episode 68: Jesus' Marriage to Mary the Magdalene Is Fact, Not Fiction
"The publication on Nov. 12, 2014 of the book I co-wrote with Prof. Barrie Wilson, The Lost Gospel: Decoding the Ancient Text that Reveals Jesus' Marriage to Mary the Magdalene, has caused a worldwide theological firestorm, including demonstrations in India.

episode 69: The concepts of "porn addiction" and masturbation in Evangelical churches
"Buchs, Gallagher, and Pure Life Ministries believe that Evangelical churches are filled with “porn addicts.” What should we make of this assertion? Is “porn addiction” even a thing?

episode 73: Porn addiction is not real, sex addiction is not real either
"1. "'Sex addiction’ and compulsive sexual behaviors are the same thing." Wrong. Whilst the DSM-5 has rejected "sex addiction" as a diagnosis, the ICD-11 has endorsed the term "compulsive sexual behavior disorder" (CSBD). The World Health Organization (WHO) clearly states that CSBD is not, however, an addiction disorder and that those two terms should not be used interchangeably.
I also frequently hear, "It doesn’t matter what we call it...
episode 74: Porn star stories
"4. Has working in adult entertainment made you more aware of your sexual health? Son of the Seas:“Yes, seeing yourself on camera makes you look at yourself a little closer. When it comes to working with other models in the industry being safe is one of the most important aspects of making content.

"People are often confused by what I do when I tell them I am a Sexual Empowerment Coach and Sexuality Educator. The other day someone said, “Oh, so you do prevention?”
I smiled and explained that prevention might be one small piece of a holistic approach to sexuality, and that I’m more about creating and expanding sexuality than preventing it!
We learn to deal with sexuality in deficits. What’s not there. What we don’t have. What we can’t be. What we can’t do...
