No, hardwiring comes with the motherboard, directly by our Creator.

Software is installed by environment.

I think this subject is difficult because some can't conceive that their husband is like "other men." That doesn't mean he's a bad man that lacks character. I'm talking about the challenges his "hardwiring" presents him. If anything, a woman's gracious response would be one of love and support, and as many of you have already said, an awareness to keep trash out of the home.

Taking us back to the thread topic, sex scenes. How acceptable are they? Can we even do anything about them? How do we "flee fornication" in this area? A man attaches himself to images in ways a woman attaches herself with emotion. It can be devastating if we ignore it.

I agree. Promiscuous women that I have known are that way because of the attention they receive. They could care less about the act itself, it's the fact that they're "wanted" or "desired". That is what drives them.

The percentage for a man responding in that way may be higher, but that doesn't leave some of the percentage out for a woman, IMO.

This is a very good answer to question. We can not change what has been in place by our creator.

I am not saying there is no visual response from women at all-- but the visual response from a man is by nature altogether different.

Well, I guess. We seem to understand this from books and studies we have read. It's just that things seem to change and views are different. It's hard to, totally, believe all of it.

I see men, in the Bible, as "provider/protector" and the women as submissive to him. They have their roles, but it doesn't make me always believe they think differently. I mean Joan of Arc (not a Bible character) was a warrior and patriot as much as King David. I couldn't have been wired that way, but she was. I may be coming from too simplistic thinking, but that is how I view it.

Our actions and thoughts can be interchangeable. I don't think we can say they never are.

Every Woman's Battle addresses this topic heavily. Especially women without father figures. It's emotional promiscuity -- they throw in the sex to keep the feeling of acceptance and love there for them.

Well I think that is what Renda was saying, was wake up! No matter how spiritual or awesome your husband is, he is still a man- HELLO! So make yourself presentable and do not give him a reason to look else where!

Thank you, Elizabeth.

That's the point I was attempting to make.

Yes! The ones that I have known, I think get a sick kind of control out of it too-

Absolutely. Women do have some 'power' in this area, and some of them abuse that.
