Save The Boys
Today, my heart broke because of the questions boys were brave enough to ask out loud at the INTERNATIONAL BOYS CONFERENCE 2025 by Save the Boys Initiative led by the amazing Ruth Ebuka Ede Ede Ebuka Obika

Questions that should be answered at home.
Questions that carry the weight of trauma, confusion, and pain.
Questions like:
โ€ข โ€œWhat do I do when my aunt touches me in places I donโ€™t like?โ€
โ€ข โ€œIs it okay that my older cousin makes me watch things that make me feel dirty?โ€
โ€ข โ€œMy dad says itโ€™s fine to try weedโ€ฆ but I donโ€™t want to. Am I wrong?โ€

These are boys.
Not men. Not adults.
Boys who are navigating horrors that should never be part of any childโ€™s story.

And I stood there, listening to boy after boy share their truth many for the first time.
Tears welled in my eyes. Because what I heard was not just pain.

It was a reflection of our homes.

Yes, our homes.

When I spoke to the parents, I said it plainly:
โ€œWhat weโ€™ve heard today is not random. Itโ€™s the mirror of our parenting. Itโ€™s what silence, denial, and absence sound like when spoken from a childโ€™s mouth.โ€

So before you say, โ€œIt canโ€™t be my child,โ€
Before you say, โ€œMy son knows better,โ€
Before you hide behind church attendance or good grades

Listen up.

Because evil doesnโ€™t wait for permission.
And silence is a loud invitation.

Your son may be hurting.
He may be hiding.
He may be carrying weights youโ€™ve never asked him about because you never thought to.

Raise boys who speak.
Raise homes where theyโ€™re heard.
Raise your awareness before you raise your voice.

Parenting isnโ€™t about control. Itโ€™s about connection.
And if we donโ€™t build safe spaces in our homes, the world will give them dangerous ones.

This is exactly what our healing course The Intentional Parent Academy is about. Please stop parenting people who will need to go to therapy before they can be normal. Be the generational shifter for your family.

Be Intentional.

Many people, especially those who have chosen to walk the path of chastity, often struggle silently with s*xual urges. Some may even begin to think:
โ€œIโ€™ve never had s*x beforeโ€ฆ but what if I just watch something to relieve the tension?โ€

Letโ€™s talk honestly and faithfully about this โ€” because your struggle is real, and you are not alone.

๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜: ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—จ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—œ๐˜€ ๐—ก๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฆ๐—ถ๐—ป

Feeling s*xual desire is not sinful. It is a natural part of being human. God created s*xuality with purpose.
Even saints like Augustine and Benedict had strong urges. But what sets them apart is how they responded.

Your desire to preserve chastity despite temptation is deeply honorable. That struggle is your spiritual battle โ€” and it brings glory to God.

You may wonder:
โ€œInstead of committing fornication, can I just watch s*x videos to cool off?โ€

The Catholic Church teaches: No.
Po*******hy is also a sin, not a โ€œsafe outlet.โ€ Why?

* It feeds lustful thoughts (see Matthew 5:28)
* It turns people into objects
* It weakens self-control and dignity
* It damages your relationship with God and others

๐Ÿ‘‰ Itโ€™s not a โ€œharmless private actโ€ โ€” it is a wound to the soul, often disguised as relief.

1. Redirect the Energy

Go for a walk, exercise, take a cold shower.

Channel the energy into something good โ€” creative work, prayer, even cleaning your room!

โ€œOffer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God...โ€ (Romans 12:1)

2. Pray During the Temptation

Say honestly:
๐Ÿ•ฏ โ€œJesus, I give you this urge as a gift. Use it for something holy.โ€
Pick up your Rosary or pray a short prayer like:
โ€œSt. Joseph, Guardian of purity, pray for me.โ€

3. Avoid Triggers

Stay away from romantic or lustful movies, idle browsing, or sensual music.

Use phone/computer filters if necessary โ€” itโ€™s not weakness, itโ€™s wisdom.

4. Talk to God Honestly

Donโ€™t hide from Him. Say:
โ€œLord, Iโ€™m weak โ€” but I donโ€™t want to lose my purity. Help me.โ€

God is not angry with you for being tempted. Heโ€™s PROUD that you are choosing the harder road โ€” the road of holiness.

๐—™๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—˜๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜:

Your virginity and chastity are gifts to God. In a world drowning in lust, your quiet battle for purity is a powerful witness.

โ€œBlessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.โ€ โ€“ Matthew 5:8

๐Ÿ’ก Stay close to the Eucharist, go to Confession, and never stop turning to Our Lady when youโ€™re weak.

๐Ÿ™Œ If you fall, donโ€™t stay down. Run back to Jesus. He does not condemn โ€” He restores.

If you would like a daily short prayer or Scripture verse to help you stay strong, let us know in the comments.

Now, parentsโ€”listen well: I made a post about a 19-year-old girl addicted to s*x and ma********on. And immediately My inbox turned into a therapy center!

Girls. Boys. Teenagers.
They started pouring out their heartsโ€”some with stories worse than the one I posted. These young people are emotionally dying, but too afraid to speak. Afraid of shame. Afraid no one would understand.

But that post?
It told them there's at least some priests whoโ€™ll listen without judging.

Iโ€™m not a s*x therapist. But Iโ€™m working to link up with real professionals and organizations that help people battling s*x addiction and trauma. Iโ€™ll share their contacts soon so help can be just a click away.

But please, let me talk to parents for a minute:

Dear Moms,
If your daughter is over 15 years old, please, I beg youโ€”take her for a proper s*xual and health examination in a hospital. From the stories they narrated to me, Some of these girls are performing abortions with hangers. Yes, the same hangers you use to dry clothes. They are using it to perform abortions secretly. I don't know whether its posible or not, but to be on the safer side. Make sure your daughters aren't victims yet. We are literally losing girls to silence and shame.

Dear Dads,
If your son is over 15 years old, take him for a s*xual health check-up too. There are more young boys struggling with s*xual confusion and secret abuse than you think. Nigeria has more gay victims than most of us imagine. And many of them are your sonsโ€™ friends, classmates, or even your sons themselves. They are scared and voiceless.

Letโ€™s speak before evil steals this generation.
Rev Fr Prince Chidi Philip

Mindsets That Helped Me Keep My Virginity
No judgment, please this is just my truth.

1. I didnโ€™t want any man to say he has seen my nakedness.

Back in school, I used to hear boys say things like, โ€œOmo, I don knack that one,โ€ and even when I started business, Iโ€™d hear some guys talking openly about girls they had slept with.

One time, a girl kept calling a guy, and he said, โ€œAbeg leave me jor, you no even sweet for bed.โ€

Hearing these kinds of conversations made me decide I would never let any man have that kind of power or story to share about me.

2. I always wondered how people who have random s*x look at each other afterward.

I mean, una no dey shy? To me, it always seemed like an awkward, embarrassing moment.

I couldnโ€™t imagine giving someone that kind of access to me and still having to face them later.

3. I didnโ€™t want to get pregnant out of wedlock at least not by my own will.

Accidents happen, yes.

But I was determined not to willingly walk into a situation that could complicate my life or my future goals.

4. I didnโ€™t want to have to explain my past to my husband.

The idea of sitting down one day to count or confess how many people I had slept with didnโ€™t sit well with me.

I wanted peace of mind and fewer explanations.

5. I knew s*x isnโ€™t just physical itโ€™s spiritual.

I didnโ€™t want to be spiritually entangled with people I wasnโ€™t meant to be with.

S*x is deeper than just pleasure, and I didnโ€™t want to carry unnecessary baggage into my future.

6. I wanted my parents to be proud of me.

Especially my mum. She married as a virgin, and I wanted to follow her footsteps.

It was something I held dearly, and I wanted to make her proud.

To the One Keeping Yourself and the One Who Wants to Start Again,

First of all, I see you. Whether youโ€™re holding on to your values despite pressure, or youโ€™re deciding to take a new path, I want you to know youโ€™re doing something beautiful.

To the one keeping yourself:
You are not weird.

You are not outdated.

You are strong.

It takes courage to swim against the tide, to say โ€œnoโ€ when everyone else says โ€œyes,โ€ to protect what you value even when others donโ€™t understand.

Keep standing.
Your decision is valid, your discipline is admirable, and your story is worth telling.
You are not alone.

To the one who wants to start again:
Youโ€™re not too far gone. Your worth is not defined by your past.

Deciding to change is not weakness itโ€™s growth. Itโ€™s strength.

You can choose purity today, not because of guilt or shame, but because you now see differently.

You can reclaim your peace, your body, and your future.

God still honors your heart.

Donโ€™t let anyone mock your journey.

Whether youโ€™ve always stayed true, or youโ€™re finding your way back, youโ€™re worthy of love, honor, and a future filled with purpose.

Your story is not over. Itโ€™s just beginning.
