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