I disagree that everything is hidden...everything is out in the open. There's no shame. People are encouraged to do it. (14:52) Carl - When I was younger and in the world, I was looking for love in all the wrong places. Thinking a man would make me whole and happy. Ended up getting date raped. I was so lost in my 20's. I can appreciate people who have fallen and the grace the of God. (27:00) Break 1  Jill - Is an impure thought ever a mortal sin? (30:06) Steve - Timmerie had someone on that said men think about sex every 6 to 10 seconds. I've struggled for many years. Age 60 now and I've never held a girls hand or kissed her, but I struggle with masturbation. Mike – How do you stop after you get addicted?
