• At the roughly 6 minute mark forward: Agreed, within pornography, sexual success, is a lie.
• In my opinion, the man (person) that visits a prostitute is also not a sexual success.
• 1 Corinthians 6:15-16: King James Version (KJV) 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh
• Beware of spiritual, sexual bonding, to the wrong type of partner, and/or too many partners.
• @ roughly the 7 minute mark, Wilson (paraphrased) seems to make a connection between the, as he notes, decline of testosterone and the rise of the acceptance of pornography.
• By God's grace, I am not addicted to pornography.
• By God's grace, I am not declining in a manly sense.
• @ roughly the 8: 40 mark forward, the (paraphrased) responsible men, in my view, in a Christian sense, require willing relatable female partners to work with.
• NOT, as many assume in the Church, simply and always based on similar age and level of looks.
• Especially, as the intellectual, non-conformist types, like myself, often resent being boxed in with such limited philosophical depth and limited use of reason.
• Rather a legitimate, biblical, relationship leading to marriage, is based on significant, but not necessarily near maximal, mutual, spiritual, intellectual and romantic attraction.
• But, it is a destructive attractiveness...
