I was so delighted to be interviewed by Teena Love on her podcast, The Lover’s Lounge.
We talked about everything sexual shame, including:
… My own upbringing in the Church and with Purity Culture
… What sexual shame is and how it shows up
… Why sexual shame affects women more than men (but men do not escape unscathed either)
… Church and religious attitudes towards sex and sexuality (and why it’s never positive or encouraging)
… Why you need to really understand what messages you received growing up and how they affect you today
… Why the body and unconscious mind hold onto shame even if you don’t consciously believe it anymore
… What I would say to concerned parents
… Why comprehensive sexuality education is so important
… How to overcome your sexual shame and reclaim the inherent goodness of your body and pleasure
