It's easy for people to talk about toxic masculinity and where men need to man up in the church.

But what about women? What do they need to do?

In today's episode, I'm going to talk about a widespread female sin that almost everyone ignores.

And what we as a church need to do to help our sisters in Christ.

So what is that sin?

It's cornography, corn, adult explicit materials. Look, I can't say the P word because I really want this episode to reach as many people as possible. And YouTube's algorithm is really persnickety about that word and throttles videos that mention it. So you're going to hear a lot about corn in today's episode,

though ironically, literal corn is also bad for you, but I'll save that for a future episode.

And big thanks to Matt Frad, author of the corn myth and our anonymous female panel for reviewing

today's episode. First, we need to bust the myth that only men consume corn. According to a 2018 study, 91% of men and 60% of women consumed explicit materials in the previous

month.

And some of the most popular books for women, selling hundreds of millions of copies and

appearing in thousands of popular TikTok videos, are explicit, even though people try to euphemize them as

just being spicy or smut. So in today's episode, we'll talk about the unique ways corn affects

women, how through God's grace women can overcome this sin, and how we as a church can help our

sisters in Christ. And of course, disclaimer, this episode deals with mature content, so be

advised of this topic may be a stumbling block for you. Now, the first way we can help people

overcome this sin is by acknowledging the problem and rejecting stereotypes that keep people

hooked on corn. For example, some men consume explicit media because they buy into the stereotype that

all men do this, which is not true.

Likewise, some women get stuck in this habit because they're ashamed to tell anyone about

it, since they think women do not struggle with this problem, which also isn't true.

Across the world, women make up 30% of the Hub's audience, one of the largest corn sites in the world,
