Podcasts about purity balls

Purity pledges are a thing of the past, right? Portia Brown is a sex coach and educator, and a purity culture drop out. Hailing from the Midwest, Portia knew from an early age that anything she wanted to understand about sex she was going to have to read about at the library. A religious upbringing paired with abstinence only sex ed didn't stop Portia from becoming the teenager who was thrilled to be handing out condoms at her college fresh week. This week Jeremie and Bryde chat with Portia about purity culture and its impact on society and reproductive rights, evident in the overturning of Roe v Wade, the rise of modesty influencers, and the increase in conservative ideologies. They discuss how the Covid pandemic may have pushed society even further in this direction. Jeremie learns about Father Daughter Balls, or, Purity Balls, commonplace in some conservative a Christian groups in the US.Portia's Links:InstagramTwitterTiktokWebsite Keywordssex coach, purity culture, religious beliefs, oppression, women, LGBTQ+ community, challenge, dismantle, inclusive, sex-positive, purity culture, reproductive rights, societal norms, conservative ideologies, COVID-19, political divide, abstinence-only sex education, comprehensive sex education, Hosted on Acast.

Ah, yes. This week on the podcast, we're back to recapping documentaries about the puritanical choices some communities make about sex. If you were with us for “Purity Balls” this is one you don't want to miss. Things escalate in the first ten minutes of the documentary when we learn the central figure in this story was once on a search for what she calls ‘spiritual parents.' What does she have in common with Real Housewives and Kathy Griffin? Oh, we'll tell you.

  Laurie Segall's journalism career has landed her in the unlikeliest places, from purity balls, sex parties, and awkward interviews with some of Silicon Valley's biggest leaders. She recounts these larger-than-life stories and more in her memoir Special Characters: My Adventures with Tech's Titans and Misfits. This week, Laurie joins the pod to talk about her journey into journalism, and how she managed to create a position for herself at CNN. She talks about being one of the first reporters covering the tech industry during Web 2.0, and how she's managed to hold powerful figures like Travis Kalanick accountable. Plus, Laurie talks about what led her to eventually leave CNN, and why she decided to strike it out on her own.  

50 episodes in and we're finally answering a question we broached in the first month of our podcast, why exactly do people get married and how have marriage patterns changed from the past to the modern day. What can we say, we're nothing but timely. Speaking of which, is anyone else excited for the last season of Game of Thrones? We're a little behind but excited to see how the showrunners wrap it all up. It would be hard to bungle a media franchise this big and important.Naomi calls Joel in to discuss Marriage, a History, by Stephanie Coontz, a condensed discussion of the historical roots of marriage and how different cultures changed the meaning and importance of marriage over time. Part 1 has us talking about the modern "crisis" of marriage and some of the reasons people thing marriage rates have chanaged, before we get into how the earliest cultures stumbled into pairing-arrangements.  Part 2 will explore more modern perceptions of marriage and romance as we approach the modern era of dating in the 21st Century.The Dollop on Purity Balls can be found here.

We're back, and it's officially season 2! We wanted to ease back into the couch cushions by hanging out and browsing Reddit. We read through some Christian-related dilemmas, including sisters who don't believe in dinosaurs, petty email feuds, and offensive D&D characters. And ultimately, we will judge who is really the a*hole. Also included in this episode is the story of Ellie's Christmas Eve ER visit and Jordyn's family tradition of bird related violence. Hope you enjoy!

How did such a nice word that we use to mean sweet and polite, also come to be an insult for some? Well, today's word, nice, started out as a pretty mean word, actually. Depending on your circle of influence, you might want someone to call you nice, because it's a compliment. Like, you know those 16 year old girls who attend Purity Balls with their dads where they commit to remaining a virgin until marriage? But if you're a satanist, or even an artist, you might be outraged if someone uses it to refer to you or your work. And really, Nice was a real downer in Old English. To be called nice wasn't nice. Because Nice is one of the most poly-semus words I've come across – and that's just a fancy way of saying a word that has multiple meanings. So from drug smugglers, nun's hens, the first English dictionary with a ridiculously long title and Sex and the City, let's have a look at the rather complicated history of a tiny word. PS. I'm launching a new segment today - Naught Words from Around the World.

For the last installment for Smut Month, Heaven discusses Purity Culture--an abstinence movement that requires young girls to pledge purity to their fathers until marriage. Often times this is cemented in an elaborate ceremony known as "Purity Balls" where they make these pledges to their fathers. In this episode, Heaven points out how Purity Culture treats young girls like property, can lead to self-worth and self-esteem issues, an attempt to control the sexuality of young women, and some of the creepy elements attached to this movement.Heaven also makes a major show announcement."Pledging My Purity To Dad (Celibacy Documentary) ":https://youtu.be/3mhez8t8IFs"Would You Pledge Your Virginity to Your Father?" by Jennifer Baumgardner:https://www.glamour.com/story/purity-balls"The Purity Myth: How America's Obsession with Virginity Is Hurting Young Women" by Jessica Valenti:https://www.sealpress.com/titles/jessica-valenti/the-purity-myth/9780786744664/Support me:http://patreon.com/HWRpod paypal.me/chickdelalynch

SEASON 1 FINALE: The episode is all about VIRGINITY! Specifically, I'm using the recent controversy over T.I's interview and comments about his daughter's hymen as my opportunity to bring in the socio-historic context we need to really understand where virginity comes from and the consequences of messages about virginity for women and their bodies. I discuss the 6 P's of Virginity, the neck test, Purity Balls (real thing), and reveal which industrial nation is the only one that still provides funding for Abstinence Only Education programs (it's the U.S.). Be sure to show some love to your local Planned Parenthood, SIECUS, and the TORCH Program and pick up a copy of Virgin: the Untouched History by Hanne Blank or Purity Myth by Jessica Valenti!

Who invited God to the party anyway? He just mooches everybody’s booze and brags about his glory days of creating everything.

In January, Jessica found out her brother Kevin was reading a book about the Satanic Panic and she thought it would be fun to sit down and have him walk her through the ins and outs of that era. They recorded in February. They had technical issues and had to scrap it. They tried again in April. It went very poorly. They scrapped it. But, third time's a charm, and so now we present to you "The Bluemke Sibling Dollop Tribute Journey Through the Satanic Panic." Notes: This podcast is a hat tip to The Dollop, a favorite American History comedy podcast hosted by Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds. (We suggest starting with Episode 2: Purity Balls if you enjoy the FA Podcast.) Kevin's sources are from Satanic Panic: Pop-Cultural Paranoia in the 1980s edited by Kier-La Janisse and Paul Corupe.

This episode addresses the age-old question: which is worse, purity balls or sororities? In either case you are going to be faced with some pretty weird rituals and traditions, but in only one are you likely to be asked to make a promise you probably won't keep. We also talk mental breakdowns, new meds, whether Patti would be a nothing or not, and much more! 

Kathryn Lofton is a professor of religious studies and history at Yale University. Her book Consuming Religion (University of Chicago Press, 2017) offers a collection of eleven essays of cultural critique that reflect on the connections between religion, consumer culture, celebrity and the corporation. Her definition of religion is capacious and founded on Durkheim’s understanding of it as a form of social organization that determines who we are. In contemporary culture religion is an attempt to mass-produce relations of value and generate both control and freedom. Applying this definition to popular culture, she examines binge watching, the cubicle of the Action Office of Herman Miller, Purity Balls, Hotel Preston’s innovation in the Spiritual Menu offerings, and the fascination with the Kardashians. In an ethnographic study of the Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs, she demonstrates how the idea of corporate culture becomes a form of religion. Lofton challenges us to see religion everywhere in our construction of meaning and values. This episode of New Books in American Studies was produced in cooperation with the Society for U.S. Intellectual History. Lilian Calles Barger, www.lilianbarger.com, is a cultural, intellectual and gender historian. Her current book project is tentatively entitled The World Come of Age: Religion, Intellectuals and the Challenge of Human Liberation is forthcoming from Oxford University Press.

Live from Adrienne's car, Sarah and Adrienne discuss the weirdness that are Purity Balls, Adrienne sides with Joel Osteen's for not opening the church to flood victims and then thye try to figure out why some people are bad kissers.

As the modern era has developed and expanded various ideas and definitions, notable stigma and presumptions surrounding sex and sexuality still remain. In particular, the sexual freedom of some is cast down as promiscuity, fecklessness and misdirection by others. This led Swedish photographer David Magnusson to pursue stories related to purity balls, emotionally prominent events in which young daughters vow to abstain from sex until marriage, and their fathers promise to protect their purity in return. Certainly, where the realms of sexuality and spirituality combine, people tend to develop very strong opinions. What do purity balls teach us about willpower and personal devotion? How do we negotiate freedom of choice with deeply-held doctrine? Can we navigate these realms with a critical lens without offering judgment and condemnation of one side or another?

Gareth Reynolds is back to discuss the beauty of purity balls. Tour DatesSources Dollop Merch

Today we're talking with Jeff Bogle, dad of two daughters and one of the best writers (Out With the Kids) out there.  In a recent story in Huffington Post celebrating Jeff's oldest daughter's 10th birthday, Jeff shared his sentiments about what it means to him to be a dad: "We like to think of ourselves, us parents, as the sculptors, but really, it's our children who are molding us, accentuating our strengths and forcing us to reckon with our shortcomings. If we are open to the experience, we will become better people as we parent. This is exactly the gift my first daughter gave, and continues to give, to me..."   As a dad of a daughter myself, I invited Jeff stop by and get some "raising a daughter" talk going - so today we're covering a lot of ground: #BanBossy (and be sure to see Jeff's story on other words that merit banning!) Matt Walsh and his controversial position on "My Little Pony" - and boys.  When and why to talk about "beauty" with daughters Why - according to research - dads of daughters feel less "Gender Stereotyping" A new trend, called "Purity Balls" (yup, it's about virginity) And much, much more supporting why we think daughters rock.
