The most fabulous utensil I have in my cooking arsenal is my Sous Vide machine.  Perfect steak every time.  

Take the steak, season with salt, garlic, pepper and umami if you have it.

Then put it in a ziplock bag.  Toss it into the sous vide for 2-3 hours at 131 deg F.

Take the bags out of the sous vide, take the steak out, pat dry and grill for 1 min per side.

absolute medium rare perfection.

 

Nice

what is the cause that makes us want to indulge in those images (more on that later)

I had really bad porn addiction and anything would make me watch porn. I watch TV show and a couple kiss I need watch porn, I read a book and couple kiss , even I read some talks on chastity and I need watch porn. Sometime I would go home from school for lunch just so I can watch porn. I even stole money from my mother to use her card for paid viewings and live chat, only when she report to police for fraud I admit it me who used it.

That's crazy man. I can only imagine how frustrating it is to go that deep and especially sneaking that money from your Mom. I am glad you decided to let her know, that takes some guts, good morals (I know you stole in the first place but still)  and totally would have been embarrassing. How did you eventually kick the habit?

Is was no pretty. Truthfully when I watch porn it had to be more violent every time for me to enjoy it, eventually I watch some things that were so bad they made me feel sick and then I never watch porn again.

dang. Well I am glad you learned your lesson from wasting that money. Ouch, I can only imagine how bad you felt BUT it is over and you don't have to worry about. Only to remember not to do it again. *and don't worry, I have wasted tons of money too. While also using a lot of it for good causes.

I am glad that you mentioned violence. I still need to begin the second part of the porn topic. I was going to include this somehow.

Brooooo,  she lit you up 😂 with La Chancla. 

pffft. Who hasn't thought about maybe... then reality strikes that you could definitely get a disease and your stuff would be all over the world. Not to mention when you want to make more money and do the risky THEN rip your life.

Definitely, Porn gives people unrealistic and even dangerous expectations.  I mean after only becoming aroused after watching beatings... you wouldn't even make it through the first night. Your butt would be in jail.

@JayKi It's cool how open you are being about your past troubles with porn by the way.

 

Porn is such a lie. They don't show the cut scenes when they aren't getting the results they want. They often Photoshop crap out of it. There is no smell for the actors that came to work with disease and still had to perform. They don't mention how so so lady was trafficked for work and the other gets beat if she doesn't comply. People think that ALL of the these women volunteer and that is false. Gonna be tough at the judgment bar when Varya asks people why they kept buying the porn her abductors were beating and forcing her to make.

Is was 10 year ago so I dont mind now. 

 

I use to jusitfy watch porn by telling myself is was their choice and is was fake. Even I watch violent porn I let myself because I was like they actor watching the woman be hurt is the same as watching a villain be beat up in movie or a spy be hurt in movie.

Most men that I talk to and know personally do not get to your level. I am glad you are here to be a representative of that side.

I would no say I am representative I just know how addictive porn is and the damage it can have on mentality toward women. Sometimes I miss the feeling I used to get when I first watch porn but I know is no worth the damage it can cause

I think you are JayKi. You made it out and you are being successful. I am totally happy for you.

I know the feeling. When I got back from deployment I wanted to go back, even though it was crappy being away from my wife. The adrenaline becomes addicting and you almost feel like you NEED it.

I dont no I thought a lot how will I protect my nephew and future children from Porn and I know no ways. I had very early exposure to porn and i think that was a big part of why i want to watch when i was teenager.  I hope my kids wont be exposed when they so young

So I was wanting to write another follow up to the porn essay I was writing. I kept hitting a wall and could only think "Porn is bad, don't look at it. If you ARE looking at it AND CAN'T stop then go to your bishop"  so in short, STOP looking at that crap. If you need help stopping go to your bishop. I may be inspired down the road but as of right now it seems cut and dry.

Also being addicted obviously means frequency in viewing. Blue mooners should recognize initiators and avoid them to keep a clean record.

Oh my goodness. Today is a Monday for sure. *yawn* ugh, wakey wakey self.

Hmm. Anyone have a good topic for today? I am going to try and think of one.

I was listening to a podcast where a bunch of really smart guys were talking about fatherhood, in the theme of Father's Day.

Right now is a tough time to be a dad.  With porn and predators scratching at the door to get at our kids via the Internet, shifting cultural values that tell us that to be a gentleman is to be toxic and misogynist and greater social pressure to say that there's nothing special or unique about fatherhood, the very role itself feels like it's under attack.

What is a manly man to do?

Sup man,

Just keep pushing forward. Not much else we can do but keep our fitness up (Physical, mental and spiritual) I consider myself to be very lucky, my wife is older than me but she encourages me to be the patriarch and leader of our family. It puts a lot of pressure on me but I think it is good thing. I can't slack. If she sees something she doesn't like she'll remind me what the right thing is to do and then let me make corrections. Let me see... let me give you an idea. Let's say in the past I have said " I am not going to church today. She would ask why and if I said "I don't know, I just don't feel like going" she would then say, okay we are not going then. Of course if it became a habit she would just load up the kids and go by herself but she loves and respects me. I, in return, have not expected her to work outside of the house. She worked maybe a month when we first got married but that's it. I have busted my butt and earned a living for my family. I have been pretty lucky as my wife has for the most part done her part as a volunteer housewife (In the beginning it was rough but as time went on dinner and tidying up become a habit)  Now, this brings up a topic I have for this thread.

I have a brother that moved out of my ward, who shall not be named, he had a wife that didn't go to work, she didn't clean the house and didn't make dinner. She pretty much kept the kids alive and that is about it. She spent her time reading books, playing electronic games and sleeping. I remember him being so mad and upset. For me, I was lucky, my wife got going and we have a ton of kids too. They only had two children if I remember right... or was it three, either way I really didn't know what to tell him. So, What do you guys think is the right answer?

 

tl;dr - You have a wife that doesn't work and want's to be a stay at home wife but she doesn't cook dinner or clean the house. What can a man do to help fix this?  And what do you do if she doesn't change?

My Sunday talk was on fatherhood.
