EP252 Overcoming Sexual Shame & Religious Trauma: The Impact of Purity Culture with Dr. Eric Sprankle

We have got another doctor in the house and this man is a powerhouse releasing hilarious and often scathing remarks on the state of sex education in our current culture. He received his doctorate in clinical psychology, completed a postdoctoral fellowship in sexual health, and was awarded tenure in the Department of Psychology at Minnesota State University where he is currently an Associate Professor, Co-Director of the Sexuality Studies program, and leads the Sexual Health Research Team examining the intersections of sexuality, stigma, and Satanism. He has published articles on the effects of sexually explicit material, older adult sexuality, sex worker affirmative therapy, and Satanic sexuality. We want to dive deep with this man today because we’ve never had anyone quite like him in over 250 episodes. Please welcome the infamous Dr. Eric Sprankle!
In this episode you will learn about:​

The relationships between Satanism, stigma, mental health, and sexuality

Ways to overcome religious trauma/sexual shame

How can we improve sex education in the United States specifically and across the board
