We are going THERE. This is the start of a two-part series about premarital sex. Today Matthias Roberts joins us to help those of you open to considering what breaking some of your former rules might look like.
(Note: In October you’ll hear part two, a discussion about celibacy.)
Join The Jess & Devi Show community as a partner, and hear this week’s episode: Jess and Devi discussing the four paradoxes of sex outlined in Beyond Shame. You’ll also get movie recaps, Devi Reads Jess The News (And Jess Tells Devi What To Watch), and uncut episodes with guests. Join today for $3 USD a month.
