Reddit mentions of Theology of the Body for Beginners: A Basic Introduction to Pope John Paul II's Sexual Revolution, Revised Edition

I recommend "Theology of the Body for Beginners". It explains it in plain language and is a fairly quick read.

Wow, thank you for being brave enough to share something of such depth and being vulnerable to us as an audience. I have no idea what how or what a woman deals with sexual urges. I grew up in a strict home with a bro and 3 sisters. My parents, especially my mother, really never talked about sexuality, except that sex was for marriage as it was God's plan. I cannot stand (pardon my crudeness) the societal assumption that I as a man am merely a walking talking hormone driven mammal with my penis in the captain's Chair and my brain serving drinks in first class. I recently read a book called love and respect :http://www.amazon.com/Love-Respect-Desires-Desperately-Needs-ebook/dp/B004MYFQ3Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416530197&sr=8-1&keywords=love+and+respect I highly recommend it. I didn't read the women's section and when my fiancee asked why I told her that i didn't want to read it and then start comparing her to "what a woman should do". Well I did read the sexual chapter in that section. I didn't care much for the idea of a wife being there to minister to her husband's sexual "needs". Needs are food, shelter, security. hormones in contrast rise and fall like the waves in an ocean.

I like JP2's vision of married love. That sex isn't like scheduled car maintenance. sex is fruitful, faithful total, and free. This is why I hate porn. I have worked long and hard to remove it out of my life and i am almost there by the Grace only of God. I want when I marry next year not to be serviced by the wife, but to and with her renew our wedding vows. I have so much respect for you femostrants and the challenges you face. You are so right when you say purity isn't a gender exclusive club. The church, protestant and catholic alike are going to have to open their eyes to this. Its destroying lives and marriages. I am at the point now in my journey where i also talk open about it. Sometimes to women, the first time i did it i was shocked at not being rejected as a perv. I thought about it and realized. WOMEN WANT MEN TO BE STRONG, BRAVE LOYAL, HONORABLE and SELF SACRIFICING! I will up it a little...women NEED their men to be that way. Gaining control over my mind heart and body by getting rid of PMO is making me into that kind of man little by little. I have a ways to go but when I get there all the way I won't be alive anymore to need it lol. Again thanks for all you do, for being brave, honest, and public
