Christian Sex Myths Ruining Marriages

What if some of your core beliefs about sex in Christian marriage simply aren't true?For YEARS evangelical culture has repeated the same messages about men, women, and desire: Men are the only visually stimulated creatures. Men "need" sex constantly. And women are supposed to just tolerate it.But when you look at scientific research, Scripture, and real life, those myths start to fall apart.In this episode I'm breaking down 3 of the most common myths and why they are causing harm.You’ll learn:Why the “men are more visual” narrative isn’t supported by researchWhether God actually created men to need sex every 3 daysWhy the Bible paints a very different picture of women’s sexual desireBecause good theology shouldn't lead to bad sex.Resources referenced in this episode:Neural substrates of sexual arousal are not sex dependent by Ekaterina Mitricheva, Rui Kimura, Nikos K.
