I believe that Genetically Modified Skeptic presents this material because he wants the best for individuals struggling with sexual frustrations of various kinds that he sees as springing from Christian attitudes about sex outside of marriage. His motivations, I think, are honest and caring. However, his video, in my opinion is one-sided. It presents possible dangers related to Christian views about the topic, to the exclusion of possible dangers related to secular views. It also overly simplifies the question of sex as a "need." Further, viewers may not understand why I suggest that much of what Drew says presumes the falsity of Christianity. If Christianity is true, then as one of my patrons put it, "If extreme unwavering self-hatred is occurring after a sexual failure and repentance, what needs to change is one's beliefs about God's forgiveness, mercy, patience, and the height and depth of his love, not one's belief about whether certain types of sexual behavior are right or wrong." If Christianity is true, spiritual healthiness is an extremely important part of the human experience. God knows far more about what is physically, psychologically, and spiritually healthy than anyone.
