One of the things that I've come to
00:00:01
realize a lot as I unpack my religious
00:00:05
past, as I unpack purity culture, it all
00:00:09
came down to lack of communication, lack
00:00:12
of talking about anything, sex,
00:00:15
emotions, physical, like your body,
00:00:17
right? Talking about what actually those
00:00:19
things look like. And so there's this
00:00:21
lack of communication around those
00:00:22
things. So there's lack of education
00:00:24
around those things. And because there's
00:00:25
lack of education around those things,
00:00:27
people just don't know. They just don't
00:00:31
know.
