Back to EpisodesRevisiting: "Is it okay to fantasize about your spouse"
Description
In a replay of a popular episode, Josh and James addresses a listener's question about fantasizing about one's spouse during masturbation. While scripture does not provide a clear directive on masturbation, it suggests that acts disconnected from the procreative and unitive purposes of sex does not align with God's design. From a practical standpoint, he acknowledges that fantasizing about one's spouse is a step towards sexual integrity but doesn't fully capture the essence of marital intimacy. Josh encourages listeners to pursue a journey of mastering their desires and aligning them with self-giving love. The episode also challenges the cultural belief that sex is a need, suggesting that while relationships and connection are vital, sex is not a necessity for being whole.
