About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of leaving purity culture, focusing on female desire and the associated shame.
Nobody warned us that leaving purity culture would eventually lead to this conversation. This week we're talking spicy books, female desire, purity culture, and the surprising ways shame follows women long after they've grown up. Plus: Song of Solomon, Bridgerton, and the question nobody wanted us asking—is female desire actually sinful?
