Escaping Purity Culture with Mattie Jo Cowsert

Today's episode of Sex Talk Cafe features Mattie Jo Cowsert, raised by a pastor and once a proud purity ring wearer before moving to New York City where she experienced an unexpected worldview and identity implosion thanks to Tinder and her Jewish roommate. Author of the book and blog by the same name, God Sex and Rich People, Mattie Jo is a living example of a woman who overcame the negative impact of religious programming and is now a beacon of hope for others. In this episode we explore the myth of "too soon", identifying what Mattie Jo calls "mysogynistic day walkers", overcoming sexual shame, and the steps you can take to overcome religious trauma and expand your capacity for sexual pleasure.
