Because our primary clientele are folks who have some sort of history with religion, we find it deeply important to cover this topic with nuance and care. We dive into Rev. Bev’s "Sex Is Good!" series and tackle questions such as: Who does my body belong to? What is safety-seeking behavior? What is embedded theology? And how to navigate working with educators who hold different belief systems from their clients?
You asked, we answered. Today’s episode tackles the following 4 questions: Why is there such value placed on the idea of virginity, yet sexual skills are still expected? How do you establish boundaries in a relationship surrounding sex? How can you manage and help a lowered libido due to antidepressants or hormonal medication? How do you become good at sex?

In this episode, we focus on fostering a welcoming, open conversation about reproductive health, emphasizing that it’s not about telling you what you “should” believe, but rather offering informative insights and creating space for thoughtful disagreement. The episode touches on personal growth, highlighting how one can evolve their views over time with the slogan “I used to believe ____, and then I learned ____, and now I think ____”—showing that changing your mind is a natural and valuable process. We also delve into our personal experiences of shifting perspectives on policies related to sexual and reproductive health.

Truth is, Halloween is just one instance of society writing us all a permission slip to dress however we want, so the question really is– what does it look like to give yourself permission to live your life how you actually want to? We encourage you to look at your personal recipe for a good time (ex. Halloween) and apply it to yourself, your dates, & your free time more often. After all, a recipe is only good if you use it.
