Most men are fighting a losing battle. Having been convinced it’s natural and normal, they’re hardly aware they’re fighting at all.

Today, I’ll explore and resolve this very touchy, taboo subject, something that has come to be one of men’s most pertinent problems: temptation, lust . . . these unholy urges that ultimately hold us back from being all we can be.

And yes, you cannot be all you could be, brother, if you are not the master of your decisions. There’s no way around it.

I’ve paywalled this post because my message is aimed directly at men. The information is not crude, but it is something that ought to be discussed “behind closed doors.”
