edge of their bed... and said the words that would change his life.
I still love you... but I don't like you.
I don't trust you.
I don't respect you... and I don't think you can ever change.
Nate Larkin had gone to seminary... studied for the ministry... pastored a church... and struggled deeply for many years with his secret sex addiction.
When his wife spoke those fateful words to him... he knew he had to change because he was about to loose everything that meant the most to him in life.
It was only then Nate found his way to a secular recovery group... and slowly began to learn the ideas and concepts that would genuinely change his heart... his life... his marriage... and even the expression of his sexual gift.
In these 3 episodes (102-104) Nate shares the story of his amazing journey from sexual bondage and addiction to sexual healing and freedom.
It's an amazing story... and you will be blessed!
Nate Larkin is an author, speaker, and founder of The Samson Society - a ministry that facilitates authentic mens groups around the country toward the purpose of sexual healing and freedom.
