Do you remember “the talk?” Maybe you never had one… or wish
yours had gone differently.


This week, we’re pleased to talk to friend, therapist, writer,
and NFTC alumni Sam Jolman, MA, LPC, about his new book,
“The Sex Talk You Never Got,” which was just released this week.


In our sex-saturated world, it might seem surprising that men
need more talk about sex. But the reality is that sexuality is
one of the most neglected aspects of men's lives. From the
woefully inadequate sex talks many young men receive from parents
(little more than an anatomy lesson or a purity lecture, if
anything at all) to cultural messages that unhelpfully weave both
shame and permissiveness into men's understanding of their own
sexuality and masculinity, too many boys and men experience
sexual desire as an area of struggle, confusion, and brokenness.


In this new book, Sam helps men reconnect their God-given
sexuality with innocence, awe, and joy, and shows readers how to
celebrate--instead of struggle against--the gift of sexual
desire.


“The Sex Talk You Never Got” by Sam Jolman was just
released on June 11, and is available wherever books are
sold.
