Pete Holmes

Part autobiography, part philosophical inquiry, and part spiritual quest, Comedy Sex God is a hilarious, profound, and enlightening romp around the fertile mind of stand-up stand-out, podcast king, and HBO superstar Pete Holmes.Pete Holmes is the host of the hugely successful podcast, You Made It Weird; a sold-out-every-night stand-up comedian with two HBO specials, and the creator/star of the hit HBO show “Crashing.” But it wasn’t always roses for Pete. Raised an evangelical Christian, Pete’s religion taught him that being “bad” – smoking, drinking, having doubts or pre-marital sex – would get him sent to an eternity in Hell, so, terrified of the God he loved, Pete devoted his life to being “good,” even marrying his first girlfriend at the age of twenty-two only to discover a few years later he was being cheated on. Thanks for nothing, God.Pete’s failed attempt at a picture-perfect life forced him to re-examine his beliefs, but neither atheism, Christianity, nor copious bottles of Yellow Tail led him to enlightenment. Pete longed for a model of faith that served him and his newfound uncertainties about the universe, so he embarked on a soul-seeking journey that continues to this day. Through encounters with mind-altering substances; honing his craft in front of thousands of his comedy fans; and spending time with spiritual savants like Ram Dass, Pete forged a new life—both spiritually and personally.Beautifully written, spiritually profound, and often completely hilarious – imagine Ram Dass’ Be Here Now if written by one of the funniest men alive – Comedy Sex God reveals a man at the top of his game, and a seeker in search of the deeper meanings of life, love, and comedy.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,Very often we come across arguments about masturbation- arguments plagued with the conflicting opinions on masturbation. These kinds of arguments stem from the fact that Bible hasn’t explicitly warned against masturbation.This short book aims at helping people to understand how masturbation is actually a sin no matter how we try to justify our actions. When we are able to understand the true nature of masturbation, we will be able to come out of it easily and permanently.I have been counseling the youth for the past 2 decades. Now I am bringing out my book on masturbation and addictions on the request of my Church members. When I prayed about it, I too felt that God can use me as His instrument to reach more people through books than I can ever reach people in and around my city. I hope this book helps you in getting delivered from the sin of masturbation.You might wonder why I was requested to write a book on masturbation.Am I a Pastor? Nope!Am I a Minster? Nope!Am I a Preacher? Nope! Not yet!Then why?Because I, a filthy unworthy sinner (saved by His grace now) used to be someone who was so severely entangled in sins… addicted to such an extent that it disrupted my life, relationships and at some point my job. I was into porn addiction, sex-addiction and compulsive masturbation; I hated any kind of interruption and distraction. In the process I ended losing everything I would have otherwise treasured! I lost all the wonderful people who touched my life. Lost the great opportunities I had in my career. Being addicted will make us lose sense of what matters and what doesn’t. It makes us value people, things and situations differently.I was a topper in my school and universities, and had a great job. Then somewhere, I lost interest in everything. Nothing was good enough for me. Soon I became unproductive in all areas except sex. I lost a decade doing nothing and became depressed. There were days when I had the urge to grab complete strangers and do nasty things I wouldn’t dare to do if I were not so addicted.I do believe that I can help people as I have been in the worst place than most of them will ever imagine. I was pretty messed up. He filled me with happiness, peace and joy.By God’s abundant grace I have been set free. I am happily married to a wonderful young lady now and I am back to working. My prayers and love to those who are reading this book. God bless you and your loved ones.I came from a normal family. I was raised Christian. Masturbation started in a harmless manner. Sadly, I didn’t know that I can get addicted to that extent. Some people are wired that way; they get absorbed into sins easily than others.God helped me to become a Christian. I tasted real happiness and joy after getting saved. I was truly addicted. God delivered me. And He will deliver you too!-Pete Holmes
