243. The Negative Impact Purity Culture Can Have On Marital Intimacy - And Our Surprising Poll Responses

"Purity Culture" wields an immense influence over numerous marriages, affecting not only women but also their husbands. From a young age, many of us were taught that sex is bad, taboo, and should be avoided at all costs, and it was a topic that was off limits for many people to talk about. Yet, upon marriage, suddenly it's deemed not only acceptable, but something you should do and enjoy often.. which we believe is true! It's hardly surprising that such ingrained beliefs can create obstacles for spouses, hindering their ability to embrace sexual intimacy without guilt or shame, because of the way they were taught about sex growing up. In this episode, we delve into the profound repercussions of "Purity Culture" on individuals and marriages alike. We'll share insights gathered from our poll on this topic and explore strategies to navigate this challenge within marriage. Our aim is to empower couples to discover joy and fulfillment in their sexual intimacy, free from the burdens of guilt and shame.
