Episode 59: Myths We Learned from Pop Culture
About this episode
Where did you learn about sex? Was it from your church? From
your parents? From your friends? No matter how much true and good
sex-positive teaching we had, most of us learned a lot about sex
from popular culture, too.
Movies, television shows, and popular music often communicate
messages about sex that are more myth than they are truth.
In this episode, we talk about some of those myths--and we'll
look at the truths that should replace those myths.

What does God have to say about marriage and sex, women's
sexuality, and men's sexuality?
Song of Songs
So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing
better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be
glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of
the life God has given them under the sun. – Ecclesiastes
8:15
May your fountain be blessed,
and may you rejoice in the wife of your
youth.
A loving doe, a graceful deer—
may her breasts satisfy you always,
may you ever be intoxicated with her
love.
– Proverbs 5:18-19
That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united
to his wife, and they become one flesh. – Genesis 2:24
“For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and
be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is
a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves
himself, and the wife must respect her husband. – Ephesians
5:31-33
The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and
likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority
over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way,
the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it
to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual
consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to
prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you
because of your lack of self-control. – 1 Corinthians
7:3-5
Drink water from your own
cistern,
running water from your own well.
Should your springs overflow in the
streets,
your streams of water in the public
squares?
Let them be yours alone,
never to be shared with
strangers.
– Proverbs 5:15-17
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit
adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman
lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his
heart. – Matthew 5:27-28
They are darkened in their understanding and separated from
the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the
hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have
given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind
of impurity, and they are full of greed. – Ephesians
4:18-19
