One of the questions in the FWO book was sitting alone in a train station and a woman with a great body walks in and stands in a near by line. What is your reaction to the woman? Responses were 4% openly stare with drool forming on the lower lip, almost 75% said they were drawn to look at her and they sneak peeks or glance at her from the corner of their eye, 18% said that it was impossible for them not to be aware that she is there but they try to stop themselves from looking, and 2% said that nothing happens, it doesn't affect them. If you were a man and read that, what are those 2% men saying exactly? What does it mean that nothing happens and it doesn't affect them. Curious. Thanks |

| Melissa - don't let Billybob fool you. It is my experience that there are more men out there than you think that fall into the 2% category. The secret is a fulfilling marriage I believe. I have been happily married to my wife for 26 years and never in that time have I been tempted to lust after another woman. She is my best friend, closest confidant, only lover and awesome companion. I know other men that have tried God's way and have the same results. I believe the 2% of men that say that they are not affected by the sight of another woman are so enthralled with the gift that God gave them they haven't the time for anything else. Human beings can all tell the differences amoungst ourselves - men as well as women but I don't believe there is any excuse for a married man to be looking at or wanting to look at another woman to appreciate any part of her - it shows a lack somewhere in there life. So to answer your question - if I was asked that question and asked what I meant by it - I would say exactly what it says "nothing happens, it doesn't affect me" I'm not interested in the slightest bit in what some strange flesh has to offer - I have all the flesh I need in the woman God blessed me with. Yes we do exist. Go talk to your husband and together be what God intended.

| Wow Mythoughts, this is very refreshing to hear. I have been doing my own rearch on trying to understand men and how it is possiable for them not to have these issues. Is there any advise you can give these other men on how to control there thought life, or advise for their wives to help. |

| For the men who are the two percent.. your lucky, and I mean blessed. To NEVER have an image or thought ASSAULT you EVER? yeah I wish God gave me that gift, but He has not and it is my duty to Him to deal with those images and thoughts. This is what it comes down to, the majority of men can't help the fact that they have this visual "photo graphic memory". As for hrtbrkn... advise to control the thought life is in the Word of God, it needs to be followed to a discipline and it takes a commitment to do so, and once it becomes a discipline then it becomes as easy as breathing, really! The desire to please God and the Holy Spirit is the only thing that can keep a man powerful enough to say "I'd rather not... lets look this way.. lets walk over here.. (or) NO FLIPPIN WAY!" to his desires. I have found as a married man that is satisfied in marriage still being enticed, but dont find myself lingering on anything I have seen, I dont desire to look a second time, and if its a really bad attack I call out to the Holy Spirit and think of my own wife in that way and it goes away instantly!!, in a nutshell.. you cant control what runs across your eyes as a man, but the word says "Draw close to Jesus, resist the devil (or your flesh), and satan will flee (or your flesh will put down). As the book states, wives really do a great service to their husbands when they recognize his desire to honor God and his wife, that translates to respect and you wouldnt believe how much more he will sacrifice to stay strong |
