A Sex Book for Catholic Women? with Mary Bruno
from My Delight with Sarah Bartel · host Nathan Bartel
Mary Bruno wrote Missing Pieces: Female Perspectives on Sex for Catholic Women in response to a lack of women's voices among the popular speakers and authors who are most well-known for bringing messages about theology of the body and Catholic teachings on sex and marriage.The theology and teachings are beautiful and true, but they implicitly assume that sex will be pleasurable. What if it's painful, as up to 75% of women will experience at some point in their lives? What if they desire it more than their husbands do? What if they don't realize that there's skill to learn in this area, and incorrectly assume it will be amazing right off the bat, starting from the wedding night? These are some of the experiences Mary addresses in her book.
