Sexuality Q&A (Part 1): Sex, Porn, Masturbation & God’s Design | 10KQ Podcast Ep. 11

Sex. Porn. Masturbation. Waiting. Shame. Healing.In Part 1 of this student Q&A episode of the 10,000 Questions Podcast, Val O’Brien is joined by Ian Shy and Jordyn Gent from Authentic Intimacy to talk about what the Bible actually teaches about sexuality and to answer the real, raw questions students are asking.Before jumping into the Q&A, this episode sets a foundation: sex isn’t just a rule list or a random urge—God designed sexuality with a purpose that runs from Genesis to Revelation. From there, we get honest about pornography, shame cycles, desire, boundaries, and what to do when your story doesn’t match the “ideal.”In this episode, we cover:- The Bible’s big-picture story of sex: what it’s for and why it matters- What’s the point of waiting until marriage?- If I’ve had sex before… will God forgive me?- What if I felt forced but never said anything?- Why am I so addicted to porn? (and what might be underneath the behavior)- Is masturbation okay? (how to think biblically in a “gray area”)If you feel stuck, ashamed, confused, or tired—don’t quit. You’re not alone. Jesus isn’t afraid of these questions, and you don’t have to be either.Resources & Links:Learn more about the 10,000 Questions project: https://ask10KQ.orgSubscribe for more student-driven conversations about faith and real life.Comment your question for our next Q&A.Share this episode with a friend who needs encouragement.
