In which we include a discussion that didn't make it into the full episode on purity culture, plus some post-recording discussion. Content warning: we joke a lot about sex but also have a serious discussion about masturbation, porn, and what it means to view yourself as a person worthy of good sexual attention. If those topics don't put you in a healthy headspace, feel free to skip. You are a beautiful, valuable, worthy person who is loved and capable of loving.
As always, The Liturgists have had a longer and better produced episode on porn, which is worth a listen: https://theliturgists.com/podcast/2019/10/3/porn
And for a good deep dive into a modern Christian sexual ethic that first does no harm, check out Just Love by Margaret Farley: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/623342.Just_Love
