The Sex Talk You Never Got: Reclaiming the Heart of Masculine Sexuality by Sam Jolman Book Review



 

 

The Sex Talk You Never Got, Sam Jolman has written a book to try and help men to embrace their sexuality and rediscovering their heart. The book shared stories on how parents taught their children about sex and how some didn’t. One study in 2017 revealed that 70% of 18 to 25 years old wish their parents would have gone over sex and romance more. He explained how as man our sexuality is in trouble and it’s being neglected. Many people feel they must hide their sexuality and that it is a burden. They feel shamed for being sexuality. Evil has warped our perception and has twisted God’s desire for human sexuality.   

 



 

He takes the approach that our sexuality is a gift that is meant to be blessed. God stated that it was good on day six but sin eventually entered the world. In the book, he explored what is sex and how it is intended to be playful. He compares it to the stage and how it follows a script. He clarified that our bodies go through different arousal cycles and it like a story following the plot and climax. He looked at scriptures and how a king spotted Isaac and Rebekah playing together. He goes into the Song of Songs and how these poems are testimony of love. He helped readers to see how sex is meant to be pleasurable and not just for bringing in new life into this world. He shared how they suffered a few miscarriages and when they had a focus to get pregnant it was robbing them of pleasure. The playtime was lacking. He touched on being humble and serving one another in the bedroom. And learning how to be better lovers. 




 

 

I would recommend this awesome book discussing our sexuality to all men who are confused and they feel ashamed for having sexual thoughts and desires. Sex was meant to be pleasing and bring us closer to our lovers. This book has the power to help readers to recheck ourselves and find out what the true message of sex we should be receiving. I appreciated how he touched on the topic of shame and tried to help men realize the truth about sexuality. I think this book is a good lesson in reminding parents on how to discuss sex and sexuality. Maybe even teach them a new approach.
