What “Euphoria Highs” Are Really Doing to You

Is Masturbation a Sin?
“Is masturbation a sin?”
I intentionally did not address this question when I wrote my book for men on sexual purity.

Strength Is Found in Numbers: Pastor Noah’s Freedom Story (Part 3 of 3)

My wife and I were both virgins when we got married, and I was ready for this payoff.
