This week the team dives right in for some good old fashioned oversharing. Julia talks about her experience with purity culture, growing up in a church community that taught sex before marriage, queer relationships and masturbation are sinful and wrong. Then Steff and Ashley jump in to discuss the harms these beliefs cause, the myths they perpetrate and why you shouldn’t let fear and misinformation keep you from experiencing sex in the way that feels best for you.
