Summary

In this special "after hours" episode of "You Have Permission," Dan and his old friend Lindsay share their biggest regrets from evangelical purity culture. They explore how this nonbiblical but influential sexual ethic affected both men and women during adolescence, acknowledging that women bore the brunt of its impact. Dan and Lindsay reminisce about cringeworthy memories, like bizarre sex ed object lessons and being used as "purity examples" in youth group. They discuss how purity culture shaped their limited sex education and filtered their understanding of sexuality and relationships. The conversation touches on the lasting effects of purity culture on mental health, physical well-being, and current relationships. The first half of this more personal and casual episode is available for free, with the deeper, more candid discussion reserved for Patrons.

0:00.0	Welcome everybody to an after-hours edition of the You Have Permission podcast, the show that aims to take both Christianity and the modern world of science and culture very seriously.
0:15.6	We take it seriously, but that doesn't mean we have to take ourselves so seriously all the time.
0:20.8	Does it? Lindsay Stranigan, my guest, tonight.
0:25.0	No way. Let's have a little fun. You know, let's get, let's get sexy. It's after dark.
0:33.8	Let me first say, Lindsay, welcome back. We had you a year and a half ago, I think, for the Jesus Movement music episode where we walked through.
0:43.5	We did a two-parter on that.
0:45.4	It was long.
0:46.5	And listen to a bunch of music from the Jesus People movement of the very late 60s and 70s.
0:52.8	I have all these ideas for podcasts that I'll never do. And like,
0:57.3	I have way too many. Sometimes I'll put them in Q&A episodes. I'll just keep answering the
1:02.3	question, what's a podcast you'd like to make, but you can't make? I just add that question back
1:07.6	in every time I do a Q&A episode and just pull another one from a list of
1:11.8	literally 75 or so ideas. And one of them is like, it doesn't really need to be its own show.
1:18.5	I thought, well, this, let's try this out as a segment. And the idea is called yes regrets instead of no
1:24.2	regrets. If I had artwork for it, the artwork would just be a photo of that tattoo that someone has that says no regerts.
1:33.2	Have you ever seen that?
1:35.4	I have seen that.
1:36.5	It reminds me of a guy I met at like South by Southwest a million years ago.
1:39.9	He's probably someone you know about.
1:42.0	And he, when he was drunk, gotten against me tattoo, but spelled against like T.S. So against me. No. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Oh, no. I know. I haven't met. I don't know that guy. I don't remember who he was. He was in some band. He was in, you know, whatever, in that world. Okay. So no regrets, but actually, yes,
2:02.8	regrets, right? And so the idea would be to talk to someone about their biggest regret.
2:08.7	And you'd have to find the right kind of person who's willing to do that. But if you could,
