Did you know that by adulthood, most people have experienced some form of sexual wounding?\n\nToday's conversation with Sam Jolman, therapist and author of the new book, "The Sex Talk You Never Got," is one of my absolute all-time favorites. Why? It truly surprised me.\n\nIt\u2019s so rare to find a nuanced conversation about sex\u2014especially in a world where we\u2019re constantly tugged between a reductive view of \u201cpurity\u201d and an equally reductive sense of \u201cpermissiveness.\u201d \n\nThis conversation is packed with absolute gems\u2014there\u2019s depth, wisdom, and healing in every moment that\u2019s relevant to all of us, no matter our stories.\n\nHere\u2019s what we dive into:\n- How to establish safety, consent, and trust in intimate relationships\n- An eye-opening statistic from Harvard about what kids long for from their parents on the topic of sex\n- How to have a truly meaningful \u201csex talk\u201d with your kids\n- What God actually desires from us when it comes to sex \n- Sam's advice for those who\u2019ve experienced sexual wounding or brokenness and want to begin the healing process\n\nFind a full transcript and list of resources from this episode here.\nWant to receive free bonus content? \u2060\u2060Sign up for my free weekly email here.\n\nIf you enjoyed this episode, you'll love:\nEpisode 125: Recovering From Purity Culture: Dismantle the Myths, Reject Shame-Based Sexuality, and Move Forward in Your Faith with Dr. Camden Morgante\n\nThanks to our sponsors:\n\nGo to www.organifi.com/bestofyou today and use code BESTOFYOU for 20% off your order today.\n\nGet an additional 15% off Fatty 15's 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/BESTOFYOU and using code BESTOFYOU at checkout.\n\nGet 40% off your first order of Sundays.
