Rly impressed w the access omg kudos to the writers and animators. Anyway if anyone else is interested, I thought the Netflix series “feel good” does a good job discussing addictions as well. So interesting to hear Alice’s story here though, rly blown away and hope she’s doing great now!!!

Minute 4:07 Coming from a really conservative framework of Christianity it was really hard, especially for a woman to acknowledge that I had a sexuality and I shouldn’t be treating it like the enemy. I am clearly not agree with this statement. Because it seems generalizing all conservative Christianity to have that kind of point of view about sexuality. Clearly, the Bible teaches us that God is the one who created sex and marriage. And sex and reproduction should be something that is taboo and unholy. How can it be something that unholy and God created it? So Christianity views sexuality as something that holy. But like any gift of God, it requires us to have self-control over anything that were given to us. That is the responsibility for us to do. So I think the problem is not how Christianity views sex, because christianity sees it as a beautiful gift and holy thing in front of God.

Continue… So clearly, Christianity never sees sexuality as an enemy. But the enslavement to our desires is. Like kind of any other addictions that destructive, I think all religion and culture condemn it. For example: addiction to drugs. The drug itself is not an enemy, but that inability to control the desire of taking it becomes the problem. So, I think one’s perception of a thing, in this case, the woman’s perception of conservative Christianity can’t be used to generalized conservative Christianity.

And it is proven that what she says about conservative Christianity takes sexuality as an enemy is wrong. We never teach that and it actually contradicts the Bible itself.

That’s all true biblically but in the video, she was just sharing her viewpoints growing up. That was her experience and I think we could learn and understand that many young women in the church are still thinking of sex as something unholy and evil which is very valid, considering how for many young Christians, their first experience with sex is through stumbling upon pornography online instead of hearing about it in church.

It doesn't matter whether or not you agree with what she said. It's not your experience, it's hers, and she has shared with us what her experience has been like as a woman.

It has been my experience that most churches talk about men "struggling with porn" because it is "every man's battle." they say this without any acknowledgment that women may struggle in the same way. And ipsofacto they deny (not explicitly but with their actions) that women have complex sexual needs and experiences.
