Unpacking the Impact of Religious Upbringing on Sexuality
The chapter explores the lasting impact of growing up in a restrictive religious environment on individuals' sexuality, discussing the disillusionment around sexuality and marriage, religious trauma, and seeking sex therapy to shift worldviews. It delves into the grief and complex emotions of shedding the constraints of religious purity culture, highlighting the importance of creating spaces to navigate these emotions.
