Craig and Jonah discuss Craig’s four-part plan for achieving better and more frequent Catholic intimacy in marriage. Step 1: Wife must understand and appreciate appreciate her husband’s “need” for intimacy. 2. Both spouses mutually desire that the man should not take matters into his own hands. 3. The husband must actively and progressively reduce his wife’s mental load, especially with the handling of household chores and childcare. 4. The husband must understand and actively engage in his wife’s love language. These factors are crucial for achieving better and more frequent intimacy in a Catholic family.

Episode 170: Nocturnal Transmission: can Elon Musk save Catholic men?Craig and Jonah discuss advancements in science in technology, and the key differences between how men and women experience sexual pleasure and climax. Jonah discussed scientific research in to harnessing electrical signals in various parts of the body to similar and cause female orgasm. The so-called Orgasmatron. Is a device or pill available to men to cause nocturnal emissions, and would such aids, if they could be designed, be morally licit? Would you use it? Why or why not? The ability to morally and licitly achieve a sexual release, aside from intercourse, could have a monumental impact.

"The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose."

Craig and Jonah have a lengthy conversation with a newly-married listener named Josh who recently found the podcast and was upset at some of our video clips. After Josh threatened to call our bishop on account of our content, we invited Josh on the show and he graciously accepted the invitation to defend the faith. This episode is our discussion with Josh about his complaints and criticisms, which led to a respectful and productive discussion on topics such as masturbation, marriage, abstinence, addiction, and even Onan.

Episode 167. From Occam to Galileo, weird dreams to white lies, why do all roads lead back to Onan?Craig and Jonah discuss the challenges and demands of parenting, balancing work and family, and how tough it is to be a good husband and father during the best of times. They discuss how abstinence and less intimacy, which results in PMAS (post marital act syndrome) makes these responsibilities more difficult.Jonah is visited in a dream by Craig, who tells everyone to go to confession if you fall in to solo sin. Frequent confession, whether you struggle with sexual sins of lust, masturbation, or porn or not, is just a good practice for Catholic men and women. A recent YouTube short when “viral” by our meager standards, and led to some very nice discussions and invitations for interviews for people to discuss their stories and lived experiences. https://youtube.com/shorts/qDYSERtJkVU?si=O3YYAwZr-pAVeswBCraig puts on his heretic hat for a moment and engage in some speculative theology as to what God really does and really doesn’t care about when it comes to sexual morality. Occam’s razor: “This philosophical razor advocates that when presented with competing hypotheses about the same prediction, one should prefer the one that requires the fewest assumptions[3] and that this is not meant to be a way of choosing between hypotheses that make different predictions.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razorDoes man and the Church’s past struggles with fitting our experience and observations in to an earth centered universe, bear any resemblance to the seeming complexity of the traditional nothings of man, sex, and concupiscence?

Some important and (hopefully) helpful changes are coming to the podcast.1. Full episodes will remain available, in audio, on the audio side (e.g. Spotify, Apple, etc.).2. Full video episodes will be unlisted on the YouTube Channel, and under an unlisted Playlist called the "Unfiltered Catholic Man". If you wish to have access to full video episodes, go to the link tree and email us and put "email list" in the subject line and indicate you want to be added to unfiltered videos.3. We will put out a public, shortened clip on the normal public channel. We may include links to the unlisted videos so you can access without an email list. 4. We're looking for a volunteer to help with the behind the scenes stuff. Basically, helping take the video content and have it saved and uploaded to YouTube and Spotify. Editing not required unless you want to. If you like generating clips, shorts, and reels, we'd love to have some help. This is a volunteer position (for now at least), but Jonah and I are just limited by our time to generate the quality content you want and deserve, and to help this channel reach more people. Email us if you are interested.

Christopher West is the face of the Theology of the Body in most Catholic circles, aside from Pope John Paul II himself (Karol Wojtyła). Craig wrote to Christopher West and asked him two questions. Question 1: What does the Church teach about the morality or licitness of "other acts" (i.e. those acts between a husband and wife that result in climax but don't involve or occur at the time of intercourse. Question 2: Why does the Church teach that, and what is the harm that he believes comes to marriage.
