John Piper is very guilty of one thing; spilling secrets. Men lust. He has experienced lust but no longer. His desire is for total marital fulfillment with his wife.
I'm guessing they have very lovely marital encounters; neither he nor his wife have experienced promiscuity by all accounts and he is very dedicated to her. If you were a wife, wouldn't it be nice to know your husband has only eyes for your femininity? I would think so, but I'm not a wife.
I'm really not sure why T.W.W. would mock a Christian man for seeking to be free of lust and giving other husbands hope.
The temptations of the flesh are never ending are they not? I think so. Does God call us to fight the battle? He surely does.

Hooray for you John Piper. You speak truth to a people who hate truth.
Prov 5:19
Avoid Immorality
…18Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice in the wife of your youth. 19As a loving hind and a graceful doe, Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
Be exhilarated always with her love. 20For why should you, my son, be exhilarated with an adulteress And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?…
[ BTW, they are breasts, not "tatas."]
Dissecting Wartburgwatch and I-Monk which presents themselves as blogs dissecting Christian trends but dissect, mostly, conservative Evangelicals who have an historic orthodox view of Scripture. Not a lot of happy commenters seen on those blogs.
