Counseling Conference to Talk About Porn and Masturbation

Last Updated: March 26, 2024

This November, CCEF is hosting a conference called “Sex Matters.” We’re very excited about this conference and highly recommend that you attend or purchase the teachings after they are made available online.

Winston Smith’s workshop, Solo Sex,” will speak to a variety of sinful habits: masturbation, pornography use, etc. It is entitled “Solo Sex” because his hope is to shed light on the real root problem of these habits: a focus on the self, a desire to feel good about oneself. Instead of using the typical toolkit-approach, talking to people about how to avoid lust, he will talk about how to say yes to authentic relationships.
