Conversations about sexuality, consent, and faith are often fraught with shame, yet they are crucial for personal dignity and agency. In this spicy episode, Joanne and Ricardo are joined by Diana Wark (Centre for Sexuality) and Jess Andrews (Campus United) to explore the impact of purity culture, hear diverse experiences, and emphasize the urgent need for healthy conversations around love, intimacy, and mutual respect, by:

• Exploring the roots and consequences of purity culture 
• Understanding how faith can shape our views on sexuality 
• Emphasizing the importance of consent and personal agency 
• Sharing diverse perspectives from professionals in the field 
• Advocating for a healthier narrative around relationships 
• Encouraging communities to foster loving, open dialogues 

The episode resonates with a strong message: whoever you are, you deserve love, dignity, and respect in all forms of intimacy.
