Prescription drugs for male enhancement are at an all time high. No one knows how much money is spent on drugs such as Viagra, Levitra, Cialis, etc. Advertisers are spending millions of dollars advertising these drugs, and advertisers don’t spend that kind of money, unless there are consumers.
Why is there such a need for male enhancement drugs? I wonder what men did 100 years ago to arouse the senses? I can clearly understand a physical ailment that would cause such a need for drugs like this, but it seems that consumers for these drugs are men who are getting younger and younger. Is it just the fact that we are consumers of prescription drugs? We’re co dependent on a little white, blue, or pink pill. We need a drug to get us up in the morning, a drug to calm our nerves, a drug to get our hormones running, and a drug to make us go to sleep, and all the while the doctors and pharmaceuticals are greatly blessed by our neediness. No, we’re not just a nation that is dependent on prescription drugs. There is something more dreadfully wrong.
We live in a society that obsesses on sex, we are a sexually oriented society. Yet, I keep seeing these ads advertising drugs because men just can’t seem to get excited. What’s WRONG? It doesn’t make sense. A sexually oriented society that constantly obsesses on sex does not produce men who can no longer get excited when it comes to sex. Or does it?
Maybe there’s a deeper, spiritual, psychological problem going on inside the male mind. One that is so diabolical, a ruthless killer of sexuality, a virus so cleverly disguised that once you are made aware of its presence, it’s much too late. Let’s give this diabolical virus a name, we’ll call it desensitized hormones. How do hormones become desensitized? Let’s consider the male mind. A man’s most powerful sex organ is his mind. This is why the scriptures say who ever looks at a woman with lust has already committed the act of adultery in his mind. Another way of putting it is to say the mind initiates our reality. God only knows how much a man’s mind has become desensitized due to the lack of control of the thought processes. Add to this method of thinking an explicit, sexualized culture that constantly obsesses on sex, and you end up with a head that has been desensitized. Once the mind has been desensitized, hormones are sure to follow pursuit.
What is the end of this diabolical attack on intimacy and real love? Imagine a culture where men and women are no longer aroused by the thought of making love. Imagine a culture where artificial insemination is the way to pregnancy by choice. Impossible you say!
Many years ago a wise man by the name of Solomon wrote these words, "Let your fountain be blessed, and enjoy the girl you married when you were young, a loving doe and a graceful deer. Always let her breasts satisfy you. Always be intoxicated with her love" (Proverbs 5:18-19). Why do fools reject simplicity? Is there any way to protect our society from this diabolical virus called desensitized hormones?
NO, but you can save your own marriage. You can have what few seem to experience anymore. What our society is destroying, you can still have. BE INTOXICATED with each other’s LOVE!
