Ep12 | Do Men Actually "NEED" Sex? | Matthew Shallenberger

Everyone says Men NEED Sex... But What if that's Been a Lie All Along?


Join Sarah McDugal for this brutally honest conversation with Matthew Shallenberger about sex, needs, and how society (and church) have fed us a pack of lies. 

We'll be answering questions such as:
  • does the Bible support this idea that sex is a fundamental human need? If so, is it a male need, and why? 
  • how does the "sex as a need" philosophy impact a person's right to get sexual gratification? 
  • are sex and intimacy interchangeable? why or why not?
  • how can we reconcile our beliefs about sex as a *need* with what the bible teaches about love and the fruit of the spirit?
  • what can you do if you realize this dynamic is affecting your marriage?
  • and SO MUCH MORE!
