Ep. 120: Why Heathens Have Better Sex Than Christians (Paul and Morgan / Girl Defined / Fundie Sex Influencers / Purity Culture / Dating / Relationships / Valentine's Day )

On this Valentine's Day special, Sadie and Gavi discuss sex advice from notorious fundie sex influencers Paul & Morgan and Girl Defined. Later, they are joined by sex therapist Liat Fruman to get a qualified professional's take on this advice. TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. In this episode, we are going to be going into a lot of detail about purity culture, modesty culture, which brings along a whole lot of homophobia and misogyny and some racism as well. We’re going to talk about sex-shaming, body-shaming, purity rings, the whole nine yards. A special note for any listeners who may be asexual, sex-repulsed, minors, or just wanting a heads up on actual explicit content. We are going to be talking about specific bits of sex advice given by these Christian influencers, but we’re going to keep it PG-13 at MOST on the streaming edition, although the Patreon edition might get slightly more blue. I want to give you an example at the top, just to level-set. The advice we’re going to be talking about is like, “try new things”, “wear something sexy”, “don’t be afraid to use lube” An extended, uncensored, and ad-free version of this podcast episode is available to subscribers at Patreon.com/LeavingEdenPodcast WE HAVE NEW MERCH AVAILABLE, AND A NEW MERCH SHOP, at https://leavingedenpodcast.threadless.com Stream the Leaving Eden Podcast theme song, Rolling River of Time on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/artist/6lB7RwSQ9X5gnt1BDNugyS?si=jVhmqFfYRSiruRxekdLgKA.
