333 - All About Sex [Not Really a Christian Conversation]

[Not a "christian" or "non-christian" conversation,"  nor a conversation revolving around my personal sexual ethics. Okay, now with that out of way -- Joey}

God gives graciously.  Can this be seen any clearer in the sophisticated way humans are able to experience pleasure within one's very anatomy?   And just like most other things, humans have managed to screw (no pun intended) this up also.   Erica Smith, sex educator of 20 years, speaker, writer, consultant (including online one-on-one's) and creator of Purity Culture Drop Out comes on to talk all things sex, some advice and insight for all.  

This episode covers a variety of topics surrounding human sexuality, including the benefits of regular masturbation for men and women; and the conundrum between valuing feminine freedom and power, while hating their objectification.  Is it a bummer to be asexual?  Would it be helpful for people to expand the definition of what sex is?  Are some people wired incompatible with monogamy?  

Erica points to the Puritanical values that have been baked into the very sexual fabric of  America, impacting those in and well outside of church/religious culture?  

At top of episode, Robbie Maddison, Hayne Griffith and Joey Svendsen talk vaccines as Joey shares the very close call his mother had a few weeks ago with that there COVID-19.
