The Hymen & Other Misconceptions About Virginity [148]

10/16/23 • 38 min

In this episode, Matt & Jenn discuss the hymen -- facts and fiction -- as well as other misconceptions about the concept of virginity.

There is no “virginity test.” The presence, absence, or any other physical appearance of a hymen is not a reliable indicator of a woman’s previous sexual activity. The same is true for vaginal bleeding or pain with initial sexual experience. Every women has a different experience.
“Virginity” does not determine someone’s worth as a person or as a future spouse.
While the ideal is that a person refrain from premarital sex, a person’s current sexual attitudes and behaviors are far more important than their past.

Questions About Female Orgasm [150]

Send us a text

In this episode, Matt & Jenn are pulling from submitted questions regarding the theme of female orgasms. Specifically, how can a husband help his wife orgasm? How can a wife learn to orgasm in different ways? And how important is a wife’s orgasm, anyway?
Take-Aways:

Husbands often place far too much emphasis on their wives orgasm and miss the far more important goal of seeking connection during sex.
If a wife seeks to improve her ability to orgasm, a better understanding of her barriers is required. Seek to understand any possible places of sexual shame. Lean into the journey to explore your own body and sexuality.
