It’s graduation season, and today’s youth are coming of age in the post #MeToo era. During this transformative time in our culture, power paradigms between men and women have finally begun to shift, victims of sexual abuse & misconduct have a voice, and young people are more emotionally prepared than ever to protect their bodies and watch out for each other. But for all these positive steps forward, there is also more fear and confusion around dating and desire than ever before. In this episode, Dr. Tammy talks with, Clinical Psychologist and Sex Therapist, Dr. Deborah Berry about young relationships, having hot sex, and how good communication is not just knowing how to say no, but also when to say maybe, and why a positive and enthusiastic yes may just lead to the most pleasurable experience of your life. #WhatNow.

*Parents, educators and podcast listeners – this episode is a sex positive introduction on how to talk about consent, new sexual relationships, and how to have healthy communication with a sexual partner.

What if there was a revered religious leader who spoke about faith, God and sexuality in a positive and inclusive way? What if we had a mainstream, spiritual teacher who taught us to love and respect each other’s bodies while enjoying the pleasures of the flesh without guilt and shame? What if this person was Jesus? 

In this episode of The Trouble of Sex, Dr. Tammy talks openly with Reverend Beverly Dale about sex, pleasure, female empowerment - and how to be a good, honorable & sexually healthy Christian.
