In this episode, the gents discuss continue their exploration of distortions of eros, the third love, by examining the opposite approaches advocating a Victorian puritanism and a more open and promiscuous stance.

Show Highlights:

• How do Christians properly view the body and natural desire?


• Why is a promiscuous worldview incorrect?


• What do the Victorians and Puritans get wrong about a prude and rigid treatment of eros and sex?


• What a properly ordered eros or desires look like.


• Why sex and pleasure are, at a base level, good until they become corrupted.


• Is eros mainly an evolutionary appetite?


• Does this carnal element of eros make it dangerous?


• Why our view of Eros and sexuality need not be restrictive if ordered properly.
