God’s Plan for your Genitals w/ Dr. Eric Sprankle

This week we are excited to be joined by Dr. Eric Sprankle (@drsprankle on Instagram). Dr. Sprankle is a clinical psychologist and professor of human sexuality and author of the recently released: “DIY: The Wonderfully Weird History and Science of Masturbation”. He’s joining us today to talk about what a porn addiction *actually* is (hint, it’s not what religion teaches us!), our innate sexuality, and how it’s the messages around sexuality, porn, and masturbation that creates the guilt, shame, and other negative responses…not the acts themselves. It’s a great episode for all of those post-purity culture folks who weren’t taught about healthy sexuality and sexual development!
