Sexless in the City
A sometimes sassy, sometimes painful, always honest look at dating, desire, and sex.
Not having sex was easy.
But that was because my dating life looked more like the Sahara Desert than anything else. All of that changed when I moved to New York City. Thrust into a fast paced dating scene, I found a set of rules was not a compelling enough reason to keep my clothes on.
Growing up at the height of the purity movement, I knew this much: good Christians don't have sex until marriage. However, in the wake of an outspoken, albeit damaging, purity movement, the church has become largely silent on the topic of singleness and sex. More and more women of faith feel discouraged with Christian dating, riddled with sexual shame, and unequipped to navigate singleness in today’s culture.
