Today's conversation started with noticing how often women from Christian background find themselves disconnected from their bodies, desire, turn-on and pleasure. We talk about how this disconnection brings about difficulty identifying consent within oneself and makes it confusing to figure out if you're doing something for someone else more than for yourself. Finally, we offer our best practices for getting in touch with your turn-on. While this episode uses primarily language referring to women, what we talk about can be relevant to people of any gender. Lurie mentions the book Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape by Peggy Orenstein.

“[Leti in ‘Lovecraft Country’] is such an excellent example of society equating a woman’s sexual confidence with her sexual experience and labeling women who take ownership over their bodies as easy or slutty.” -Meg McCarthy This week, we explore the meaning and the myth of virginity in film and television as it relates to women coming of age. Meg draws upon the work of the groundbreaking expert on adolescent sexuality, Peggy Orenstein. “I'd rather people think of sex more horizontally [ …] as a way to explore intimacy and pleasure than as this misguided vertical race to a goal,” writes Orenstein in her book, Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape. In other words: it’s “first times” (plural) and there’s no cookie cutter experience that applies to everyone.  Then we talk to the super talented actor/writer/director Sujata Day (Misadventures of an Awkward Black Girl, Insecure) about her excellent feature directorial debut Definition Please. It was an official selection at the 2020 Bentonville Film Festival in the Feature Narrative Competition and has been having a great run on the (virtual) film festival circuit ever since its August 2020 premiere. We also uncover the real-life story of the shocking birds and the bees “talk” Day received from her mother as a teen. Check out Beandrea’s review of Definition Please for The Hollywood Reporter. Movies & Television Little Darlings This 1980s classic set the tone for a host of other movies like it to come in future decades about how adolescent girls define virginity. For Angel (Kristy McNichol) and Ferris (Tatum O’Neal) it’s a competition, a really big deal, and not what either girl thinks it will be. I Believe in Unicorns The Film Fatales Founder and writer/director Leah Meyerhoff debuted her film I Love Unicorns at the Tribeca Film Festival. Meyerhoff uses a blend of magical realism and stop-motion animation to take us inside the imaginative world of Davina (Natalia Dyer - a previous podcast guest from Episode 1!) as she begins a tumultuous relationship with an older guy. Here, we get to see a darker side of what it means to have sex with a man for the first time as a young woman whose inner world is quite different than the world around her. Lady Bird We discuss how Greta Gerwig’s instant classic pushes the boundaries of the stories we’re used to seeing about the first sexual experiences of teen girls. Of course, that includes a brief chat about Timothée Chalamet as well.  Farah Goes Bang With the fraught 2020 election now in the rearview, it’s refreshing to watch this “on the road” movie about three friends who spend the summer campaigning for John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign. Co-writer/director Meera Menon adds a funny, moving, and much-needed spin on the genre of virginity movies by exploring what it means to make a conscious choice when it comes to sex. Blockers Director Kay Cannon’s teen sex comedy could be seen as Little Darlings 2.0, as it’s another pact that three friends make to have sex on their prom night. The twist here is that their parents find out about it and try to thwart their plans. We discuss what reviews of the film got wrong (we’re looking at you LA Times) and celebrate the queer storyline of one of the main characters. Normal People (S1, Episode 2) With full-frontal nudity and unabashed passion, Normal People is not a typical story about teenagers coming of age and falling in love. We take a closer look at the second episode of the series and ask about how much is too much when it comes to believability in sex scenes and why it made us appreciate romance novels more.  Lovecraft Country (S1, Episodes 3 & 6) Lovecraft Country from creator and showrunner Misha Greene is our absolute jam! We chat about the episodes “Holy Ghost”  and “Meet Me in Daegu” and just how good this show is at crafting sex scenes that help us better understand the characters and make the show such a thrill to watch. We also have a short callback to CherryPop Episode 4 with HBOs intimacy coordinator Alicia Rodis, who worked with the actors and crew on the “Meet Me in Daegu” episode. Credits CherryPop is presented by CherryPicks. Our hosts are Beandrea July (Twitter @beandreadotcom) and Meg McCarthy (IG megjomccarthy). The show is recorded, produced and mixed by Beandrea July. Our executive producers are Miranda Bailey and Rebecca Odes. Our music is by Jordan Balagot. (Soundcloud jordanbla) Special thanks to the whole team at CherryPicks.

I’m replaying a fan favorite episode of Body Kindness, with New York Times bestselling author Peggy Orenstein. [Adult content & language] How do we teach our daughters to respect their bodies, while still being curious about their sexuality? What do you say to a 2 or 3 year old in the bath? Would you tell a 10-year-old what the clitoris is for? If you’re squirming in your chair, so am I, but this is important issue if we really want our kids to normalize sex. Body liberation and sexual liberation go hand in hand. Find out why Peggy Orenstein, bestselling author of Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape and Cinderella Ate My Daughter, thinks we all gotta start doing a whole lot more talking to our kids and teens about what’s normal with our bodies and in sex for everyone’s health and well-being. --- About Peggy Peggy Orenstein is the author of The New York Times best-sellers Girls & Sex, Cinderella Ate My Daughter and Waiting for Daisy as well as Flux: Women on Sex, Work, Kids, Love and Life in a Half-Changed World and the classic School Girls: Young Women, Self-Esteem and the Confidence Gap.

Seattle's own Dr. Tina Shermer Sellers (psychologist and sex therapist) joins Dan for a fascinating conversation about what is known as Purity Culture, that near-ubiquitous set of sexual-moral claims and practices that ruled the Evangelical zeitgeist in the 80s, 90s and 00s, and is still today probably the default sexual understanding of most American Protestants. But is that understanding Biblical? Does it accord well with what we are learning through science? Why did it come to such prominence? Does having premarital sex really take away "a piece of you" every time you do it, and what's with the double standards for boys and girls? We get into it all, including a bunch of interesting listener questions. Later, Dan answers a patron question: "What is the Gospel, and how do you evangelize?" (1:30:00) SEXUAL SHAME is a visceral feeling of humiliation and disgust toward one's own body and identity as a sexual being and a belief of being abnormal inferior and unworthy. This feeling can be internalized but also manifests in interpersonal relationships having a negative impact on trust communication and physical and emotional intimacy sexual shame develops across the lifespan in interactions with interpersonal relationships one's culture and society and subsequent critical self appraisal. there is also a fear and uncertainty related to one's power or right to make decisions including safety decisions related to sexual encounters along with an internalized judgment toward one's own sexual desire.

As they have done in so many other areas, the millennial generation has picked and chosen which parts of their social and sexual legacy they want to inherit.  Particularly for millennial girls who were handed a legacy of sexual revolution, increased efforts to promote self esteem, Title 9, several waves of feminism and the ability to Lean In, they have made some interesting choices and compromises for themselves. Nowhere is this more profound and more complicated than in their navigation of their own sexuality. How this plays out in our culture, how it impacts our daughters and what is says for the future of men women and sex is at the heart of Peggy Orenstein's new book Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape. My conversation with Peggy Orenstein:
