For the last installment for Smut Month, Heaven discusses Purity Culture--an abstinence movement that requires young girls to pledge purity to their fathers until marriage. Often times this is cemented in an elaborate ceremony known as "Purity Balls" where they make these pledges to their fathers. In this episode, Heaven points out how Purity Culture treats young girls like property, can lead to self-worth and self-esteem issues, an attempt to control the sexuality of young women, and some of the creepy elements attached to this movement.

Heaven also makes a major show announcement.
