    Processing Purity Culture

    In this episode, Rachael kicks off season 5 with a solo episode on purity culture. She shares her research on the roots of purity culture, its popular voices, survey results from women in our community, and addresses three core lies offered by purity culture: (1) sexuality is the locus of either the gravest sin and the greatest joy, (2) men are inherently more lustful, and (3) marriage will solve all your sexual problems. Welcome to a place of honesty, hope, and healing for women struggling with sexual addiction.
