About this episode

Lauren Elise Rogers discusses her journey from purity culture to embracing her sexuality and the challenges she faced along the way.

Dirty Secrets Ep 041 “Lauren Elise Rogers – Purity Culture, Secret Fantasies & Escaping Shame” Ever tried to go from “don’t touch yourself” to “be a sex goddess overnight”? Yeah... it doesn’t exactly work. Lauren Elise Rogers was raised in deep evangelical purity culture, married a man who later came out as gay, and spent years untangling shame from her sexuality. Now? She’s a sex educator on a mission. We go deep on obligatory sex, religious guilt, post-divorce horniness, and why masturbation was her ultimate act of rebellion. Lauren shares her fantasies (hello, teacher/student), the therapy that saved her, and what purity culture really does to long-term relationships. If you were raised to feel bad about pleasure—or still can’t shake that inner guilt—you’re going to love this one. @thekatykat @DirtySecretsPodcast @KateShelor @laureneliserogers
