Courage to Flee, Living a Moral Life in an Immoral World, brings a message that is so critical to the church in these days: moral purity is the answer to a world run amuck in perversion and selfishness. Morality’s purpose is not to diminish our experiences in life—quite the opposite is true! Morality is God’s way to enhance the joy and pleasure of God’s design, and to prevent our souls from shriveling up and becoming poisoned through immorality.

From The Slippery Slope of Compromise to The Goal of Freedom, each chapter biblically examines the common experiences of all men, and not only delivers clarity--but real hope for change and freedom. Dr. Klick’s book is a must-read for parents, pastors, youth workers and, in fact, for all men! As much as this book will open the eyes of any man who reads it, Courage to Flee, may very well startle women into reality! One of the issues affecting men is the total lack of understanding so many women exhibit as they dress provocatively.

Of special interest to us is the chapter, Parents: Start Early, Interfere Often. One part of the solution to our pandemic of immorality is openness and clarity with our children, teens, and young adults. Topics relating to sexuality—not just in the negative connotation of immorality—but also within God’s beautiful design for sex within marriage, must be brought into the light and discussed openly. The church has not done well here.

We are excited about this book! The material within it resonates with what we teach on our site, The Intimate Couple. Breaking free from pornography, guarding against the immorality all around us and establishing authentic, God-designed intimacy are among the ways and means toward moral freedom!

You may remember last month we posted the first half of an article posted by CNN: taken from Health.com. It was an article that we thought was too good to miss so, again this month, we are passing it on to our readers!

We gave the first 15 suggestions last month (check out our May 2010, Volume 2 E-Zine). Here are the second set of 15 suggestions.

• Day 16: Give your bedroom a makeover
  It’s hard to be passionate when you’re exploring the Web—not your partner’s body. So clear out the computers, TVs, and other distractions, and focus on what matters.
• Day 17: Get happy
  Depression can zap energy, leaving you with little desire to delve into your sex life. If the blues have caused you to dodge intimacy, consider talking to your pastor or physician to get help to work through the depression.
• Day 18: Check your medicine cabinet
  It’s pretty well-known that antidepressants can interfere with your sexual pleasure, but some birth control medication and drugs for diabetes patients may also lesson sexual desire in the bedroom.
• Day 19: Get the magic touch
  A slow, erotic massage can teach couples about the art of give and take.
• Day 20: Open up to your doc
  Everyone’s embarrassed to talk about s-e-x with her doctor, but if you’ve got a nagging question, it must be done. Isn’t one uncomfortable moment worth the breakthrough in your sex life?
• Day 21: Find out what turns you on
  If you have trouble with orgasms, it’s important to discover what gets you hot and bothered. Sex isn’t the same for everyone, and it might take something extra—like a vibrator—to turn you on. [Refer to our article on Sexual Aids for suggestions.]
• Day 22: Shake up date night
  Stuck in a rut? If the routine’s getting to you, try a new adventure to turn the heat up a notch.
• Day 23: Forget about your age
  If you think a lagging sex drive is just part of getting older, think again. A drop in libido at any age merits a trip to the doctor.
• Day 24: Get enough shut-eye
  It seems contradictory, but it’s true: In order to have satisfying sex, you need to get your z’s. If you’re not rested, your energy level will be nil.
• Day 25: Hit the gym
  Exercise pumps up your dopamine levels, which in turn elevates your libido—enough said!
• Day 26: Go shopping
  Drop some dollar bills on risqué items: Think lingerie or a vibrator. The novelty of such toys may turn your partner on in a big way.
• Day 27: Find a solution
  If sex is painful as you age, consider over-the-counter lubricants.
• Day 28: Take it slow
  Unless you’re enjoying a quickie, there’s no reason to rush through sex. Take time to enjoy yourself—and your partner—along the way.
• Day 29: Wear red
  In a study, men found women wearing red more attractive than their counterparts in less lively colors. So don’t be scared to steal the thunder in your crimson dress; your partner will be glad you did!
• Day 30: Think mornings
  Consider morning sex. You’ll likely have more energy, and you won’t have to worry about winding down afterward.
