Reclaiming Catholic Intimacy

Bekah from Feminine Genius Ministries joins us to chat on the harmful views of sex and intimacy we have going into marriage and how those are affected by and how they affect NFP use.

Here's some of the resources we mentioned

Theology of the Body

Christopher West

Our Bodies Tell God's Story (This is what Bekah mentioned was written for a Protestant audience)

Theology of the Body for Beginners

Good News About Sex and Marriage

Holy Sex!

To Love, Honor and Vacuum blog (Please note this is not a Catholic resource and does not share the same views of this podcast and the Catholic Church on birth control and NFP. This is however a resource for breaking down the views on men always lusting and women needing to always be available to their husbands)
