Episode 301: The 4 Categories of Euphemisms about Sex--that All Drive Us Batty!

Send us Fan Mail We're diving into the euphemisms used in Christian marriage books and by evangelical pastors, and when you translate them into actual language, it gets real creepy real fast. From Kevin Leman's "Mr. Happy" to Josh Butler's semen theology, these authors hide harmful messages behind flowery or vague language. When authors tell women to "give him a gift" while she's bleeding heavily or recovering from childbirth, they're actually telling her to perform sex acts while in pain—and that's just wrong. Most disturbing? The euphemisms that hide sexual assault and make it sound normal.THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORPre-order Dorothy Greco's book For the Love of Women which launches next week!Our CoursesCheck out The Whole Story!, our puberty course for parents/kidsCheck out our Orgasm Course!TO SUPPORT US: Join our Patreon for as little as $5 a month to support our workAnd check out our Merch, or any of our courses!Give to the Good Fruit Faith Initiative of the Bosko FoundationJoin our email list!OUR BOOKS WE MENTIONED:The Marriage You Want (and the new video series that goes with it!)She Deserves BetterLINKS MENTIONED:Fred Stoeker's Focus on the Family interviewJosh Howerton and the Shady Little Girls in MiniskirtsOur article on Josh Butler's book A Beautiful UnionSupport the showJoin Sheila at Bare Marriage.com!Check out her books:The Great Sex Rescue She Deserves BetterThe Marriage You Want and the Study Guide The Good Girl's Guide to Great Sex and The Good Guy's Guide to Great SexAnd she has an Orgasm Course and a Libido course too!Check out all her courses, FREE resources, social media, books, and so much more at Sheila's LinkTree.
