Euphemisms for Sex (Quickie)

Earlier on in our podcast, we had an episode in which we gave advice to our newlywed selves. Today we want to revisit that topic a bit, but rather than talking to ourselves, we want to share the wisdom we've gained with young wives. Sponsor Thanks to Married Dance, a Christian marital aid and sex toy store, for sponsoring this episode. From the Bible Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 Resources   Episode 32: Advice for Our Newlywed Selves  Episode 43: Dealing with Sexual Baggage  The Bad Plan of Bartering for Sex - Hot, Holy & Humorous Embrace a Sexual Growth Mindset - Hot, Holy & Humorous  What I Wish I'd Known Before the Wedding Night - Hot, Holy & Humorous A Letter to My Newlywed Self: Age 25 - Hot, Holy & Humorous Faithful Counseling (online therapy with a fellow believer through Better Help)  Episode 153: Practical Tips for Reaching Orgasm Unlock Your Orgasm: Through a Christian Lens by Bonny Logsdon Burns Orgasm Webinar - ONLY $10!
