S10E1: How to Say Goodbye Well
<div>Over the last four years, we've written podcast episodes about the sex education the church didn't want you to have. </div> <div> </div> <div>One of the most threatening things for a high-control religious system is a goodbye, which results in actual transitions away from these groups that are secretive, forced, and avoidant.</div> <div> </div> <div>In this episode, we describe an intentional, proper goodbye, from the perspective of how we structure intentional final sessions with our clients. </div> <div> </div> <div>Also, this is the last official episode of Sexvangelicals. We ask these six common questions to help us reflect on our Sexvangelicals journey:</div> <div> <ol> <li>Where did we start and why?</li> <li>What did we learn?</li> <li>How have we grown?</li> <li>What did we do well?</li> <li>What do we wish we had done differently?</li> <li>What is the unfinished work?</li> </ol> <div>Please stay tuned to our podcast and our Substack, Relationship 101, about updates and next professional steps for Julia and Jeremiah. We're incredibly thankful for you!</div> </div>

S9E11: Ask a Sex Therapist: Does Body Count Actually Count? With Natasha Helfer
<div>This summer, we've answered the most common questions that we receive as relationship and sex therapists. And this week, we answer one of the most common questions: Does body count actually count?</div> <div> </div> <div>We live in a culture that views your sexuality based on how often you access it. Men who are deemed to have accessed sexuality a lot are viewed as "studs". Women are simultaneously valued and devalued based on how often they have sex. In Evangelical systems, folks who have sex before they get married are sinners.</div> <div> </div> <div>There are tons of psychological and relational problems that develop from this question, even as many of us are unlearning the myth that our value is tied to how sexual we are or are not. We talk with Natasha Helfer (@natashahelfermft on Instagram), certified sex therapist and one of the premier relationship therapists for post-Mormon folks, about how we can ask better questions. Check out our conversations about:</div> <div> <ul> <li>Redefining sex and sexuality</li> <li>Practicing equity in our relationships and sexuality</li> <li>How high control religion establishes negative expectations for relationships</li> <li>How relationships can be a primary space for deconstruction</li> <li>What you can expect from a quality relationship therapist.</li> </ul> </div>

S9E10: Ask a Sex Therapist: What If I Think I Am (or My Partner is) a Porn Addict? With Dr. Eric Sprankle
<div>This summer, we're reflecting on the ten most common questions we hear from our relationship and sex therapy clients. We often hear folks talk about their sexuality in negative ways, comparing their sexuality, consumption of porn, and masturbation practices to that of addiction. </div> <div> </div> <div>We self-diagnose as sex addicts, or we diagnose our partners as sex or porn addicts. And in doing so, we eliminate the opportunity for curiosity, to learn about our fantasies, our curiosities, our erotic templates, and our hopes. </div> <div> </div> <div>In this episode, we talk with Dr. Eric Sprankle (@drsprankle on IG), author of DIY: The Wonderfully Weird History and Science of Masturbation, about what we miss when we rely on the language of "porn addiction".</div> <div> <ul> <li>The historical roots of anti-masturbation and moral panics.</li> <li>The value of our relationships with ourselves as sexual people.</li> <li>Media literacy.</li> <li>Effective ways of managing disgust.</li> <li>The distinction between privacy and secrecy.</li> <li>Navigating rejection and other emotions when our partners choose a sexual interaction with themselves over us.</li> </ul> <div>Check out this episode and other episodes of Sexvangelicals on our website, <a href="http://www.sexvangelicals.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl= "https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.sexvangelicals.com&source=gmail&ust=1757001501730000&usg=AOvVaw358NxV8Bat6m9ysmtEnv93"> www.sexvangelicals.com</a>.</div> </div> <p> </p>
