Moment of vulnerability here. As I said in this post, I have a health condition that’s treatable with breast milk. Over the past few years, I’ve often wrestled with and wavered between seeking solutions involving breast milk, without sinning, as in Ancient China, and seeking other expressed solutions involving milk here in the US. However,…
If you struggle with intrusive mental images of ANRs, then “think often that Christ suffered agony for your purity. Fight image with image. Christ crying in agony.” Titus 2:14: Christ gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for…

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. Romans 13:14 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/rom.13.14.ESV
It’s the intimacy that scares people away from ANRs. Extreme intimacy is a terrifying novelty to citizens of a fallen world. Being deeply intimate and vulnerable with another human being on such a level is too much, and touches a nerve. It’s taboo. But I’ll tell you who should be afraid of intimacy with you.…

No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. — 1 Corinthians 9:27 NIV Study Bible notes: I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave. Here Paul uses the figure…
1 Corinthians 6:12-20 New International Version Sexual Immorality 12 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but I will not be mastered by anything. 13 You say, “Food for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will destroy them both.” The body, however, is not meant…
I once counseled a man who Had been involved in a series of sex crimes. He had been caught, arrested, and indicted by the time his lawyer referred him to me. A believer in his late fifties, he was a widower with several children who lived out of state. At the time the sex crimes…

“It is my firm conviction that when dating, Christians should have no visual privacy, auditory privacy is understandable [and should be pursued].” — When to bring it up to a potential mate, Christ-centered ANR I’ve wrestled with this question for years. Exactly where do you place the boundary with regards to wanting an ANR when…
18 Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth, … 20 Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with a forbidden woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress? 21 For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the Lord, and he ponders all his paths. 22 The iniquities of the wicked ensnare him, and he is held fast in the cords of his sin. 23 He dies for…
Email I recently received: “I have met two Christian men on ANR dating sites and all of them are like myself, in that they were sexually active before they gave their life to Christ. And each of them has the same opinion on nursing vs sex. Each of them believed that nursing can be a permissible act…

Biblically, there are only two situations in which it’s okay for an adult to have their lips on a woman’s breasts: if they are a man and woman married to each other, or for health reasons, if they are in China or similar nation where it’s socially acceptable to breastfeed adults strictly for medical benefits.…
Keep a close watch on yourself and on the doctrine. Persist in this. — 1 Timothy 4:16 How much peace I feel directly correlates with how much I’m in God’s will. — Two godly women I know I thank God that even in discipline, He somehow shows He’s near. No, I haven’t fornicated or entered…

“Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.” Revelation 22:15
Medical wet nursing is likely to lead to sin. Unless you live in a part of China where such a practice is accepted and institutionalized, you’d probably be engaged in sexual sin. This is especially true for men, because I know we’re more prone to temptation and using the slightest excuse to justify sexual gratification.…

Be extremely careful. It’s too easy to be blindsided by, and end up rationalizing our sin. Perhaps you have a health condition treatable with breast milk, and you’re considering finding a wet nurse, or nursing a sick man. To do this without sinning, you need to be in a place where it’s so culturally accepted…
“Historically, women have breastfed adults who were sickly to help build their immune systems. The practice has continued more recently than you might realize in countries such as China.” To a few guys out there, refrain from jumping the gun. Your headache is not an occasion to seek a wet nurse. There’s no medical evidence…

If you fall into sexual sin, devote at least one day to fast and pray. It’ll reorient your walk. And God will restore you. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. — 1 John 1:9 Repentance

Months ago, I posted a piece on how women have historically breastfed sick adults to boost their immune systems. Unmarried readers, especially men, do not take this as a license to indulge in an ANR. The context is vastly different. God considers context and motive. A Chinese woman breastfeeding a deathly sick adult in public…
