My guest Rob Kowalski grew up without a dad, and ended up becoming a male stripper in his early adult years. Finally, after leading a rambunctious life of sex and debauchery with countless women, he had a faith conversion experience which inspired him to stop having sex outside the bonds of holy matrimony.

Now in his mid-forties, Rob is still unmarried…and yes, he’s still not having sex. That led to his book, Why Waiting Works.

In most faith based settings, both teens and adults are simply told to stay away from sex until marriage, without really being told why. But in this episode, you’ll hear Rob’s resolute, logical case for abstention until marriage, and why even masturbation is out of bounds.

Are people getting the timing of marriage all wrong vis-a-vis modern postponement of adulthood? And how does the virtue of delayed gratification enter into all of this?

And is sex outside of marriage inherently disrespectful, if not downright abusive to women because they’re wired differently?

What if the big disconnect really is that we as men are still focused on sex, even if it’s while vowing abstinence? Whereas, what if a truly healthy relationship focuses less on sex as the central cornerstone of long-term happiness?

Wouldn’t it be easier to bypass fast sex under those circumstances? And moreover, does that have anything at all to do with what love is really all about…as opposed to pure lust?

And how does any of this apply logically or emotionally to men who aren’t of the Christian faith?
