Dr. Slattery answers this important question:
"Did God create the act of intercourse to be pleasurable for both men and women without stimulation? How do you work toward that if it doesn't happen naturally?"
If you want to get “cancelled” in Christian culture, try using the phrase “sexual purity.” Even for many committed Christians, sexual purity has lost its luster.

Hey Mommas! If you've got little ones, this Q&A is for you. One Reclaim 2.0 participant wrote in:
