By Lea Grover
It happened yet again. As I was sitting at the table for dinner with my children, I noticed my daughter's hand fishing around under her skirt.

"We don't play with our vulva at the table. Go wash your hands and finish your food," I scolded. She nodded, ran off to wash her hands, and resumed picking at her dinner instead.

Original Post By Kendall Davis
In her Post Kendall addresses some of her experiences growing up in the Purity Culture. She mainly focuses on the message that many girls receive about modesty and the importance of protecting their virginity for their future husbands.

"Always dress modestly. Men are visual creatures, and your short skirt could cause your brother in Christ to stumble. Men are very physical creatures, so avoid any sort of physical contact. You wouldn’t want to cause your brother in Christ to stumble."

Original Post By: Elizabeth Esther
In her post Elizabeth reflects on a powerful message that she received as a child in her church, the message is a simple one but clear "you are broken, you are unworthy". This sort of message is one that can be deeply damaging for a child and can lead to years of doubt and shame. Elizabeth goes on to talk about the damaging after effects of this message


" Even though I left an abusive church ten years ago, I’m still cleaning up the wreckage of the destructive belief that says I’m deeply, inherently broken"
 
along with the message she wishes the church and parents would teach their children

When I was a teenager, people often told me I looked a few years older than I was. At 14, I passed for 16. At 16, I passed for 20. At 17, I got pregnant, and all of a sudden I looked young again. Too young. Oh-but-she's-so-young young.

We all experienced shame in childhood—whether it was from being teased or bullied on the playground, from always being the last one chosen to be on a team, from not knowing the answers when called upon in the classroom, or from being rejected by the girl or boy we had a crush on.

Shame is a powerful emotion. When you think back to the shaming experiences of your childhood it is likely that you are

I Am Not a Sex-Fueled Robot

If this is true, then marriage is nothing but a market exchange where we trade emotion for flesh in a desperate attempt to satisfy our own cravings. If this is true, I am simply a customer settling a invoice with flowers and kisses, my wife is a deluxe call girl with a long-term contract, and love is a filthy currency. As a newlywed man, with stockpiled marriage advice ringing in my ears, the sex/love economy hung heavy over my head. I worried about whether I was paying the fair market price of love for the sex I was getting.  I was worried that my wife wasn't

  I have had the privilege over the last two weeks to read the dissertation of a brilliant woman    who has been studying how adult conservative Christians in Northern Ireland manage their  sexuality and intimate relationships prior to marriage. I will leave later next week to go over  and be the external examiner as she defends her research.
