Sex is a big deal. And as the spirit of the age moves rapidly away from traditional sexual norms, Christians are feeling the pressure to abandon their ancient beliefs to conform to society's evolving views on sexuality and gender. Responding to the pressure with conviction and clarity, this book spells out the Bible's teaching on sex, arguing that the ultimate goal of all human sexuality is the glory of God. After outlining key biblical standards and explaining the true purposes for sex (procreation, pleasure, love, etc.), the latter portion of the book explores controversial issues such as homosexuality, queer theory, and polygamy. Firmly rooted in the pages of Scripture, this book sets forth a compelling vision of human sexuality that is both soul-satisfying and God-glorifying.

In this brief book, Dr. Eaton explains Why it's happening How to prevent it What to do about it, if you're already there No psychological mumbo jumbo, because lack of sexual desire or psychology has nothing to do with it.

In the matching of men and women in couples possibly leading to marriage, even though marriage is the leading cause of divorce and the most popular outcry amidst the divorce controversy with voices ringing in the halls of justice and accusations of infidelity and private investigators documenting the marital affairs of cheaters committing acts of adultery, etc, etc, etc... Women are often left wondering why men cheat? The truth of the matter is that it is not as rudimentary as being a men versus women issue at all. Even though the women get much less press than the men, the unfaithful wife is actually much more popular, but is much more stealthy in her approach to conducting her extramarital affairs. Dr. Pete Eaton reveals all in his book, Sex Wise, and tells the truth about relationship problems - especially when related to areas of sexual conduct - unraveling the secret to why men cheat and (even more) why women cheat, and it's not what you might expect, and it has nothing to do with lack of love! Dr. Eaton clearly explains that it is not the differences between men and women that are the reasons for divorce, rather it is due to a difference in the amount of innate sexual hunger which has nothing to do with men vs women, because both men and women are either hungry for sex, or not, and each have all different degrees of that hunger. Marriage problems are more due to compatibility issues due to mismatched sexual hunger. The insatiable desires of women and men are better of appropriately matched to other mates with the same sexual desires. The problem is with our mating methods when selecting a potential mate our species tends to put on its best face to impress and seduce potential mates to seal the deal. This leads to misrepresentation, i.e. women and men misrepresenting themselves as being sexually proficient with high levels of sexual desire, enough to satisfy any mate. You may have noticed that many of these sexually desirous individuals revert to their standard level of sexual desire. Also, presented are solutions for couples experiencing relationship problems due to differences in sexual hunger, breaking through the age old idea of infidelity and presenting ideas and examples of how to have and maintain a happy marriage, even if you are unequally matched in terms of sexual desire. Get prepared to enjoy the full satisfaction from your personal level of sexual desire, enjoy all the sexual activity to match the libido that you were born with, even if you are in a mismatched relationship. This could be the only real answer to how to save your marriage, even if you share sexual hungers on opposite ends of the spectrum."

A raw, funny, and fiercely honest account of becoming a mother before feeling like a grown up. When Meaghan O'Connell got accidentally pregnant in her twenties and decided to keep the baby, she realized that the book she needed -- a brutally honest, agenda-free reckoning with the emotional and existential impact of motherhood -- didn't exist. So she decided to write it herself. And Now We Have Everything is O'Connell's exploration of the cataclysmic, impossible-to-prepare-for experience of becoming a mother. With her dark humor and hair-trigger B.S. detector, O'Connell addresses the pervasive imposter syndrome that comes with unplanned pregnancy, the fantasies of a "natural" birth experience that erode maternal self-esteem, post-partum body and sex issues, and the fascinating strangeness of stepping into a new, not-yet-comfortable identity. Channeling fears and anxieties that are still taboo and often unspoken, And Now We Have Everything is an unflinchingly frank, funny, and visceral motherhood story for our times, about having a baby and staying, for better or worse, exactly yourself. Smart, funny, and true in all the best ways, this book made me ache with recognition." -- Cheryl Strayed
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Our culture is gluttonous for pleasure, and sexually ravenous. But very few of us seem to be able to fully experience the sensations or satisfaction we seek. Why is this the case. #2 Our senses have become overwhelmed by the abundance of easy-to-access, seemingly endless supply of quick-fix pleasures. But are we actually that turned on. The answer is no, and we are constantly being bombarded with advertisements for antidepressant and antianxiety medications to help us feel better. #3 The most basic enjoyments of life seem to be out of reach for millions of people. It is as if one of our most natural and necessary drives has become stunted. #4 Some of us have inherited a vulnerability to anhedonia, which can manifest as anxiety. In 1979, I experienced my first panic attack, which was the result of a perfect storm of a medical issue that imbalanced my hormones, a time of developmental stress, and a huge side order of trauma and loss.
