Summary

We’re talking about sex today…but not in the way you expect. This time, we’re talking about being sex-less. What do you do when you’re single and living in a sex-filled world? How do you save sex for marriage when everything inside of you and around you is telling you otherwise? How do you honor God, and still have a healthy awareness and understanding of your sexual desires? How does the purity culture impact our beliefs about sex for both good and for bad? Today I’m talking with my single friend, Kat Harris, who has been learning about the journey for herself. We’re answering this caller question: I’m committed to saving sex for marriage. I do believe it’s God’s best for my life. But the struggle is real! What tips, advice, or suggestions do you have for me as I’m trying to remain sexless, in a sex-filled world?
