Welcome to our weekly thread for discussing the factual elements of purity culture. Does anyone have anything they’d like to discuss? Questions about what they were told? Myths they believed about themselves/others? If so, feel free to post here!

Welcome to our first weekly thread. This is aimed to provide a fact-based discussion about the some of the aspects of purity culture, from discussing its historical origins to debunking myths. Today I’ll post an article I found in the comments but please start your own comment threads if you have any specific topics you’d like to discuss. Don’t be shy! We want to hear from you guys.

We would like to compile a list of sex-positive sex-ed resources to put in the sidebar. Does anyone know of some sites that would be useful? Especially anything for the GRSM community as they tend to get the short end of the stick. We appreciate any help you can give us.

I’m moderating a new subreddit called r/Above_Purity which aims to discuss the harmful aspects of purity cultures and breaking away from those notions. I know these are present in many religions including Mormonism and I think it might be beneficial to some of the users here who may still be recovering from these harbored thoughts or seeking to actively engage with them by dismantling their foundations.

If this interests you please join us on the sub. We have a sticky up right now asking for user input so please provide any suggestions about what you’d like to see when you get there. Hopefully we’ll get it going more in the next few days.

I am moderating the subreddit r/Above_Purity for discussing purity culture, their stance on GRSM (Gender, Romantic, and Sexual Minorities) issues, and other related topics in the purity cults. We are hoping to inform and create a dialogue about the harm these groups do, and of course I’d assume many of you here would like to do that as well. Please join us if you think you’d be interested!

Hey guys. u/Researcher707 just started this sub so we don’t have much going on with it right now. Do any of you have any ideas for content? Weekly threads? Any suggestions whatsoever? We’d appreciate any input you have.

Edit: Thanks for all your suggestions! We’ll get to work on them and update back on progress.

So far we have decided on:

A Scientific Sunday thread for discussing scientific components of purity culture and debunking them.

GRSM content being included was an original goal of the subreddit.

As for sex-ed, I’d like to compile a list of resources for you guys. Does anyone have any suggestions of sites they’ve found helpful?
