Summary

As a single person, your sexuality isn’t defined by a list of “do's and don’ts” or captured by simplistic questions like, “What does the Bible say about masturbation?” Your sexuality—single or married—is ultimately more about relational intimacy than what you do with your body. So how DO you express healthy sexuality in your friendships and dating relationships? We’re glad you asked. Join Juli and Dr. Doug Rosenau for part two of this conversation about the questions you’re too embarrassed to ask about sex.

0:56.0	We've just focused on outward behaviors instead of challenging your character.
1:01.0	We've told singles to stop objectifying the people that they're attracted to, but we haven't taught them how to value those same people.
