CRAZY GOOD SEX: Putting to Bed the Myths Men Have About Sex
by Dr. Les Parrott
Review by David Mundt

 

 

Written primarily to men, Dr. Parrott intends to expose six prominent myths that have infiltrated our minds and distorted our thinking about sex. The myths include: men want more sex than women do, sex with the same person gets boring, size matters, porn is not addictive, the Bible is very clear on masturbation, and the sex drive is too powerful to control. These myths yield skewed ideas, wrong conclusions and, often, foolish behavior. The truth sets men free to pursue a healthy perspective and a satisfying sex life.

This book is well-written and injected with lots of humor. Parrott’s approach is direct and bottom-line, which men appreciate and his insights and suggestions are adequately supported by Scripture, research, and his many years of counseling experience. The book’s strength is Parrott’s candid talk to men and its weaknesses include its brevity and its one-sidedness. There are other significant myths that distort our thinking and I would have liked to see Parrott address more than six. And exposing the myths that influence women would have made an excellent second half to the book.

 The book includes discussion questions for small groups and a note to wives at the end of each chapter. Parrott has also created online resources for men to access. This is an excellent resource for pastors who counsel, marriage mentors, and men’s and marriage ministries. Fans of Farrell’s Red-Hot Monogamy and Leman’s Sheet Music will love Crazy Good Sex.
