Funny and fun interview of a former evangelical, "church planting" minister and partner, who was a Christian counselor tell all. From pretending from the pulpit to gods commandment to fulfill your husband's sexual demands.
This is a surprising topic on many levels. On the surface it seems a simple topic, underneath it deals with medical incompetence, regaining sexual pleasure, bodily autonomy, mothers making choices about their boys, and so much more. I regret that we even have to have this episode, it shouldn’t even be a discussion. But it is in our culture.
Two courageous women talk about their abortions. The religious right has learned how to use shame and guilt against women, lets talk out loud about this. Women have a right to bodily autonomy.
Darrel discusses masturbation in marriage, communication per sexual adventurousness vs security, circumcision and other listener suggested topics.

Mia and Jane talk to us about their work as "Cam girls". What they hear and see and how they interact with clients. Why clients want to talk with them and what they have learned and gained personally. These two women have amazing insights.
