S9E04: Ask a Sex Therapist: What Happens if Sex Hurts? With Dr. Camden Morgante


Listen Later

This spring, Julia and Jeremiah are answering ten of the most common questions they hear from clients, exvangelicals, and the larger cultural zeitgeist.   One of the most common questions is "What happens if sex hurts?"   In this episode, Julia and Jeremiah are joined by Dr. Camden Morgante (@drcamden on Instagram), author of the new book Recovering from Purity Culture. They reflect on how to address and reduce the physical and emotional pain that a repressive situation or larger culture, such as Purity Culture, might bring to a sexual experience.    Join them for a practical, empathetic conversation about: 
  • Purity Culture and cumulative trauma.
  • The normalization of pain in religious and non-religious settings.
  • How physical therapy can help mitigate the pain of vulvodynia and vaginismus.
  • Divorcing the notion of work from pain
  • Sitting with grief.
Tune in to our Substack, Relationship 101 (sexvangelicals.substack.com) over the next few weeks for more info about working with sexual pain.
