Hey...so us guys tend to be very interested in sex. No new revelation there! Last time I was posting on Tweb quite a while back I was trying to help a brother in here, as he struggled with porn. I gave him a lot of biblical counsel. He just couldn't let go of the addiction.
So I knew about the draw to want to look at girls, and lust and all that junk God calls us to avoid...I knew the temptation, even if God was gracing me with the power to flee from it. I hated the temptation. Everyday I had to repeatedly tell myself "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, female servant, etc." That works great for me.
I see em walking down the street in a little workout get up and I just repeat that Scripture.
Ok...so why the thread title? Well I started this new low carb diet back in November. I just wanted to get in shape. The diet is perfect for me. But the one benefit I wasn't looking for is that lowering carbs, lowers testosterone levels.
I didn't notice anything the first couple of weeks, but then it dawned on me...hey...I am not nearly as interested in sex as I was. That might sound bad to some young buck in here reading this, but for an old dude like me who has been annoying his wife with requests for years...it has been a wave of relief to not have the constant desire.
I wish I knew this when I was talking to that brother in here a year ago. He may have really calmed down if he got away from the typical 200 or more carbs a day Americans are known to consume. Try cutting down to 20 carbs and upping good fats and protein...it would be a blessing to many wives, at least the older ones.
Oh no...GoBahnsen puts his foot in his mouth again! Ok...go ahead and blast me. I'm ready
