Ep. 239: Why Do Christian Girls Struggle with Sex? Re-Training the Body & Brain with Jess Seitz, PF-OT
Many Christian couples reserve sex for marriage, but *how they go about doing that* can have a huge impact on their physical intimacy after they get married. What is a dating couple supposed to do to keep healthy boundaries while not shutting down their natural sexual desire? What about married couples who found out after marriage that their strict attempts at gatekeeping made intimacy more challenging now that there are no longer any "rules"? I'm joined by pelvic floor occupational therapist, Jess Seitz, to discuss this common struggle we see among our Christian clients and the HOPE that is available for both dating and married couples! We talk about ways to honor God's good design of sexual desire while still maintaining faithful dating choices as well as something you can start doing today to heal your hurt if you're married and struggling in this way. This episode is full of helpful discussion and practical tips that we hope encourage listeners! NOTE: This episode is not appropriate for all audiences as it talks openly and explicitly about sexual concerns and realities. GUEST BIO: Jess Seitz is a trauma-informed pelvic floor occupational therapist and founder of Pain Free Intimacy, where she works as a vaginismus recovery coach to help women from around the world break free of the pain and frustration of vaginismus to enjoy intimacy the way it was intended.
