Welcome to Celestial Sex, hosted by Chris Duce and produced by Colin Hatch, where we have frank and open conversations about sex in the context of a Mormon upbringing. This week, we bring you part one of a two part interview with Jake Bernhardt. Jake is a father of seven and in a mixed orientation marriage- he is gay and his wife is straight. We discuss his LDS upbringing, early sexual feelings and experiences, and mission. In part two, we'll discuss his marriage and coming out story. Jake's emotional storytelling is incredible, so lots to look forward to! If you'd like to support the podcast you can become a member of our Patreon at patreon.com/celestialsex.
