The way people experience and express themselves sexually
POPULARITY
Netflix's Sex Education recently dropped its final season, and with it came a new asexual character who - while groundbreaking - has proven to be quite divisive within the ace community. To that end, it seemed like the perfect time for Lauren to have a conversation with asexual activist Marshall John Blount, known online as the Gentle Giant Ace! Marshall was homeschooled by his mother from third grade onward, so he didn't directly experience the social pressures of high school dating. Even so, he knew that he felt "different" from his peers, and when he finally confided this to a family member, the information that she gave him on asexuality was a revelation. Marshall discusses the specific set of challenges that Black asexual people face, and shares how, even in activist spaces, he is almost always the only person like him in the room. He also explains why he literally wears his identity on his sleeve (or rather on his back, in the form of an ace pride flag), and much more!Find Marshall on Twitter at @AceGentle, on TikTok at @gentlegiantace93, and on YouTube and Facebook as Marshall John Blount!This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5207650/advertisement

In this episode, we follow up on a sermon text from Ephesians chapter 5 on sexuality, morality, coarse joking and more. How far is too far? When is joking, no longer joking? What do we do to honor Christ, honor each other, and honor our own bodies? We also answer questions about 90's/00's hip-hip and James' arrest story. Coming off of recent travel, we wrap it up with a quick trivia game on the world's busiest airport, the Atlanta airport.
Today we hear from Dr Preston Sprinkle about empathy surrounding the gender and sexuality conversation, the arguments in his latest book and some hard truth about denying the Biblical commands
This week Josh Baldwin and James Meehan talk about how to respond to questions about sexuality. In May of this year, we recorded an episode called "The Idol of Sexuality", in which we talked more about the theology behind our beliefs on sexuality. This weeks episode is designed to be more of a Q&A to help answer some common questions that you may be asking.
In Christ, we are not defined by our sexual desires or our sexual sin. The Bible teaches that our bodies have been united to Jesus and part of being faithful to that union is fleeing from sexual sin.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Steph Morris (@iamstephmorris) to discuss the power of reclaiming our sensuality and sexuality. Steph is a feminine embodiment coach and breathwork facilitator who helps women reclaim their sensuality and sexuality. She empowers women to live as their most confident and empowered selves, embracing their pleasure and femininity. Steph shares her personal journey of overcoming shame and disconnection to embrace her own pleasure and self-expression. We explore how sex can be a mirror for our relationship with ourselves and others, and how to navigate communication and exploration in the bedroom. Steph emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, self-pleasure, and self-love in creating a turned-on life.

Today we dive into topics that are sensitive + complex in nature- discussing the black male brute archetype, how it came about + perpetuates across history and how it impacts sexual expression, tenderness, + platonic touch for men. THIS episode depicts the impact to us + the culture at large when we don't take the time to understand nuance. Let's change the cultural narrative by inspiring conversation. If you resonate with this episode be sure to share the podcast or leave me a review. In this episode, you'll hear: The contextual factors that influence the processing of trauma, including aspects like race, gender, location, and ability The pervasive influence of systemic racism, gender expectations, and societal biases that hinder safe expression and emotional completeness Aaron's personal journey, navigating the layers of his sexual story as a Black male in the United States The exploration of our familial legacies, uncovering the unconscious narratives we inherit and continue to carry The damaging impact of the "black brute" narrative on our sexuality and our experience of touch How systemic oppression has limited access to touch for BIPOC individuals The value of community as a resource to reconnect with our authentic selves The absence of tenderness and platonic touch within the Black community Common narratives that emerge in Aaron's work and the influence of homophobia Tracing trauma through various mediums, including pornography and music, and the importance of vulnerability and embracing our full humanity in our erotic experiences The construction of traditional masculinity and the factors that threaten this identity Embodied consent practices in the context of tender touch, exploring what is often missed and nuanced The supportive role of the kink community for those who have been chronically untouched THE SKINNY ON OUR SEXY GUESTS AARON JOHNSON is a facilitator, public speaker, and touch specialist who practices closeness as a way to break down barriers between people. As co-founder of both Holistic Resistance and Grief to Action, Aaron takes the time to hold the stories of black people around homophobia, transphobia, internalized racism, and those that are Chronically UnderTouched. Because the purchasing, selling, lynching, and commoditization of the sexual energy of black bodies is a part of historical and present American culture, the long term impact of those trauma stories should be acknowledged and held as a map for our collective healing.

To listen to Jordan Candlish now, you might never guess he was once an ambitious ladder-climber in the corporate accounting world. To the outside world, he was the picture of success: achievement, stability, recognition. But deep down, he knew that staying in that world and doing things the way everyone else did them was actually playing small and safe with his life. He knew he was meant for more. So he took the leap into his own healing and evolution, and it's never been more clear to him that he made the right choice. Today, Jordan facilitates The Path, a men's coaching program that helps men heal old wounds, open up new possibilities and true purpose, and gain the maturity and confidence they need to live full-on in their lives and relationships. Aimee sat down with Jordan in Austin for a wide-ranging and intimate conversation about why men's personal growth work matters now more than ever, and why healthy brotherhood is so essential for men to thrive. What you'll learn in this episode: How Jordan went from high-powered corporate life to coaching men Who he had to disappoint — and why he got okay with it What propelled him into this work The main issues that get addressed when coaching men Jordan's view of porn (and what he thinks men should do) How he deals with controversy, failure, and criticism Come join us Oct. 13-15 at Desire On Fire Experience LIVE in gorgeous Austin, TX!

Not long ago, most non-Christians treated pornography as a harmless expression of sexual freedom. For half a century, Hugh Hefner's Playboy philosophy dominated, teaching people to wink at porn use. Children discovering a relative's “stash” became a popular trope in TV and film and was played off for laughs. In the digital age, distribution and access became easier and instant, and the content grew darker. Finally, more people are admitting that, though it was never harmless, this content now poses a life-altering danger to those who stumble across it—especially children. In 2021, singer-songwriter Billie Eilish confessed to being one of those children harmed by pornography. In an interview, Eilish described her first encounter at age 11: “I think it really destroyed my brain and I feel incredibly devastated that I was exposed to so much porn,” she said. The things she saw on screen gave her nightmares and led to her “not saying no” to things she should have refused in her own relationships. Eilish was hardly a voice crying in the wilderness. In the wake of our collective reckoning with abuse and addiction, it has become clear that most children are introduced to sex through pornography, and the porn they're encountering is like nothing previous generations knew. Even if you don't count what is being forced on them in elementary school classrooms, what they are being exposed to is extreme, degrading, and, in many cases, criminal. For example, mainstream, left-leaning publications such as The Atlantic and The New York Times have recently featured essays grappling with the explosion of online pornography featuring children, and how devilishly difficult it is to separate this illegal content from what many view as the acceptable, consensual kind. Those who still attempt to tame or domesticate pornography need to wake up to the devastation it has inflicted on kids and teens. A good start would be to listen to what children and teens have to say about it. Recently, theater director Abbey Wright at The Guardian, wrote about her project discussing this topic with 10,000 children and young adults. These kids, some as young as six, described a reality nothing like that one scene in Home Alone. “I was exposed to porn before I'd had a proper sexual experience,” one young man said. “[I]t is like a self-fulfilling prophecy. You see something, and you re-enact it. That's what I like because that's what I did. That's what I did because that's what I saw.” The average age at which kids are first exposed to pornography is now 12, and there are plenty of outliers. According to Wright, parents can be naïve about this fact: “Whenever I mention to the parent of a child that age that many six-year-olds have seen pornography, they say: ‘Oh, my child hasn't.'” In what might be the most haunting line of the article, one teenager simply scoffed at that assumption: “If you put a phone in a child's hand, you are putting porn in a child's hand.” Girls and young women described how warped their expectations and the expectations of boys about what's normal in a relationship are because of this content. “Young women told us about the pressure they felt from pornography... These porn women do it, so why won't you?'” A young man from London summed it up this way, “I think pornography is a bit soul-sucking. …People can't do anything else. I don't want to get to a point where I feel like I'm not me any more.” “Destroyed my brain,” “soul-sucking,” “I'm not me any more.” Are we listening? Porn in any form is a radical distortion of God's design for human relationships, especially in how we are to treat each other. It's an attempt to force the transcendent into an immanent box and to pretend that something God intended as meaningful can be made meaningless. It cannot. Any time something sacred is mocked and the image of God in all involved is denied, there will be victims. Now, a generation of young people are voicing sorrow and regret because of what we defended as “freedom” and “harmless fun.” This was true when Hefner mainstreamed porn in the 1950s. It is even more true today. The internet and smartphones have merely cultivated this hideousness for what it is. We must keep unsupervised devices out of unsupervised young hands. Do it. As a society, we must end this systematic assault on young eyes. Now that so many seem to be finally “getting it,” maybe the opportunity is here. To learn how you can join that cause, check out the terrific work of the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. This Breakpoint was co-authored by Shane Morris.

Theology of the Body teaches the positive and beautiful message of sexuality within the context of human and divine love. How do we communicate this good news to our children? How do we reject and avoid the pornographic culture while not instilling fear of sexuality or hatred of the body? And what is chastity, really? Mike Gormley and Dave VanVickle answer these questions and more. Snippet from the Show Protecting our children's innocence is not the same as keeping them naive. We want to hear from you!

Before 1900, few Europeans associated sexual preferences or desires with identity. One engaged in a variety of sexual acts with various partners, some licit (like your spouse in order to procreate), some illicit (outside of wedlock, a prostitute, someone of the same sex, etc.). But generally speaking the idea one was homo or heterosexual did not yet exist. How and why sexual preferences evolved into identities is the subject of this episode. Among other things, topics discussed include the politicization of sex and the body in the late 19th century (17:27), the Eulenberg Affair in 1907 and the role of scandal in driving identity awareness (19:58), the rise of sex researchers such as Magnus Hirschfeld (35:39), and postwar reactions to the new public face of homosexuality (46:15). Also see important clarifications at (5:21), or skip the intro here (0:50).Point of clarification: the episode describes trends taking place from about 1890-1930. Public displays of male homosexuality became increasingly prominent in urban centers after 1890, becoming more common after 1918. So like many of the modernity-related phenomena we've discussed, one can find traces of these developments that predate the war.find out more on our website www.historyoffthepage.com or support us on https://www.patreon.com/historyoffthepageSupport the show
Am I immoral for being a sugar baby? Have I become my parents worst nightmare? Today we're diving deeper into religious questioning. Do I even believe in the creation story and is that even the right context to be questioning morality? Maybe the story was fucked to begin with. Maybe this is actually the start of me fully letting go of my Christian conditioning...
Mike Parker tells the story of how he told his family he was gay. It's the warmest story, with a family who were totally accepting, and yet Mike's vulnerability is palpable.

Episode 333: Virgin Boyfriend Gets Cucked by College Soccer Jock: The Birth of a Cuck Erotic Fiction Story, written and performed by Ruan Willow. Enjoy this cuckholding story of a young virgin Catholic college woman named Mariana, who is dating a nice guy, Matt. They've been dating awhile, and even kissing is a strain, but Matt surmises she's holding back her feelings of desire. Why? Because religion has fed her a load of BS about sexuality, and she's closed herself off to it. Or so, to Matt, it seems. But, in truth, she wants the taste of a big strong aggressive, and passionate cock before she enters a safe, boring marriage with Matt. Matt has tried to get her interested in being sexual with him until he's been blue balled to the size of moons, but to no avail, Mariana won't have sex until marriage. The relationship explodes one day as he watches her flirt with the college soccer team star. Matt cringes as her face lights up and her sexiness intensifies like a sparkling supernova of desire. Matt trudges off to class alone and laments his situation during class. He looks for his girlfriend afterward. What he finds not only shocks him but turns him on as he realizes he's a cuck.This story was inspired and requested by a fan of the show. Thank you for your amazing idea!

The Intersection of Sobriety and Sexuality Tawny Lara is an NYC-based writer, podcast host, and sober sexpert. Her writing has been featured in Playboy, Men's Health, and the Huffington Post. Her most recent book, Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the Booze, is available now! In this episode, you'll hear: You don't have to reach rock bottom to decide to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol. How did her environment have to change when she got sober? What does it mean to "date yourself," and why is it an important step on the journey to sobriety? Tawny tells us she was the stereotypical bartending party girl when she was living in her hometown of Waco, Texas. She didn't have a traditional rock bottom moment, instead, she felt like she was constantly living at rock bottom. She was binge drinking regularly, driving drunk, having unprotected sex, and entering into unhealthy relationships. Eventually, she realized something had to change, so she bought a one-way ticket to New York to get serious about her writing career. Your problems are going to move with you no matter where you go, but for Tawny, leaving the bartending scene in Texas allowed her to escape the patterns she was stuck in and become the writer she knew she could be. However, after she moved to New York, her partying decreased, but she was still drinking regularly. At 29 in 2015, she realized that alcohol was standing in the way of her being the best version of herself. She decided she would give up alcohol for her 30th year and start a blog about it. What started as a year-long social experiment to hold her accountable turned into 8 years without a drink and a thriving career showing others you can thrive in sobriety. Alcohol abuse is often a symptom of a larger problem. For her, those larger problems were undiagnosed anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Once she quit drinking and started yoga, therapy, and developing healthy relationships, she was able to meet her real self, address the real issues, get on proper medications, and stop self-medicating with drugs and alcohol. After she removed the alcohol, she finally had to deal with the repercussions of her past actions. Tawny says "That is the work". The hard part is figuring out why you drink and how you can replace that with healthy coping mechanisms that you can use every day. Tawny's first anniversary of sobriety, 2016, is the same year she met Lisa on Instagram. Tawny went to Lisa's book launch, and the rest is history. Together, they have been co-hosting the Recovery Rocks Podcast for the past 5 years. Recovery Rocks is part of Tawny's passion to live sober out loud and show people that you can have fun, date, network, have great sex, and live a great life without alcohol. Tawny's new book, Dry Humping, is about this intersection of sobriety and sexuality. When she gave up alcohol, she felt like she had no idea how to date, let alone have sex without drinking. Between the social stigma of sobriety being boring or the "liquid courage" we think we need to engage in social activities, she has had to do a lot of unlearning problematic tropes and figuring out who she is in a world that expects certain behaviors from her. Women are taught their role is to please others, and that leads to a lot of their dating and sexual activity being performative. Mathew and Tawny end on an interesting conversation about how porn and social expectations impact men and women in different and surprisingly similar ways. Tawny also talks about the impact alcohol and drug abuse have on the LGBTQ+ community, her bisexuality, and how sobriety changed her relationship with her own identity. "When I got sober was really when I met me for the first time." In this episode, you'll hear: Why was Tawny drinking to excess? Why did she feel like she needed to get sober? You don't have to reach rock bottom to decide to reevaluate your relationship with alcohol. What are some of the stigmas surrounding sobriety? How did her environment have to change when she got sober? What does it mean to "date yourself," and why is it an important step on the journey to sobriety?

We need to queue Justin Timberlake's "Bringing Sexy Back" as we introduce our next guest, Kim Coffin. So, how is Kim Bringing Sexy Back? She is THE REAL DEAL!! She specializes in Sexuality, Tantric Sex and Relationship Transformation and in this episode she shares with us just a few of the tools we can use to unleash our sexual confidence and unlock profound new levels of self-love, pleasure, empowerment, and intimacy with yourself - and in your relationships! This woman is a certified Trauma Informed, Somatic (body-based) Empowerment, Sex, Love & Relationship Teacher, Speaker {soon to be Author} & Coach, graduate of Layla Martin's Institute of Integrated Tantric Sexuality, and founder of "Get Your Sexy Back". In this episode, Kim shares with us some of her methods for creating deep trust and safety in your body and mind, and she can show you how to RECONNECT to your body, ACTIVATE your turn-on, HEAL heartbreak & shame, and RECLAIM your true SEXY self so that you can fully step into your UNAPOLOGETIC POWER! And honey! You KNOW we are ALL about unapologetic power!! Raise your hand if you've been a victim of sexual assault? Trauma? Betrayal? Burnout? We KNOW you each have experienced at least one, if not more than one of these. Kim helps us identify where these experiences have gotten "stuck" in our bodies and helps us to heal so you can step back into the drivers seat and go after the life they desire by reconnecting to their innate inner wisdom. Her own story and experience of healing is one we call all relate to. She's survived sexual assault and trauma, betrayal, 3 traumatic births (now teens/adults) and postpartum periods, adrenal fatigue, and total burnout. She remained self-employed the entire time (25+ years) and she's here to share with us how she overcame it all and now serves others to do the same. In this episode, Kim teaches us: Our bodies hold the keys to what we want and don't want. However, most of us are living "in our heads" and not following what our bodies are telling us what we desire, what we trust or what is aligned for us. We need to heal to be comfortable to feel, sense and trust our bodies. De-armoring is a practice that releases the sexual or other trauma that we are holding in our body. In this practice we check-in with our bodies and gently massage our bodies and check in by exploring what's going on where we feel these tensions Keep a mirror with you and 3x a day look yourself in the mirror and wink at yourself. It will start to shift your thinking about you. Most women have experienced some kind of sexual trauma at some point in life. It may not have come in the form of an assault It may just be some degree of shame that we've been made to feel about our bodies and therein comes the need to heal that trauma. Somatic, or body-based, work can help us heal these traumas. If we don't do the work to heal our trauma, it can especially take its toll on women later in life and perimenopause. Trauma can manifest itself in more impactful symptoms, depression, hot flashes, back, and joint and muscle pain. And...your body will keep tapping until you're able to come home to heal your traumas and come home to yourself.

GOD & SEXUALITY Brokenness 9.24.23 Secularism disciples a man to learn to live without God 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God; 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit. Romans 1:21-23 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. When we reject who God is, we inevitably create a god that looks like us. Romans 1:24-28 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. John Mark Comer Deceptive ideas (the devil) -- that play to disordered desires (the flesh) - that are normalized in a sinful society (the world) When a generation turns away from God and His design, it is the next generation's responsibility to restore it. We must be willing to stand in the face of cultural secularism with a vision of God's design for our sexuality We must be God's holy people; living in God's design for our sexuality. We must continue to love well with both grace and truth; leading people into freedom and life in Christ. Love is a rugged commitment to someone, which involves presence, advocacy, and companionship over time as we walk toward the kingdom of God - which means growing in holiness, love, and righteousness together. – Scot McKnight

Research consistently shows that young people who wait until after the wedding have a better chance for a stable, fulfilling, happy marriage. They also do not have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies. Though this does not fit with contemporary assumptions about human beings, obedience to the Lord's loving plan always works best, and brings incalculable benefits into our lives. While we may or may not hear this kind of moral clarity in church, it's been quite a while since the government has admitted the negative consequences of unmarried sex, particularly for teenagers. However, a 2016 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated clearly that young people who are virgins register much higher in nearly all health-related behaviors than those who are sexually active. These behaviors included everything from using seat belts to avoiding drug abuse, eating a healthy diet, going to the doctor, exercising, and avoiding riding with a driver who's been drinking. In addition, one finding that the media did not mention at the time is that while sexually inactive teens are healthiest, sexually active homosexual and bisexual teens fared significantly worse than their sexually active heterosexual peers. At the time, the CDC conveyed the blockbuster conclusions of their report as drily and bureaucratically as possible: “Significant health disparities exist.” A summary of the CDC study provided by Focus on the Family clarified just how significant these disparities are. First, smoking. The study found that sexually active heterosexual teens were 3,300% more likely to smoke tobacco products daily than their virgin counterparts. “Same-sex/bisexual-active” teens were 9,500% more likely to smoke daily than the virgins. Second, drug abuse. The study found that sexually active heterosexual teens were 500% more likely to have ever injected a non-prescription drug than the virgins, while a whopping 2,333% of the “same-sex/bisexual-active” teens were more likely than the virgins to have done so. Now, as Focus noted at the time, correlation is not causation. The research did not prove that abstinence causes other healthy habits. However, the very fact that the CDC noted a relationship between sexual behavior and other habits is more than a little significant. Though the CDC would never put it this way, the summary offered by Focus on the Family was clear and succinct: “The sexual choices and values our young people hold have real-life consequences far beyond sexuality itself.” Parents who care about the health and well-being of their children should especially take note of this data and have confidence that they can make a difference for their child. Researcher Mark Regnerus highlighted in his book Forbidden Fruit that the intensity of teens' religious beliefs is more important when it comes to sexual activity than exactly what religious beliefs they claim. The first thing, then, for parents to care about is our kids' faith. A strong, informed, and vital relationship with Jesus will help them resist the kinds of temptation and peer pressure—sexual and otherwise—that assault them every day at school and online. In other words, worldview matters. The CDC report demonstrates there are consequences for a secular worldview that sees bodies as something we “own,” something external to who we are, something we use (or abuse) depending on our desires, our will, or our “identity.” The Christian worldview, in sharp contrast, teaches that our bodies are integral to who we are, both in how humans were created and in that Christ took on flesh to make all things new. The extent that we and our kids truly embrace this will determine how we treat our bodies and the bodies of others.

Nothing has caused more animosity between the Church and the culture than issues surrounding sexual freedom, gay rights, and transgenderism. In this program, our guest teacher Aaron Pierce winds down his series, Not Beyond Reach. Learn how we can engage people on these sensitive subjects, with unconditional love without compromising the truth.
The government of New South Wales in Australia is contemplating a bill that would make it illegal to counsel an individual to “change or suppress” their sexual orientation or gender identity. But the Anglican Diocese of Sydney is refusing to comply. Last year, Anglican leaders there issued a statement on concupiscence, an aspect of the doctrine of sin having to do with fallen desire, clarifying its relevance to same-sex attraction. Archbishop Kanishka Raffel remarked, “Probably in our culture... that sounds harsh. But this is basic Christian doctrine. … What we want people to know from a pastoral point of view [is] that there is God's help to help us live God's way.” Especially when it comes to sexuality, it is widely assumed today that our desires are inherently good and define who we are. But the Christian vision of sin implicates human behavior and human desire. Christ rescues us from our sinful acts and our sinful nature. Thankfully, some Christians down under still have the courage to say so.
