  8. Male Issue • Erectile dysfunction (25% or more of sexual encounters). • 5-10% seek help.

  13. Reassessment 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 3The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

  14. Assumptions • All sexual disinterest is bad. • Be careful of extremes! • Expectation of no sex. vs. • Expectation of sex.

  15. “Most people don’t wear out, they rust out.”
