Dr. Kristy Money here - licensed psychologist and lecturer at Texas State University. I'm writing a book on how purity culture affects women’s sexual wellbeing. While purity culture may have started in certain religions, they can shape anyone’s experience: whether you’re Christian, Jewish, Hindu, or identify with another faith (or none at all). By sharing your story, you’ll help advance understanding and support research on issues like low desire, sexual pain, or difficulty reaching orgasm, so that more women can find hope and empowerment.
