Description

In today’s world, men face a profound lack of sexual formation, leaving them feeling ashamed, confused, and broken in their understanding of sexuality. In The Sex Talk You Never Got, therapist Sam Jolman guides men in reconnecting their God-given sexuality with innocence, awe, and joy, encouraging them to celebrate the gift of sexual desire rather than struggling against it.

Despite living in a sex-saturated culture, many men find that discussions about sexuality are severely lacking. Often, the conversations young men have with their parents are limited to basic anatomy lessons or purity lectures, if they occur at all. Cultural messages intertwine shame and permissiveness, leading to confusion and struggles with their own sexuality and masculinity.

However, it doesn’t have to be this way. God created men to experience wonder and awe, and sexual desire should be understood within that design. Sam Jolman, a professional therapist specializing in men’s issues and sexual trauma recovery, provides a path for men to navigate their sexual struggles. This important and insightful book will help readers:

• Understand the crucial connection between sexual desire and their identity as worshipers
• Rediscover a vibrant sexuality that aligns with God’s design
• Recognize how purity culture has created unnecessary conflict with their sexuality
• View sexual purity not as an end goal but as preparation for a life filled with beauty, awe, and worship
• Replace shame and confusion with a sexuality characterized by innocence and wonder

In the Bible, Jesus extended kindness to those suffering from sexual harm and brokenness, and He continues to offer that same compassion today. Rather than encouraging men to repent for their sexual desires, He invites them to reconnect their sexuality with innocence and awe, unlocking the potential for a joyful and purpose-filled life centered on worship and God’s intentions.
