Content Type: Help Deconstructing Religious Sexual Trauma
Description: I grew up with tremendous amounts of shame around my sexuality. I was taught that premarital sex was a sin and masturbation was probably just as bad. It took me years to overcome sexual shame and embrace a new sexual ethic. It also took years for me to attract the relatively healthy and committed sexual relationship I desired. I share all this and more in my memoir “Deconstructing Religious Sexual Trauma.”
Join me today to talk about:
• Releasing shame and anger around religious sexual trauma
• Obsessions with marriage, sex, and relationships
• Confronting patriarchal ideals
• Embracing sexual embodiment
• Sexpectations
• Forming new sexual ethics
• Masturbation, pornography and sex toys
• Soul ties - do they exist?
