Ep. 120: Why Heathens Have Better Sex Than Christians (Paul and Morgan / Girl Defined / Fundie Sex Influencers / Purity Culture / Dating / Relationships / Valentine's Day )

•

On this Valentine's Day special, Sadie and Gavi discuss sex advice from notorious fundie sex influencers Paul & Morgan and Girl Defined. Later, they are joined by sex therapist Liat Fruman to get a qualified professional's take on this advice.


TW: In general we talk about a lot of potentially triggering topics on this show, including but not limited to suicide and mental health, racism, misogyny, PTSD and PTSD symptoms, child abuse, mental, physical, and sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse including guilt, shame, and fear. In most episodes we’ll mention at least a few of these topics, but we try very hard to avoid graphic detail unless it’s relevant to the story we’re telling, and we do our best to give the audience a heads-up before going into detail on any of these topics. In this episode, we are going to be going into a lot of detail about purity culture, modesty culture, which brings along a whole lot of homophobia and misogyny and some racism as well. We’re going to talk about sex-shaming, body-shaming, purity rings, the whole nine yards. 


A special note for any listeners who may be asexual, sex-repulsed, minors, or just wanting a heads up on actual explicit content. We are going to be talking about specific bits of sex advice given by these Christian influencers, but we’re going to keep it PG-13 at MOST on the streaming edition, although the Patreon edition might get slightly more blue. 


I want to give you an example at the top, just to level-set. The advice we’re going to be talking about is like, “try new things”, “wear something sexy”, “don’t be afraid to use lube”

  • We Were Cut Out of the Mary Cosby documentary (Mary Cosby Parts 1 and 2)

    01:43:00|
    In the fall of 2024, we contributed to a streaming documentary focused on Faith Temple Pentacostal church in Salt Lake City Utah, and its first lady, Mary Cosby, who is a cast member on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. This documentary was released by TLC as "Cult of the Real Housewife." Our contributions to this documentary were not included, and we believe that this documentary did a disservice to its audience by not going into detail on the SHOCKING things that we found.Stay tuned for Part 3!Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!https://www.youtube.com/@leaving_edenJoin our discord server! https://discord.gg/aneFkUJuJoin our subreddit!

    01:26:32|
    In this episode, we discuss the recent expose on Riley Gaines, the former University of Kentucky swimmer who has become the face of the anti-trans women in sports political agenda. While Gaines is no doubt a talented swimmer, the story that she told of victimization at the hands of U Penn's Lia Thomas was largely fabricated. However, this story became a divisive issue that helped propel Donald Trump to a second presidential term.https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/11/riley-gaines-anti-trans-lia-thomas-ncaa-trump/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKUl8lkuGOchttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ4q94gAnsoW2jME4SvVrrQJoin our discord server! https://discord.gg/aneFkUJuJoin our subreddit!
