Imagine we live in a time and place where being affectionate is seen as weak, infantile and taboo. “Real men and women past the age of 5 don’t cuddle” and “skin-to-skin contact is strictly reserved for mother and child” are our national ethoses. But using biblical, medical and anecdotal evidence, I respectfully challenge and oppose…
Interdependence is the state of being dependent upon someone else. An interdependent relationship one in which two or more people rely on each other to help fulfill needs, whether they be physical, emotional, or spiritual. While the Bible doesn’t use the term interdependence, it does have a lot to say on the concept. From the very…
Yes, ANRs are slightly more prevalent in certain countries, but I believe time plays a much greater role than place. Moving to Asia or elsewhere strictly to pursue an ANR may not be worth the effort. Despite clear evidence of marginally increased ANR rates in some countries, a single person in Ancient Rome would have…
There will always be haters, but we’ll only continue to make progress. The fact that they’re unmarried is to be frowned upon biblically, but I applaud Jennifer Mulford’s courage. Jennifer MulfordThe taboo closet

I occasionally get concerned about the possibility of a future wife’s increased size. If she isn’t too large to begin with, the increased cup size would be obvious. Married couples’ intimate lives is none of my business and I always try to focus on women’s eyes, not their breasts, but when living with the couple…
I came across an article on some site that revealed that about 1 in 3 American men surveyed have fantasized about breast milk at least once. I’m pretty sure the ratio for women is at least the same because women are MUCH less comfortable expressing or exploring their sexuality, as communicated in the email from…
We are convinced that Satan has been behind the taboo of ANR. If more marriages practiced ANR, I think there would be a lot less divorce. –Pastor E His statement is so good, so spot on, that I had to post it twice. People who have fallen for Satan’s spell of seeing ANR as taboo…
“The world is filled with cheap imitations of manhood because Satan doesn’t want us to experience the real thing. The average dude may be afraid to sing in public, but the man who has encountered God himself cannot help but sing.” –Desiring God Full article See also: Let her nipples satiate you always: be secure,…
While watching the Forensic Files recently, I was saddened to see an episode in which an apartment complex handyman – who grew up a pastor’s son – purposely intruded into a female college student’s apartment while she took a shower. As the semester went on, he intruded again and murdered her. While I realize he’s certainly not excused…
Knowing the right thing to do and not doing it is like grabbing a sharp object and cutting yourself. -unnamed loved one That can be backed up biblically: “whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin” (James 4:17). The loved one’s quote can be stated as:…
