A Nigerian medical doctor who resides in the UK has given reasons why Churches should also include special prayers for impotent men as well as they do for barren women.
Read his lengthy post below.
“Why is it that in churches, there are special prayers for “barren women”, but never “impotent men”? Why do Pastors call people who are “seeking God for children” and only women come out, but never men? Society and culture has made childlessness a woman’s problem. But it is not.
Why do you see a couple struggling to have children and you only wonder if the wife’s womb is intact, but not the man’s penis or testicles? Why do our movies suggest a childless couple have the challenge because the woman had many abortions but not because the man had many STDs?
However you know what the facts of the matter is? Infertility is not a woman’s problem.
It is a couple problem. In other words, the medical fact is infertility is never solely due to the woman, but can be due to problems from both the man and the woman. of you don’t know.
If as a man, You take excessive alcohol,
You smoke cigarettes, shisha etc,
You wear very tight underwear,
You have repeated STDs untreated,
You have low sperm count,
You have problems with good erection,ALL of these, can make you infertile, Or difficult to ever father a child.
If as a woman, You have irregular periods,
You are overweight,
You smoke cigarettes, shisha etc,
You have repeated STDs untreated,
You produce milk when not pregnant,
You insert nonsense into your vagina to “tighten”, “flush” and “upgrade” it, ALL these can make you infertile.
Of course one can reply and say:
“But why do men get side chicks pregnant after their wives fail to give them children”? So many reasons:
Irregular sex,
The wife not ovulating,
The wife having problems,
Or just sheer being unlucky. Have you tried flipping the coin?
Let me help.
Anyway, if you are married or looking for children, Have unprotected sex 4 times a week.
Cut down alcohol- notmore than one small glass a week.
Stop smoking completely- shisha, cigarettes etc
Stay off contraceptives.
Don’t swallow cum- that’s not where it should go”.
