    Subscribe for $5.99 a month to get bonus content most Mondays, bonus episodes every month, ad-free listening, access to the entire 750-episode archive, Discord access, and more: https://axismundi.supercast.com/ Can there be a “sex positive” version of the high-control religious sex and gender ideologies we’ve explored in recent episodes? What about individuals, most notably women, who find tremendous sexual fulfilment within this framework and the institution of marriage it affirms? Do they stand as evidence that critiques of this system are misplaced? And what about the dozens of Christian sex manuals that affirm the aim of both male and female sexual fulfilment and pleasure? Are all of these evidence that there can be a “sex positive purity culture?” Check out this episode to hear Dan’s response to this points, and to hear why he believes a truly sex positive version of this sex and gender ideology is a myth.

Why do they think it represents an apocalyptic menace, threating to destroy the institution of the family, the church, and society itself? What is it about the subculture of high-control religion that explains this perspective in a time when pornography use is more widespread and mainstream, and less taboo, then it has ever been?
