The thing is, "purity culture" and our secular culture's view of sexuality have seriously distorted the way we talk about purity, sex, and relationships in both secular and sacred spaces. While the idea that purity means saving sex for marriage might seem like a simple and straightforward idea, in practice it can turn the entire pursuit of purity into a vapid and meaningless pursuit. The truth is sex is a beautiful, sacred, and life-giving gift from God that is telling an amazing story.
