How might purity culture be affecting my marriage?: Ask Dr. Julie Hanks

In this episode, I coach Erica and address the question, “How might purity culture be affecting my marriage?” Sometimes in society, sexuality is framed as a male thing, where men are sexual and women aren’t. So we don’t have permission as females to own our own sexuality and sensuality. 

During this episode, I guide Erica through identifying specific ways she can open up her communication with her husband and ask Erica, “What would you say or do if this was just as much about you as it is about him?” We also talk about how to teach children about the principle of chastity and healthy sexuality without shame.
