Welcome to Episode 6 of the Old-Fashioned Friends Podcast!

This week, we dive into purity culture;  how it’s taught, how it shapes our beliefs about our bodies, and the silent pressures many of us grew up with. 

We discuss shame, silence, curiosity, gender norms, and how to build healthier, non-shaming conversations for the next generation.

We explore:

• ​What purity culture really is
• ​How silence around sex impacts kids long-term
• ​The gendered double standards many grew up with
• ​Sexual frustration, shame, and emotional consequences
• ​How we can heal, stay true to our values, and build healthier conversations

This is a safe, non-judgmental conversation. If anything we discuss brings up discomfort or old wounds, please pause, breathe, and return when you’re ready. Your peace matters.
