I have sent emails to Netflix to get a list of the movies you have viewed Timmy. I should have the list by the end of the week.

It is easy for females to completely misunderstand male sexuality, a wise father is very important in this area. It is a powerful thing, and if it can be moderated by education and appropriate exposure, that is a very good thing.

PO,
Maybe that is a bit like being horrified that a married lady has a male doctor???

This instruction on this subject is sorely needed!! Young boys need instruction in how to deal with their sexually very early on. I believe much of the problem with porn, is simply guys never understanding how to deal with their sexuality, and then it can become a horrible cycle of guilt.

I'm just thinking of Catherine Zeta Jones, who is mainly, from the movies I am aware of, passionately involved with the lead man. AND if I am passionately kissing Antonio Banderas, well... will I stop at the kiss? Not if he didn't want to! LOL!

Antonio Banderas......well - 'nuff said.

That is people in general but there are exceptions. Paul Newman comes to mind, Alan Alda has been married for over 50 years as has James Garner and Kirk Douglas. Charlton Heston was married for over 60 years.

I wouldn't worry about it though my wife is uncomfortable with it. I think the closest that she came to that in a play was a kiss on the forehead. I seriously wouldn't have a problem with her doing a kissing scene in a play.

Yeah. I don't believe them, either! :toofunny

It might be like the preacher that said a man ought to be so full of The Holy Ghost that he ought to be able to look at a naked woman without lusting at her,well he got caught in adultery.

Just because someone is full of the HG, doesn't mean they can't feel.

If someone is full of The Holy Ghost it would seem that emotionally they might be more sensitive in all of their emotions perhaps ?

EXCELLENT point!

The "spritual high" more than likely releases endorphines too.

So someone filled with the HG might be MORE likely to commit adultery????? Not sure what you are saying here.

Imagine what would be on the screen if someone did a true-to-life film about the entire Bible...

Making love is part of life. No matter how we try to insulate ourselves and our children from it, we'll see it on occasion. As long as we keep ourselves and our children seeing this act in a biblical context, I believe things will be okay. However, I hope that our children get their image and concept of making love from parents and not Hollywood.

Key concept is education and balance.
