We live in an astounding era of sexual challenge. For men living in the Kingdom of God, bold approaches are necessary to deal with the intense level of sexual temptation. Serious times demand serious measures. Much of what I propose here is not conventional. Without real answers and workable solutions, men will continue to feel hopeless and spiral downward into sexual confusion and moral failure. The deterioration will go unabated. I deal with a wide range of sexual challenges in my counseling practice, and most of the men I counsel have expressed heartache with past and present sexual issues. Almost without exception, they are hungering and crying out for real solutions to their sexual issues—we need a bold approach that is actually effective. Much of this material has had astonishing results—a visible peace among men. I find that most men have received little to no training in being a man, let alone a wonderful lover to a spouse. Most men go into a relationship misguided, inadequate and wholly lacking to be the great lover they are expected to be. I empathize with them because I, too, found myself woefully lacking in being the kind of man I needed to be in my marriage, especially as a male lover. And through the years, with God’s help, I have come to understand how to love. This kind of love is a bold love in the face of all deception. We shouldn’t be ashamed to talk about something God was not ashamed to create. We have danced around this issue long enough. The discussion must be thorough, complete and bold or we will miss the opportunity to help every man (boy, teenage, young adult, middle age, and seniors) in the Kingdom of God achieve a wonderful and joyous sexual integrity. I unabashedly present this material with the hope that it will be of immense value to you in becoming the lover God intended you to be, for your delight and His glory. F. Alan Pickering
