I grew up in a Christian household, and was heavily influenced by this faith. That's why I thought it'd be interesting to do this episode.I've also worked with a LOT of Christian men, who want to have great sex and NOT let go of their faith. I want to support them in their desires for that, and so whatever positive content I can create to help these men and their partners, the better.EPISODE TIMES & TOPICS:00:00 - Intro01:28 - Opening03:34 - Kevin's Background09:17 - The Conflict Between Sexuality and Spirituality12:22 - Epistemology & the Ways of Knowing19:20 - Christian Views on Sex & Masturbation23:17 - Sex Positive View within Christianity31:45 - The Original Intent about Sexuality in the Bible36:59 - The Church & The Dichotomy of Healthy Sexuality41:48 - The Myth of Onan & Is Masturbation Sinful48:07 - The Christian View of Male/Female Dynamic in Society53:24 - "Porneia"  59:17 - Prayerful Sex1:05:41 - Kevin's Journey of Sharing His Work in The (Christian) World1:12:02 - In & Out Group in the Christian Community1:15:31 - How to Connect with Kevin1:16:46 - Christian Trauma---------------------?  CONNECT WITH KEVIN:?
