I left my church because it wasn't safe for queer people - Kristen

People typically talk about an absence of sex as something gone wrong, followed by an array of advice to spice up, fix, rekindle, reboot, top down, bottoms up, laugh, cry, and eventually achieve perfect sex. But what if your life feels pretty perfect without it?  Kristen grew up in Purity Culture, so her lack of interest in dating was a plus as a teenager. But when she became an adult and still wasn't interested in dating, it became clear that something else was going on. Kristen eventually realized that she is asexual - a person who has little to no interest in sex. Kristen joins us to talk about her experience of asexuality, how it differs from aromanticism and demisexuality, and what she is and isn't interested in for potential future relationships.   Kristen is a 36-year-old cisgender female. She describes herself as white, asexual, demiromantic, and she grew up in the Baptist church. She's currently single and describes her body as chonky.  Full show notes:  https://www.goodgirlstalk.com/posts/podcast/romance-and-sx-arent-the-same-thing-kristen   Update:  Since this episode was released, the podcast has concluded.
