Welcome to Celestial Sex, hosted by Chris Duce and produced by Colin Hatch, where we have open and frank discussions about sex in the context of Mormon upbringing. In this episode we speak with composer and producer Jimmy Sudekum about his Mormon childhood and his literal interpretation of the Law of Chastity. We discuss psychedelic drugs and their connection to spirituality and sexuality, atheism, and virginity. We also take a call with our guest Ash Brummer from a woman who is active in the LDS church, a virigin, and afraid of what her partners will think when she tells them she hasn't had sex.  You can donate to the show on Venmo @chrisduce- those donations help us pay for hosting and our upcoming trip to Utah to do interviews.

Celestial Sex, hosted by Chris Duce and produced by Colin Hatch, is an interview series about love and sex through the lens of Mormon upbringing. Our conversations dive into the confusing nature of growing up in Mormonism where sexuality is taught as something that's beautiful and sacred, but can only be explored after you're married- usually very quickly in between the temple sealing and the reception in the back of an '88 Mercury Tracer. Recorded in Los Angeles, we speak with post-mormons, ex-mormons, jacked-mormons, and active mormons alike about their parents' timid explanations of where babies come from, awkward bishop interviews that mostly focus on masturbation, first sexual experiences, current outlook on sex, and more.
