Purity Culture

Purity culture is a subculture in American evangelical Christianity centered around maintaining sexual purity. In recent years, it's been shown that purity culture is harmful. It taught women in particular to be suspicious of their bodies and resulted in anxiety, panic attacks, and even PTSD. A new Bible study promoting sexual purity is reintroducing true love weights to the next generation. Purity Ring Organization Silver Ring Thing has also recently re-marketed as unaltered ministries but holding on to its heritage.
