masturbation : Brett Fish

Taboo Topic: Pornography/Masturbation – and that video you play over and over in your head…

i don't, as a rule, share anonymous posts... however, this IS my blog and so i make up the rules and figured this one deserved an exception. It is a post from a friend of mine who scribed a very different angled approach to the whole masturbation/pornography struggle that so many of us have or had and i thought it might be helpful, or at the very least, interesting: Three Quick Awkward Memories: 1. In [...]

Taboo Topics: Pornography/Masturbation – meet Catherine Rogers

i want to take a moment to honor Catherine on this and am so super amped that she shared this story and know it has taken A LOT for her to do so - but both pornography and especially masturbation have largely been seen as a guy issue for so long and it was at a summer camp a bunch of years ago that i really got to see the depth of the problem and [...]

Taboo Topics: Pornography/Masturbation – meet Steve Heineman

Firstly, I want to thank Brett for giving me a podium and his trust. Secondly, I want to thank you for your courage to read anything about the struggles people face with porn and masturbation. This is not a really short story, but perhaps it is a familiar one. I pray that it is as helpful to you to read it as it was for me to write it. I was introduced to masturbation before [...]

Taboo Topics: Pornography/Masturbation – meet me

this may be one of the tabooist topics [especially in the church, not a lot of sermons preached on this in my experience] and it's time to bring it into the light. i have a story to share and i am hoping that this will help people towards a journey of healing, restoration, self-forgiveness, hope and sexual purity. i do wish my story went something like this - i used to struggle with pornography and [...]
