Summary: In this week's episode of the podcast, we sit down with Marriage and Family Therapist Daniel Burgess to tackle the topic of sex, intimacy and masturbation in the context of a Celestial Marriage. The "M" word has become something similar to "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" in the lives of members of the church. Simply saying the word "masturbation" can bring up uncomfortable and awkward feelings. However, as Brené Brown so eloquently puts it, "Shame needs three things to grow exponentially in our lives: secret, silence, and judgement." In this episode, we take a step outside many of our comfort zones to discuss how masturbation fits (or does not fit) into the lives and marriages of members. If you have judgements, or strong opinions or feelings about masturbation, we invite you to listen to the podcast in its entirety before making a judgement about the conversation.
