Jasmin was raised as a Christian and saved herself for marriage. But her wedding night was not the beautiful moment she had imagined. Jasmin suffers from Vaginismus - an involuntary tightening of her vaginal muscles that makes sex extremely painful, if not virtually impossible. This is such a brave and fascinating discussion on the way that religion and purity culture can have a huge effect on our sexual health.
