    A177 Do Men Struggle with Emotional Intimacy?

    A177 Do Men Struggle with Emotional Intimacy?

    It's no secret that men in Western culture tend to struggle with emotional intimacy. It seems almost ingrained in our culture. Ryan stumbled on a comment from a Reddit post that seemed to offer an interesting perspective on why men find being emotionally intimate so difficult and how that impacts our romantic relationships before they've even started.
    We are talking about
    Why emotional intimacy struggles lead to the "nice guy" effect
    Why women seem to have an easier time being emotionally intimate with men without a romantic connection
    What can be done to help craft a better and safer culture for men to express their feelings and for men and women to establish better boundariesAbsurdity is available on all major podcasting platforms and at https://theabsurdity.orgPatreon: https://www.Patreon.com/AbsurdNetworkTwitter: https://Twitter.com/RealRyanBeckerIG: https://Instagram.com/RealRyanBecker

    A176 Adventist Pastor Endorsed Spousal Rape?

    A176 Adventist Pastor Endorsed Spousal Rape?

    In November, SDA Pastor Burnett Robinson stepped down after making egregious statements from his pulpit that went viral. There was an apology issued, but a couple of months later, Robinson showed up on a live stream in Jamaica for another SDA organization and defended his behavior, claimed he never apologized, and attacked those who publicized his statements.We believe in accountability, especially to our own denomination, so we are talking all about the Robinson situation, detailing what happened, and sharing resources and what you can do to help recognize abuse in your community and what you can do about it.More info: https://fb.watch/bwGADeO4PT/https://atoday.org/north-jamaica-conference-still-venerating-disgraced-ex-pastor-burnett-robinson-giving-him-a-platform/

    In late 2021, Billie Eilish spoke about her experience with exposure to pornography and how it has affected her emotional health, sexual experiences, and more.

    What her statements potentially mean for sex workers
    How Christians and pastors can have better conversations around pornography, sex, lust, and romance

    A173 The Josh Duggar Case is Absurd UPDATE

    We thought we'd do an update on the Josh Duggar case, though we didn't know the conviction would come so quickly. Josh Duggar has officially been convicted, but we believe this discussion is still highly relevant and important. We hope you do too!
