In this episode, Whitney Kobrin, Love Expert and Dating Coach, is back again to join us for a new segment, Hot Topics, as we discuss a recent research article "Overcoming Purity Culture & Sexual Dissatisfaction to Feel Empowered In Your Sexuality." We explore how the restrictive messages of purity culture contribute to sexual shame and dissatisfaction, particularly for women, impacting not only their ability to fully embrace their sexuality, but also the physical manifestation of sexual pain like vulvodynia and vaginismus. We share frank personal experiences and strategies to reconnect with your body and rediscover pleasure through non-sexual touch, open communication, and trust-building practices.

The conversation highlights the importance of understanding personal desires, building comfort with intimacy, and aligning with one’s natural cycles for deeper, authentic connections. We hope that through this episode you feel empowered to break free from limiting beliefs, reclaim pleasure, and foster a confident, fulfilled sexual identity.
