Trigger Warning: This episode talks explicitly about sex…including rape.

This is the last of a three-part series dissecting the documentary “Shiny, Happy People.” The conversation would not be complete without having a conversation about “Purity Culture.”

Our guest today is Jane Ryan—a licensed marriage and family therapist and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist who works with couples harmed by the culture.

judgmental context.
